| Yes I am proud of Bella Rose, but I am more proud for the reasons that are not apparent in this post.
What I am really proud of is the opportunities that my daughter and son in law have put before 3 unwanted Korean Children. Imagine what their lives would have been like in an orphanage or on the streets in Korea!
These children have seen the world and are completely home schooled when traveling on films. You cant imagine the Knowledge Noah (Next to Bella) has about the world and History and literature. Hes already beyond High School level.
Bella, Noah and Dillon are all going to have a rich and fruitful lives because of the nurturing of my Daughter and my son in law.
It is they who have given this Prodigy child the opportunities to give her incredible gift and the pleasure of art to herself and the world.
For without them Bella surely would have been a street urchin in Seoul, Korea. | |

| That's awesome! She could raise alot of money for college doing that.
If i'm not mistaken, that's Jackie Chan in the picture, right? | |

| Just thought I would give you an update on (6 year old) Bella's career.
She has done about 9 more paintings now and the gallery she works for is going to have a Show with her paintings in it. They are selling like hot cakes at 1000 to 1700 depending on size.
Salma Hayek has commissioned 10 painting from her. Salma wants a painting of each of her pets and Bella is currently painting in Salma's residence in New Orleans.
Besides that an art teacher is now taking lessons from Bella.
Bella has 16 more commissioned paintings after Salma's work.
It seems like Bella has become an overnight celebrity in New Orleans and there is a possibility of her going on the Oprah Winfrey show to tell her story of a mother who gave up her Korean baby daughter in Seoul Korea where she might have ended up on the streets but destiny took over and she was adopted, came to America and then traveled around the world several times and at the age of 6 has become a celebrity artist.
I will be going to New Orleans on April 30th and will shoot a room were many of her painting now hang. I will post them here so you all can see them.

| Definitely a story worthy of seeing on Oprah.
Congratulations to Bella (and her Grandpa)! Talent like hers should be showcased. I don't envy her parents task of trying to keep her grounded. Sometimes a fast rise to celebrity is hard to manage. | |

| | Thanks but I really had nothing to do with it. Im just proud of Bella, but your right about a quick rise to fame. Only their strong Christian beliefs and God can help them with that. |

| What a neat story, she is a very talented little girl! It's heartwarming to see people like your daughter adopting kids like that, are all three biological siblings?
I wish little Bella the best of luck, I'm sure she will have no problem saving enough for college. Maybe she will even have enough to put her siblings through college! | |

| Tink, No none of the Korean children are related by blood. Each were adopted separately, from separate families or mothers. My son in law (Jim) flew to Seoul Korea each time to pick up each baby. All were just a few months old when he brought them to America.
Its a chance of a life time for each one of these kids as they are now in a good home with private schooling as they all are traveling around the world with their father and mother on films.
The knowledge and history they have gained by living in many different countries is staggering. Each time I visit them which is about 3 times a year I teach them history, art, Music history, and architecture of the area or country they are in and it goes as credit to their schooling. I do a lot of research before I arrive in the country they are in. So most of my teachings are done in the actual location the events happened. In the case of art and architecture I take them to the actual buildings, statues, or bridges they are to study. They get so excited about those kind of lessons and they eagerly wait for the next lesson.
Ive taught them a lot about European history. They never forget because learning in the actual location sets the stories deep in their memory.
When I showed them "The Coronation" by David (Consecration of the Emperor Napoleon I and Coronation of the Empress Josephine)in the Louvre.
Bella of course looked at it very closely. It is a huge painting approx 20 feet high by 35 feet wide, and very famous. There are at least a hundred or more people in it. When I took them to the palace in Versailles
http://www.castles.org/castles/Europe/Western_Europe/France/france6.htm to teach them French history and the fall of the Monarchy with Louis the XIV and Marie Antoinette there was a copy of the Coronation hanging there. Bella saw one woman in the crowd in the paintings and her dress was a different color in the Palace copy than that of the one in the Louvre. If you look at the picture its on of the three women sanding dressed in blue dresses. Well one of them was pink. It was the only mistake in the painting and she caught it. This was a month after I took them to the Louvre for art lessons. I knew then she had an eye for art.

| We are all blessed to be sure. Jim, and my Daughter Tamara and the entire family go to church every sunday with the grand children and great grand children in tow. They run a very Christian home and you can certainly believe that they give thanks for all their blessings. Im lucky to have such a great son in law.
If you like you can see Jims work here in Internet Movie Database.
He has an incredible resume.
