Painting Tae Kwon Do fighter in Stance Art

This is my sports painting of Kayla age 9. She is a purple belt in Tae Kwon Do."

Kayla takes her sport and the study of the sport very seriously.  Her mother was telling me that she was raising money so she could go to a Taekwondo tournament and was selling candy bars.  So Kayla, with her mother, went down to the supermarket and stood in front of the store selling candy bars. 

A man walked up to her at her table she had set up and asked to buy three bars.  The total came to nine dollars.   The man gave her a ten dollar bill.  Kayla put the money into a box and closed the lid.

After a minute the man asked for his change. 

Kayla looked at the man, straight-faced, and said, "Change must come from within."

For those of you who don't know Taekwondo combines combat and self-defense techniques with sport and exercise.  It is a Korean martial art and is also known as Taekwon-Do.  As you can see there is a variety of spellings.
