My Favorite Painters and Composers: Part 2

Today I'm going to brag a little 
About my most favorite artist, my beautiful daughter, Eszter
Some of her oil paintings are displayed in this gallery


She's been painting since she could hold a brush and one of her paintings won the Grande Prize in a N.Y. State art competition when she was fifteen. She can't make a living from her art, just like so many talented artists, so she chose the noble profession of nursing and paints in her free time.



Some of her art is displayed on this website

Besides oil, she loves to paint with watercolor as well

It's okay to brag a little sometimes, right?

But now, listen to my favorite from Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3



Oh, one more thing I'd like to brag about
My trilogy, because being an artist myself, I designed the covers for the books:



This alternate history, urban fantasy, romantic magical realism trilogy is my most favorite of all the books I wrote because this is the kind of story I like to read. There is a mysterious secret society, magical powers and time travel to the past to visit the ancestors. Of course, there is a lot more.

Click on the links to find my books:

I also write fun, educational, and bilingual books for children ages 2-14 about acceptance, friendship, family, and moral values such as accepting people with disabilities, dealing with bullies, and not judging others before getting to know them. I also like to encourage children to use their imagination and daydream about fantasy worlds.

Thank you Tricia! I'm very proud of her. However, just like every mother, I would be proud of her regardless her talent and compassion about art :)

Brag all you want, Erika. Your daughter is incredibly talented - she certainly takes after you. As for Rachmaninoff, my favorite piece by him is "Isle of the Dead." (No surprise there, is there?)

Thank you Toi! She does beautiful work. I don't like everything from Rachmaninoff because he's a bit too dark for me, but this concerto is one one my favorites.

Artists, whether painters or writers, have the same problems - great talent but are unable to make a living from their art. Congratulations to your daughter, she has a gift.
