This is a painting done by my 16 year old GD, Kayla. She is self taught. I have collected Koala's since I was about her age.

Thanks Carolyn: I have a spot in my living room for it, as I knew it was coming, just didn't know when. I want to get a nice frame for it first.
I do feel blessed. She has had a rough time until she moved in with my son and his new wife. Her Mom treated her as her personal slave and made her do everything for her (the Mom) and my grandson. The Mom spoils my GS as she thinks he is going to be a Pro-baseball player, so all the money goes on him and nothing for Kayla. She was also hitting her, so she finally moved in with my son. He now has full custody...Thank God..

Oh how sad, but I am very glad things are looking up for her, and that her Dad now has full custody. Gob bless!

57675Hi Jerri, Kayla has captured the essence here of the Koala, love the shading too on the ears and under the chin etc. They are such lovable creatures and so much a part of our Australian bush. Well done to her, love Chris

Thank you Chris: I am very please with how it turned out. If I ever win a big lottery, I would be on a plane the next day, my dream is to see and hold one if I can. So adorable looking...cute and cuddly. Hugs Jerri

That's how my daughter learned the fiddle/violin,but she would like formal lessons, just doesn't have 'time' to take them.

Thank you. I have heard the same thing, but still would like to be able to see and hold one myself.
I do encourage her, and at one point offered to pay for lessons, but no, she wants to learn on her own.
