Dd has one of her artworks on exhibit at the Royal Scottish Academy’s Annual Open Exhibition. I don’t think I’m BU to be so proud of her, although IRL she doesn’t think it’s worth mentioning to friends! She’s the youngest in the show.

It's not "just" the technical execution, which is wonderful, but the life in the paintings.

I remember this thread. Thanks for the update and all best wishes to your daughter. Real talent.

That's so true.

She’s SO good. Thank you so much for sharing @FriendlyLaundryMonster.

Thank you so much all. It's been so exciting the last two years watching her follow her passion and discovering that she has such a talent. The exhibition ended yesterday, which means that her painting Sun Girl will be couriered to the buyer. We'll miss it!

Edited

It sold for a good price as well! Looks like she has a future as a financially successful artist, not a starving one. Grin

@DuesToTheDirt Well that would be amazing if it works out!

I've just bought a signed print of Sun Girl. I definitely think she has an amazing future ahead of her.

That will be whizzing to you very shortly! 🙏🏽 Let us know what you think when you get it.
