    I have a couple of kid who are fairly gifted artists – I wish I could get formal training for them. I think the talent is genetic and skips a generation. My dad was an amazing artist in woodworking and oil painting. Me? I still draw stick people and even they are questionable!:rolleyes:

  • They're both beautiful….Congratulations!

  • Wow! Very nice, congratulations to your daughter. Is she planning to go to college and do something with art?

    No, she just tinkers.
    She thinks she wants to work with the elderly.

  • Occupational Therapy?? That is a great field for working with the elderly and she could definitely work art in there too!

    Regardless her work is lovely!

  • Art therapy is something she might like, along with Occupational or physical therapy, both good fields to work in. Both drawings are excellent, you have a right to be very proud!

  • Do you think I could get your daughter to draw one for me of Sahara? I think she is quite good, and I would pay her for materials, shipping, and of course her talent. I could send her some pictures of Sahara and she could draw from those. What do you think? Since you homeschool, that would be a great art project for her. I homeschooled my son from 5th to 9th grade, one year he helped me with a ceramic natavity that I was doing in ceramic class. It turned out great, it has many pieces and he painted it white, and I detailed it in 14 carat gold. It will be his one day when he has his own family.

    So, I guess I couldn't have seen you in my recent trip throught the city of flying pigs (for those unaware, there is one). Two hours of stop and go southbound, trying to get to the airport. I was in the backseat and looked at every truck on the off chance there might be an AJ sighting. Obviously, no luck, as you were a few time zones away :) Had I seen AJ, I might have jumped out of the car I was in and jumped into your truck for a couple of miles…just to say 'Hi'...that's how slow going it was. My advise, for north or southbound, take the by-pass...but what do I know? There were plenty of trucks willing to wade through the traffic.

    @AJs: It's been a very long time since I read The Wizard of Oz. Is Wichita where the story starts? I googled "Dorothy's House Wichita" and nothing came up except ways to get to Liberal. That's where the house is that is advertised all over Kansas as THE Dorothy's House. From what I understand (and I have been wrong before…it could happen again) the house in Liberal is where they did some of the filming. But I love the Witch-ita reference...:D I think Dorthy's house was just considered to be a farm house "out in the middle of nowhere".

    We used to have Blue Jays come around and really squawk and squawk. Now we have crows, mostly mornings doing the squawking, squirrels doing the whining and a woodpecker playing the drums on the telephone poles. Natures band!

    There is a special place in hell for folks who do this to animals. I totally believe that. I am sad for the dogs, but at least now the are being helped or put out of their pain. Sigh
