Chapter 1224: Chapter 1224: This painting is an imitation of Ella Stark_1

Jerry River, as a private doctor and also an ancient martial arts teacher, had high status and was well acquainted with the Yorks. He often stayed over and did not have to report to the master. Manie, who was naturally quiet and introverted, took a walk outside whenever things inside became bustling.

The two of them chatted casually, starting from discussing the development of their homeland to slowly steering the conversation towards Mane York. Soon, they were talking about the upcoming International Art Exhibition.

The exhibition would feature a large number of works by famous artists but would also have a special section displaying outstanding works from newcomers. Therefore, paintings from all over the world had been sent to the exhibition in advance for selection. If a painting could achieve a rating of third-class or higher, it would have the opportunity to be exhibited alongside the works of world-renowned artists. The higher the rating, the more prominent the position.

Mane York, as a promising newcomer, was already a member of the National Art Association in Grearon. Naturally, she had submitted her work for this competition. She was going to stay here for a few days for the event.

Talking about it, Jerry River took out his mobile phone and showed a photo to Manie, "Teacher Manie, look, this is the painting that Mane gave me. I have hung it in my living room. Everyone who has seen it has nothing but praises. She’s really amazing."

As he spoke, his words were filled with affection for Mane York.

Manie looked at it and paused before saying, "Teacher River, can you zoom in?"

"Of course, my student’s work is excellent. No matter how much you magnify it, it’s still a masterpiece!"

The painting was enlarged.

After looking at it, Manie’s confusion disappeared and she nodded, "I see. It’s that painting."

"What do you mean, Teacher Manie?"

Manie replied with a smile, "I was just finding this painting familiar. Now I remember, this is the one I asked her to draw several years ago when I first met her. I didn’t expect she would give it to you."

Jerry River laughed kindly, "When I told her I liked it, this girl gave it to me! I had no idea it was a painting from years ago. Our girl Mane York, she’s truly spectacular."

Manie awkwardly chuckled and said, "Actually, about this painting ..."

"What about it?"

"Well... I had asked her to recreate based on this painting. At that time, I wanted to assess her skills. Thus, I gave her a draft of a past student’s work for her to use as a reference. She modified some parts."

Jerry River drew out a long "oh," and said, "I see. But even to modify it to this extent is impressive, very impressive! Was the original work ever published?"

"Not really, that student wasn’t particularly pleased with her work and was going to dispose of it. I thought it was a pity, so I kept it. Plus, she is a low-profile person who doesn’t like to participate in these activities. Many competitions took place because of my advocacy on her behalf. However, she is indeed a golden genius. Her first competition got her first place and her development over these years has been improving."

"Who is it?"

"A person from Grearon, Ella Stark."

Jerry River clapped his hands, laughed, and said, "Ah, it’s her, I’ve heard of her, indeed! She’s indeed a rare genius! But I have not seen a photo of her, I heard from others that she is already in her thirties or forties, is it true?"

Manie laughed mysteriously, "She prefers to keep a low profile, I have promised her not to divulge anything, sorry."

Jerry River nodded and brought the topic back to the painting, "In your opinion, if this painting were sent to participate in the competition, what rating could it receive?"

"At least Grade One, third-class."

Jerry River bursted into a delightful smile.
