My kid has a painting hanging in the art gallery at our local Penn State campus!
A consortium of art teachers from six local school districts selected the work of their best students to place in a gallery show. Bunny Jr. had one of her pieces selected. Here it is, it's titled "Puffin" and it's a Pastel:




Here she is, standing in front of the painting, pointing up to it:




Well, I'm just as proud as can be. :woohoo: Her dad is too - he thinks this will really launch her career as a tattoo artist. :eyes:

TeenMidlo's show choir is winning competitions left and right, but if I even 'hint' at it to her how excited we are if her friends are around, she gets all :eyes: on me.

3. Cool picture!
Pastel is such a lovely medium. :)

That reminds me, I really should get my butt in gear and start drawing again.

That can't be your daughter.
Whoever she is, she has a lot of talent.

7. LOL at Dad.
Hey...Look at the sculpture in front of her. It's posing just like she is. Did y'all do that on purpose?

I love puffins, and her artwork is really good. I know you're going to be looking for a frame, aren't you?

She's really cute, Bunny.

18. Oh thanks Maddy
She is very talented, I hope she does something arty for her career. Heh, we did not pose like that sculpture - I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it.

Her dad certainly has a way of keeping everyone's feet on the ground. :eyes:

17. Congratulations to your daughter! Her painting is great!
When my daughter was in high school, her ceramics class got to display their work at a local gallery. My daughter's piece drew a lot of attention, and offers to buy. (She didn't sell it; I have it displayed in my living room.)

Again, congrats to your daughter! :woohoo:

19. That is so cool about your daughter! I'm glad she didn't sell, it
probably means so much more having it in your home! Thanks!

26. Tattoo artist?? Do you watch the show "Miami Ink"?
There are a couple of tattoo artists on that show who have a shop in Los Angeles.

They charge $450/Hr and are booked solid for the next year!

I'm all for it!

40. We photographers envy painters BIG TIME, you know. We just point cameras at stuff, but the painters
make something where there was only a blank canvas.

(But I'm breaking the Photographers' Secret Code by telling you this, so let's just keep it between us, OK?
