Budd Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 (edited) My daughter came home the other day to show me one of her high school art projects. It is a "skateboard" that was to be painted in acrylics and had to be a vintage advertising subject prior to the 60's. I love the choice she made. This is the same little 6 yr old pictured in my restoration blog when I first hauled my old buick home. I think I better step up the pace on getting it done before I'm a grandpa.Cheers,Budd Edited June 26, 2013 by Budd (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD1956 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Very nicely done. I have that car hanging on my wall at home, and I have almost that car sitting in my garage. I like the way she incorporated the design into the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budd Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 I'll pass on the compliments to her. The picture doesn't do the detail justice, and the flash glancing off the clear coat (to protect the acrylic paint) hiding the chrome detail. She's quite the artist for being 15. I think that was/is my fathers day present, but she was too excited to show me the final product after her art teacher asked to keep it. I'm glad she told her NO, I'm giving it to my Dad ! I need to find her a blank 8' x 20' wall in the garage next ....Cheers,Budd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEarl Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 As soon as I read the title of your post I thought about that drawing, actually I think there were a couple of them, that she did years ago. What a beautiful and talented young lady. Have a great Fathers Day, how could you not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest shadetree77 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) That's weird. It was there for several days then disappeared. That happens a lot when you upload the picture from another website (flickr, imageshack, etc.).

Thriller Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I keep forgetting to show this thread to Teresa...she's a bit older, but quite artistic as well. I'll have to try it on Suzanne's birthday present (iPad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budd Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Y'all need to leave the PC dark side! I still see it.Budd, are you posting from a Mac?Nope -- regular Win7 box. Odd thing is I originally posted that picture as an "upload" to the forum. I noticed it went missing too. I tried changing it to an embedded Google PicasaWeb image (which I use all the time for embedding images/video) and for some reason the forum here is not allowing it. So I tried again with "uploading" a local file to the forum and that seems to have worked to restore the image.Go figure.Budd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thriller Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Good thing this thread popped back up...I'd intended to show it to my 17 year old, who is also quite artistic. She was duly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
