be sure to go to the link, and take a look at the slideshow of this child's art...pretty amazing!

[SpaceBar]

I was a bit skeptical before visiting the link, but she seems quite gifted.

Very gifted child. Amazing artwork.

[jjm2111]

it is. either she is an incredible prodigy or a horrible fraud. The art is unbelievable. The depth, color, light, shadows. Perspective. It isn't something many 12 yr. olds can accomplish.

NOT a prayer request ping...go to the link and view the slideshow!!!

Thank God. I was sure that the slide show would feature the kind of talentless crap that is often passed off as "art" these days. But it wasn't. She's gifted and should be celebrated as such.

Part of the appeal of art is that not everyone can do it. Anyone can splatter paint or push a canvas below an elephant before his dung hits it. I'm glad that she has found a market, and that's very encouraging. I'd like to see the death of "modern art" myself.

Humbling. The eyes are remarkable. The scenes are super
natural. Love the fish kissing the cross. Goose bumps.

air and they will tell you that God's hand is the life and

For the sake of convenience, here is direct link to the amazing gallery of art by Akiane Kramarik

This is my personal favorite among the beautiful collection shown:

Oregon Ping?

There was a TV interview with her two or three years ago, and she is the real deal...and a very natural young girl, at that. She has been given a wonderful gift by God, and I'm glad she is using it to glorify Him.

I would hate to think of living my life, with as little faith as I see some of my friends and associates display at times...

Is it really so hard to believe that this child has been endowed with a true gift??

**sigh**

[TChad]

Would these paintings be considered so remarkable if they had been done by an adult?

Are there old paintings by the mother or father that closely resemble the girl's work?

Color me skeptical.

Must be homescholled!!!!

awesome

Psychiatrists that have spent time with Akiane can't explain why she is a linguistic genius. They call it a miracle.

(et cetera)

In this layman’s humble opinion, someone’s laying it on awfully thick.
