LOL...Oh, really? Is she a listed artist, or just a dabbler?

She is a Pharmacists by profession, but she is an artist by love and talent. Here is one of her pictures in a Doctor's office in Ponca City, where she lives.

:D

Oops...Now, I'm confused.

She is a confusing girl, ROFLOL! This doctor is a friend, and told her what he wanted, and she made this for him. She seldom does abstracts. :)

I used to keep her quiet in Church by having her draw. I decided to slow her down one day, and asked her to draw a platypus; in ten minutes, I had my picture, swimming underwater, and even shaded with rocks and plants. I knew I was in trouble, she was already good.

She had 12 hours of advanced placement hour in art (various areas) before she started college. My Sister is a Commercial Artist, and Debbie was quite good at drawing; But Jennifer is better than both of them.

:)

A platypus...wow...that's not exactly an animal that I would think she could have drawn very well. I'm not sure I could even describe one very well...lol...

It was perfect, and even showed the webbing it was using to swim! My Sister was telling me to push her into Art, because she was there already.

We had discussed the kids, and decided to support, and NOT push them into anything. But I was surprised when she decided not to study art!

She is studying art now, because it is her love, and she can afford to do so!

:)

That's the way to do it! Smart girl.

She has always been that. They went to private school, because public school could Not handle kids outside their normal. I told them both that I would pay their way to TCC (local jr college) but after that, they were on their own. She took only classes that would transfer to the Pharmacy school she had picked out. I expected 50 to 54 hours for an associate degree, and she left there, with no degree, but with 99 credit hours to transfer, ROFLOL! Joke was on me, she did exactly what I told her, and was close to her undergraduate degree, when she transferred.

She has a LOT of common sense too....

:)

Ha! Smart on both of your parts, actually. That is awesome for her to have a solid start without the massive college loans many kids have to deal with when starting out.

I am trying to get her to carve some wax figures, for me to investment cast for her, in bronze. So we will see....

:)

Hmmm...So she's a sculptor, not a painter...

Sculptor, painter, pencil, pastels, ceramics, charcoal, she even makes wedding cakes. I thought she would go to college for art. When I asked her about Pharmacy she asked me if I ever heard of a starving pharmacist? She is pretty practical.

The Doctor asked her for an abstract in a large size. He is a friend, so she made one for him. Her Mother was a talented artist, before the MS whacked her down. So she got it from her momma, ROFLOL!

She could make a good living as an artist, but she tells me she can keep her art, since they have a different income.

:)

Wow, that statement is pretty cool and very mature: "if I ever heard of a starving pharmacist?"

She is a special Girl. I taught her to work on cars, and Philip I taught how to cook, I didn't want either one to be helpless. I got them both a rifle when they were 7, so they both are VERY Good shots!

She runs a Pharmacy in Blackwell Ok. and it has one of the best fine art investment casting foundries in the US. That is why I am trying to steer her towards sculpting.

:)

Very good. Well done.

But what are "investment casting foundries?" (I know what casting foundries are, but "investment?")

Investment casting is a specific type of casting where wax is coated with a ceramic multilayer coatings. The wax is then melted out, and metal is poured in empty cavity. When cooled, the ceramic is cracked off, and the metal remains. Extreme detail is possible. All bronzes are done this way.

:D

Hmmm. Thanks. I always learn something following you, my friend.
