The circle is now complete

I'm pretty happy right now. My wonderful neighbor's cute, sweet, smart, and artistic daughter is turning 18 in a few days. She's already a pretty darn good artist and she's doing an internship at a vet clinic, as well as doing advanced classes to finish up her high school. She's a really bright star and her mom, her dad, her brother, my dear partner and I all want to see her fly high and go far. We just finished collaborating with her mom on getting her a group present. Her mom didn't have enough to pay for this so we put a little money in and I found a good sale. We're getting her an acrylic starter set, a good one, that comes with a folding paintbox easel (I actually have one and it's awesome), 12 tubes of acrylic paint, acrylic medium, gesso, a palette, and a bunch of other neat stuff. I'm throwing in a couple of brush sets and my partner is going to stretch her a couple of nice canvasses. Working together, we're going to give her an awesome start in the world of acrylic painting - she'll have everything she needs, and can easily replace parts of it as she runs out. I'll include a copy of the catalog to the online art store I buy from, so she can see the world of wonder out there. When I was young, my interest in art was made possible by people who helped get me art materials. I am happier than I can express to be able to be part of that for another young artist.
