Last summer my 15 year old granddaughter asked me what my favorite photograph is and I showed her Steve McCurrys Afghan Girl which was on the cover of the 125th National Geography anniversary issue. Unknowingly to me she took the magazine home and as a surprise she painted the image for me as a birthday present. Maybe I am biased but for a 15 year old I think she did a great job, what do you think? Btw. She put it on her face book and got over 400 hits the first day. I am proud of her.
Incredibly talented young lady!

Fantastic work.....You should be proud. My two sons have artistic talent that is off the wall too and I wish I had some, but they must have grabbed all the genes in the family for that sort of thing. Several years ago I took my two sons on a trip to Ireland....One of the things we did was tour the Guinness Brewery.....while there they took a picture of me with a pint in my hands, standing near one of the arched entryways...I had an Irish hat on, a beard, and a green jacket. My oldest son, for a father's day a couple of years ago, took that photograph and painted a portrait, had it framed and gave it to me.....that was one of the most special gifts I have ever been given. I know exactly how you feel.

It's amazing how she was able to capture the haunting beauty of this subject as true as the lens did.
Very impressed!
