I've never heard of Katy Perry, whoever she is, so that reference is lost on me. Regardless, those are supremely beautiful images. If she doesn't think that she has talent, you should give her a good whap upside the head with semi-thawed halibut and tell her to think again.

Those are very nice Evo. I'd be so proud of mine if she did that! Mine writes though and I always try to show her how proud I am of that, or anything else she does.

I mean, what's wrong with her trying to draw a very nice picture of you? She's done that already hasn't she? Maybe though you're a little shy to show us though. :)

She kissed a girl and she liked it, 'nuff said.

Your daughter has a good sense of shading and perspective Evo.

Evo,

Your daughter is truly amazing, would you say she qualifies in the above average percentile in the http://www.growminds.com/TheArts/GTinArt.htm" ?
I am no connoisseur of artistic skill, but looking at the list below from the link above I would say she scores high in every category except maybe the last one, how about a few of her doodles or incomplete sketches ?
Really cool stuff, now if only Zooby would show his face and give us his expert opinion on the subject this thread would be complete, IMHO.
Characteristics of the Artwork
* Verisimilitude
Children gifted in art develop the desire and the ability to depict people and other subjects from their environment at an earlier age than other children.
* Compositional Control
The elements of composition, color, space and movement are handled with greater sensitivity by visually gifted students.
* Complexity and Elaboration
Intellectual development is connected to the ability to relate information and observations about objects. Sensitivity to detail and the use of memory are directly related to complexity and elaboration.
* Memory and Detail
Even young gifted children are interested in detail and are more inventive in their drawings and sculpture than other children.
* Sensitivity to Art Media
The visually gifted child is more likely to explore and experiment with media, and achieve technical control, which results in a more elegant finished product. This is especially noticeable from upper elementary age on.
* Random Improvisation
Doodling and improvising with the effects of lines, shapes, and patterns are a favorite activity of the visually gifted child. The gifted child uses her ability to invent, depict, and describe to create meaning.

lol does she know you're posting all this on the forums? I'd be quite embarrassed if I suddenly found a parent posting about me in front of the anonymous internet masses.

A budding artist who is genuinely lovely, and the daughter of someone with the brains to be a PF mentor? Yeah, if the guy has any brains she'll never be "on the market" again.

How you know she's genuinely lovely? Oh, you mean her looks? yeah, that I guess but personally I think lovely is way more than just looking good. I mean you could have a beautiful woman who is just awful in more than 100 ways. And from a biologist perspective, just because . . .

No offense Evo. She looks quite confident and head-strong to me.
