I confess. I started to use the back button, thinking, "Well, that's nice- he's making sure to encourage the hereditary artistic tendencies-- WAIT! She's 10 years old and doing on-canvas blending and 3d perspectives on complex objects?!" Holy smokes! That's really amazing.

Very talented girl.

Just don't let her go to art college - they'll do all they can to knock that talent out of her.

I know from the experience of one of mine.

Well, I will say that they live about 90 miles from one of the best art schools in the US (in Overton Park, Midtown Memphis).

Not such a bad idea, Jeremy.

You could do it on a roll like wallpaper (you remember - the PAPER kind;not the electronic?).

Model railroad backdrops have been done very well in the past, and there was a great variety of scenes in many scales. Imagine how much more could be done for racing! The ones I saw were printed on 24 vinyl wallpaper.

I think she did wonderful. Talent like that only comes naturally. It has to be in you. It would take a long time to learn it. Great job. :)
