HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

This is a special day for my brother, who lives in LA, because on this day about three years ago he emerged from the hospital alive after a massive heart attack. He called me today, and my only wish is that someday hugs can really pass through telephone lines.

YOUNG FOLKS!!!
The largest population on DA is probably the tween and young teen age group. They come here to show their work, collaborate, trade, inspire one another and to learn. They look to older, more experienced artists for encouragement and feedback. Take a young artist under your wing. You won't be sorry!
Most of you know that I'm an art instructor. I would like to introduce you to the galleries of three young students of mine in the real world and here on DA. Show them some love!






I'd also like to feature the gallery of my 18-year-old daughter (second oldest of four). Yeah, I'm biased, but I think she is a talented artist and writer. She's the bright young lady who told me not to delete Qallupilluit when it was just a doodle.


Other young artists' galleries worth checking out are:
