Mercedez Young, a student at Athol High School, created an impressive painting of Clint Eastwood that is currently on display at the Athol Public Library.  Her art teacher, Mr. Aric Davis, challenged her with an assignment to paint a portrait of someone she did not know in a medium that was different than the watercolor that she was familiar with using.  Mercedez rose to the challenge, researched her subject, switched to oil paints, and created a striking and extra-large portrait of Clint Eastwood, giving it the title – “Make my day!”
