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.

She made him look quite lovable and cuddly, although I understand the claws are vicious! Encourage her; she has wonderful skills.

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.

Thank you, she doesn't want lessons, just wants to learn on her own..maybe one day she will change her mind.
That's how my daughter learned the fiddle/violin,but she would like formal lessons, just doesn't have 'time' to take them.

Hi 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

Very nice. I am in envy of anyone who can be so artistic. I can't even draw a stick figure.

He is realistic enough a body just wants to reach out, pick him and and hug the stuffing out of him! :) She is very talented.

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!

She is really, really talented. There is so much depth there. Don't give up on this and get all of the training you can because you are just filled with natural ability.
