Recognizing the Artistic Talents of Tyron Morrison
RECOGNIZING THE ARTISTIC TALENTS OF TYRON MORRISON -- (Extensions of Remarks - June 02, 2004)
SPEECH OF HON. MICHAEL F. DOYLE OF PENNSYLVANIA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 2004
Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the tremendous artistic ability of a young man from my Congressional District, Tyron Morrison of Woodland Hills High School. Tyron is the winner in the 2004 14th Congressional District of Pennsylvania's High School Art Competition, "An Artistic Discovery."
Tyron's piece, entitled, "T.L.," is an impressive portrait in acrylic paint of a young man's face, with a strong use of highlight and shadow.
Tyron's artwork was selected from a number of outstanding entries to this year's competition. I am certain that his family is proud of her artistic talents as well as this accomplishment.
It gives me great pride and pleasure that Tyron's painting will be representing the 14th Congressional District of Pennsylvania in the national exhibit of high school students' artwork that will be set up in the United States Capitol in the coming weeks. The winners of the Congressional Art Competitions held in each Congressional District will be displayed in that exhibit.
I encourage my colleagues as well as any visitor to Capitol Hill to view Tyron's artwork, along with all of the other winning artwork that will be on display throughout the next year. It is truly amazing to walk through this corridor and see the interpretation of life through the eyes of these young artists from all across our country.
I would also like to recognize all the other participants in this year's 14th Congressional District High School Art Competition, "An Artistic Discovery." I would like to thank these vibrant young artists for allowing us to share and celebrate their talents, imagination, and creativity. The efforts of these students in expressing themselves in a powerful and positive manner are no less than spectacular.
I hope that all of these individuals continue to utilize their artistic talents, and I wish them all the best of luck in their future endeavors.
