KIDS AT THE LOUVRE
Next month, Gabriel and Colette Speer will become two of the youngest artists to ever display their work at the Louvre Museum in Paris. The siblings were just two of 10 students to have their work selected for the Louvre from an exhibit in L.A. last year. Nine-year-old Gabriel’s painting is a portrait of King Arthur on his stallion while 11-year-old Colette’s is a Renaissance-like interpretation of the Holy Annunciation.
