Since my last post about about four-year-old Marla’s mind-blowing talent<\/a>, I discovered that Marla’s web site<\/a> has added many more images of her paintings.<\/p>\n

The painting above is titled Fire Already.  Amazingly intense…<\/p>\n

Her work not only reaches out and grabs the imagination, it stirs up unexpected emotional responses.  Raw talent is a miracle to be enjoyed gratefully. It doesn’t matter if it disappears under the stress of public life.  One experience is enough to inspire you for a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Those of you who enjoyed her other paintings should go to her new gallery of images. I found her painting titled, "Darlene’s Bikini<\/a>" interesting.<\/p>\n

The rest of her gallery<\/a> bears visiting. Let me know what you think of "Mosquito Bite".  <\/p>\n

UPDATE: Pressconnects.com<\/a> of Binghampton, NY, has a charming series of shots of Marla, her family, and her art. Click on Open Photo Gallery and enjoy.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Marla’s art generates a lot of strong emotion, especially among self-important, and possibly envious, art expert "wannabes".  These folk seem to feel that you can’t tell if something is art unless you know the pedigree of the artist.  I am not going to link to these cretins<\/del> elitists because you can see far too many of them by Googling Marla Olmstead. <\/p>\n

Instead, I would like to refer you to Elizabeth Cohen<\/a>, who knows art and is fortunate enough to know the Olmstead family.  I think you might find her article  in the Binghamton Press & Sun-Bulletin enlightening. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
