You decide.

If you saw my Millionaire episode - especially day 2 - you would have noticed that we talked about the tie I was wearing. I mentioned that it was made by my daughter Rachel (aka Tzippy in our home) when she was just five years old and 15 years later she is quite the talented artist.

So here are just a few of her works of art for you to judge.

For fun I decided to make it a poll. Feel free to add you comments.

Here is a color pencil drawing she did of herself in the style of Frieda Khalo:

Here is the painting that I mentioned on Millionaire that she did of Sophie:

Here is a painting she did of some young solders:

Wow. The end.
It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all...

I lovelovelove that portrait of Miss Sophie. I clicked the big picture so that I could look at it better for a long time.

Does Miss Rachel ever paint dogs?

I am envious! She's the bomb!
Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

Certainly looks like serious talent to me! The art biz seems like it can be a tough one so I wish her luck and success in it if that is what she would like to do as a career.

Well, if you saw my appearance on WWTBAM, you'll know that I see a lot of artists and artwork (of me). I would say that she has quite a bit of talent. Is she pursuing a degree in art?

Right now she is just doing it for fun. She took a drawing course but hasn't taken any painting courses. My wife paints reasonably well, so Rachel a few years back decided to try her hand in it also. Basically, she has just been painting in her spare time when the mood strikes her.

BTW, I couldn't find your appearance on eSnips - is it available anywhere else or a transcript I can read?

Thanks,

She really catches the eyes. That's very difficult. Plus the composition and the lights and darks, and pretty much she needs to continue this on a regular basis. Tell her never to let it go by the wayside as life gets in the way.
Well, then

There is a very brief clip on my MySpace page: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea ... ID=8249328

The clip doesn't get to any questions, but I think there may be a transcript of my questions somewhere in the GC databases...
