Showing off her freshly painted cat face design, 6-year-old Jazzybella Matos paints a picture depicting herself standing in front of her Nokomis home at the Pinot’s Palette booth. The painting booth was one of the activities geared towards children attending the Avalon Park West community’s Latin Festival. Jazzybella was at the festival with her grandmother, Milagros Morales.
