Well, the work of art that I really like happens to be a painted portrait of an army officer. At first glance, when I saw it, I got attracted to it and to ask who was the painter or the artist who drew the portrait, I was told it was somebody called Collins. When I saw it, that was back in the barrack when I was around 20 years old. I had gone to bring out, to pass out some soldiers who were graduating. I think I like the portrait. This is because it is something that rekindles me and makes me remember my grandpa who was an army officer. And with him, he was somebody to be emulated with his works that he did. Furthermore, when I saw the painting, this is something that was drawn in the dry savannah lands that showed me how much the army officer used to work so hard, that is, in regard to protecting our country. So when I saw it, it gave me an essence that in life one should always be hard or one should always be patient no matter what they go through in life. Furthermore, I think I like the work because it gives me a picture that one day it can be passed down the memory lane of my children and I think they would really like it.
