My kid has a painting hanging in the art gallery at our local Penn State campus!

[Bunny]

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:

[Midlodemocrat]

1. Wow. That is a great painting! She is very talented.

You must be very proud. And, you should be!!!

Just sayin'.

[matcom]

21. NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo

:cry:

I can convert her can't I?

:D

[Bunny]

23. She's pretty picky about food.

Good luck.

[Bunny]

8. Thanks!!

I am tickled silly. She is, of course, s-o-o-o-o blase about it. Teenagers - :eyes:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. LOL. I know.

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.

2. Nice work!!

I love puffins!!

[Bunny]

10. I like puffins too!

:hi:

[billyskank]

3. Cool picture!

Pastel is such a lovely medium. :)

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

[Bunny]

11. Thanks! I'm waiting for you to do one of your drawings of me, but

I know I'm way down the list! :hi:

[billyskank]

16. I've never even seen a picture of you, my dear Bunny!

[Bunny]

22. I have this one, but it's so old I'm tired of using it:

I have to get a new photo of myself.

[billyskank]

24. I stand corrected.

I have seen that picture before. :)

[trof]

4. That's your sister, right?

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

[Bunny]

12. Haha! She's my girl, alright!

:hi: trof and thanks for the compliment!

[crim son]

5. Congratulations to your daughter.

She has talent, I can see.

[Bunny]

14. Thanks!

:hi:

[Maddy McCall]

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.

[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:

[SeattleGirl]

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:

[Bunny]

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!

[driver8]

25. That is an awesome painting!!

Your daughter is very talented.

[Bunny]

28. Thank you so much!

:hi:

[driver8]

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!

[Bunny]

29. I've never seen the show, but if a good tattoo artist can make that much money,

I'm all for it!

[GOPisEvil]

27. Cool!! Good for her!

:thumbsup:

[Bunny]

31. Thanks, guy!

:hi:

[Richardo]

30. Fantastic!

Quite a talented kiddo you got there, Bunny. You and Dad should be proud, as should she. :toast:

[Bunny]

32. Thanks Richie!

I'm very proud. Her dad is, too - tattoo artist remark notwithstanding.

How are ya, darlin'? :hi:

[Richardo]

43. .

:hi:

Doin' pretty good - it's still the weekend! :bounce:

[graywarrior]

33. Yipes, that is awesome!

:toast:

[Bunny]

34. Thanks, gray!

I hope she goes to college for art or something. She really enjoys drawing, and it would be great to have a career you actually like. :hi:

[graywarrior]

36. Yeah...look at me, I went to art school and now I'm a copy editor!

But that's coz I was a slacker.

Seriously, your daughter has talent.

[Richardo]

42. One of my cousins is a mucky-muck for the Art Institute in the 'Burgh

I can put in a word, if he even remembers who I am :eyes:

[Bunny]

44. Okay, check in with the family aunts - they'll make sure he remembers you.

And don't be afraid to ask for a tuition break, okay?


:D

[Redstone]

35. Talented kid, right there.

Redstone

[Bunny]

38. Thanks Redstone!

:hi: I posted to your walking stick thread - I hope you get a nice one.

[Redstone]

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?

[Bunny]

41. Mum's the word, dude.

[Bunny]
