Bragging about my daughter . . .

 

So, what does an art major do when there are no jobs available. Her mother encourages her to start drawing, painting saint pictures in hopes that someone might be interested in an original of their own! The very first college art class my daughter took at community college brought out the artist in her. She has a knack of drawing people and getting very good likenesses. She actually painted individual portraits of a friend's six children for a gift one Christmas. She doesn't go ordinary with her portraits but tends to paint them in colors that reflect the personality. Anyway, in case these saints aren't immediately recognizable - St. Philomena, Padre Pio, Blessed Mother and Child, and Maximillan Kolbe.

Another thing an art major graduate does when there aren't any jobs available, is to head to another State and look for work there. The current economy is certainly changing life plans these days and not always to the better!
