Ms Sharon.....WON FIRST PLACE!!

One of our young ladies from youth group has a piece on display at UMES. I thought you might enjoy it.

nice thanks

Fantastic I struggle with stick people drawing!

Great work!

Great looking face on that,.....jk

HT, that is gorgeous !

It feels like a nice cross of stylized and anatomical study. I do like it !

The rule of thirds is perfectly portrayed , the angle and direct stare engaging the viewer as surely as reality in meeting.

The dark background, white whiskers highlighted against it in contrast...stylized fronds in muted tones giving the tropical feel .

Bright orange in the face directs focus and dimension from the body.

With such diverse mediums nowadays, I am wanting to say acrylic , or oil, but it could also easily be CARANd'ACHE, Polychromos FABER CASTELL, or even Prisma Colour pencils.

HT, please tell the young lady to keep it up .

Life seen from the right side of the brain in talent is rich in unique feelings that can live it to the full.

Thank you HT , for the share, and in enjoying your talents , as a natural in ability , as well.

Tis mighty

Stunning! Thank you for the share.

I will pass along the encouragement!

It’s beautiful, but the dang thing is looking at you wonderin if you taste like chicken!

That’s beautiful!!

She took home the Blue Ribbon!!!!

thats great,she has its eyes staring at ya in a truly realistic way.

Here here !!!!

Good deal !!

She will remember that forever.

Her style will change as she grows and works in her art.....it does with everyone....and thats good, never stop learning and refining.

What a great start !

Thank you HT for the news

Congratulation the young lady. I hope she keeps up with her art work. How old is she?

She is 18 I believe. Very talented and a hard worker.

That's terrific!

Then again I think Trapstick man is right up there with Picasso.
But seriously, wonderful talent.

Osky

Very Nice work!!! Beautiful!

I envy those with artistic talent.
My oldest sister could draw, paint and sculpt from the time she was small. By the time she was in high school her work was really good and even better after college.

I hope the young lady is encouraged to continue using this gift she has been given, many of us wish we had her talent.

I really enjoy seeing those who have a talent use it.

I have a nephew that has always had a special talent. Took him near 40 years to figure it was worth pursuing.

I have two step G-daughters that are very gifted also. Can't get either one of them to use their talents at all.

One thing about all of them is, they sure look at things in life from a different perspective than most others. Most times in a good way.

I am by far no artist, heck, I can't even draw a good bath. But I enjoyed in-particular, the merger with the tigers right ear, and the plant. It's like a focal point that draws you in. Very nice drawing young lady, you have talent!

Beautiful.!

That young lady has some serious talent. her work far surpasses anything that resembles a Trapstickman image even though Osky rates it with a Picasso. That being said, Osky, I have a drawing to sell you.

Good job, congratulations on the first place ...awesome!

Congratulations!

Found out it was Oil.

Here is her latest in Prismacolor and Pastel.

Thanks, HT !

She is having such fun discovering the world of art and life in motion . Developing her own style through time.

Coloured pencils are a world unto themselves, one which I have been enjoying as my main medium for illustrating for a long time, now, but still improving, refining, learning. The different kinds of pencils each have their own makeup, and ways of adhering to paper, as well as quality and degrees of lightfast .

Im really finding the German and Swiss makes are my favorites . Fortunately they all can be blended and used together.

Thank you for finding out what she used on the tiger, HT !

Love to see young artist's work, or anyone's , for that matter.

What a talent... thanks for sharing

The only thing I can draw is flies! LOL Congrats young lady, fantastic work !!!!!!
Dennis

Feathers.

Great talent!

Those are amazing!

Congrats, I can't paint a house.

For a man that loves nature and can only draw stick people I envy the young artist but am so pleased she never kept her talents hidden.

Very cool, HT !

Feathers are a world unto themselves , and down is so different in texture than feathers ...

Fun and colourful !

Thank you for the updates, HT , its wonderful to see talents expressed by everyone , because everyone has their own talents, whether they know it or not

Very nice indeed !

Great work! Bet it took a few days!

Beautiful work!

To each their own talent.

This young lady is a younger sister to the painter.

Wow thats great , HT !

Nice to enjoy talents like that and see how kids develop them into their own special styles as time goes along.

Thanks for the share

Apparently she got bored with the fur and feather stuff. My son purchased this from her recently.



I’m thinking art is like any other profession, only a handful reach fame status.

And usually after death.

Absolutely beautiful. To use your God given gifts and share them is a blessing to us all.

nice work

Water and underwater lighting is a different world, for sure. The perspective of below and above waterline is especially challenging. Pooling tones of water is really amazing...it isn't just blue. If it is shallow , inches with gravelly stones or leaves on the bottom, it is barely seen , except for lines of ripples and shore line. It can be a bit frustrating at times !

She did real well in all those points !

Especially tilting the subjects of waterline and shark gives a good motion feel that's important.

Thanks for the share, HT

Incredible

All I can draw is flies.

Moosetrot

I am always amazed how someone can see it in their minds eye and then share it. Amazing.
