This is one of my all time favorite nighttime winter scenes! Your white birch trees with their subtle shadowing in the foreground really are eye catching, especially against your deep, dark purplish-blue sky. Then as I study this work, I feel the excitement in the black details because it’s Christmas Eve.

OMGoodness! I can hardly believe that you created this stop motion animation. It’s so fun that I’ve watched it over and over again laughing to myself.
- Nana on March 20, 2024
You’re going to have to tell me all about this. As you well know, I’m a big fan of up cycling. I’m a big fan of your work.
- Nana on March 20, 2024
That’s quite a contest this are shows! The 3-D critters against the 2-D background appeals to me.
- Jane on February 14, 2024
Mixing green with various amounts of white or black really makes this an interesting painting. I enjoy seeing your art!

What a clever way to showcase the same snowman in four different ways!

You created a wonderful clay mug for your dad, who indeed is the Best Dad.

What a humorous expression on this bird’s face! I really like how you surrounded it with colorful streaks.
- Jane on February 14, 2024
It’s great that your art includes fabric and sewing! I liked hearing how enthusiastic you were about doing this. In addition to your project being attractive, you are learning a handy skill.

I’m giggling as I look at your perfect artwork of Rudolph with the old-fashioned string of lights in his antlers staring out at us. This is great!
- Jane on December 13, 2023
That’s an interesting 3-D critter with a camouflage color scheme. I like your sculptures.
- Jane on December 13, 2023
The shading and coloring in this picture are beautiful. I love the way you used different blues, different browns and different greens mixed right into each other and on top of each other. I continually get excited to see your drawings!
- Nana on October 11, 2023
What a creative way to make a background for your tree! I’m going to think about this every time I see a newspaper.
- Nana on May 10, 2023
What a great way to use small cut up pieces of colored paper! Good use of color shading in the water and on the crocodile! Your artwork makes me happy.
- Nana on May 10, 2023
What an amazing perspective! This piece makes me feel like I’m in a city looking over the edge of a tall building. I really enjoy carefully looking down. Wink ?? wink ??! You’ll have to show me how you achieved this.
- Nana on May 10, 2023
You really created an interesting dragon! What an incredible job you did on your enlargement of its eye. Keep creating your art!

Your beautiful background with its gorgeous colors and shapes really shows off your feline friend! What a great picture!
- Jane on December 14, 2022
What a lovely scene! I feel like I’m happily sitting in the grass on a hillside surrounded by bushes and trees looking at far away mountains in the background. There’s even a volcano. Did you use paint and a type of crayon to make this piece? I really like how your art covered the entire area! Very well done.
- Jane on December 14, 2022
I like this spooky Halloween picture because it includes items in the foreground, the middle ground and the back ground. I really enjoy your pictures!
- Jane on December 14, 2022
When I look at your picture, I feel like I’m in an airplane flying over New York City. You even included a helicopter landing area. I can tell you are learning about perspective and vanishing point. What a nice picture!
- Jane on December 14, 2022
This three dimensional tree uses colors in such an eye catching way. I’d really like to own a Christmas tree like this.
- Jane on December 14, 2022
This view of a red, orange and yellow Christmas tree is amazing!
- Jane on December 14, 2022
Your Mommy Plant reminds me of many jade plants I’ve seen. I can tell that you were very careful. The leaves almost seem thick. The use of blues and greens in coloring your plant make it even more beautiful. Keep drawing like this.
- Nana on October 19, 2022
The colors and shapes are just amazing!
- Scott (Father) on October 6, 2022
Marcus, this is absolutely beautiful! I love the shapes, colors, and that you filled the whole page. It makes me feel special that you named this piece after me!
- Mom on September 27, 2022
Beautiful use of color in the making of your animal. I like the vibrancy. That blue really pops. Way to go!
- Jane on July 13, 2022
What a colorful, interesting face you made with your clay slab using Picasso’s style! The green eyes really show two different perspectives. I totally enjoy your art.

Marcus, your Solar System is beautiful! What gorgeous color blending you did. I also see that you’re learning to show three dimensions in your art.

It makes me feel the holiday spirit. I can smell the fire.
- Scott (Father) on February 1, 2022
It reminds me of our New York and Chicago Trips. Love it.
- Scott (Father) on February 1, 2022
I like the different patterns you used in your hot cocoa watercolor and crayon picture! It makes me want to drink some right now.
- Jane on January 20, 2022
What a fun picture you have made! I really like the feeling that the your background of purple and blue diagonal parallel lines give for your green, super hero robot. The robot’s joints in gray along with its four orange appendages really show up nicely. Your robot uses interesting shapes, lines and colors.
- Jane on January 20, 2022
I like how you made the whole picture out of little lines. Did it take a long time to make it? The diamond-backed snake you made from purple and blue lines is quite beautiful. Keep up the good work.
- Nana on November 1, 2021
I love this diamond back snake. Very cool artwork.
- Scott (Father) on October 7, 2021
I feel like I’m swimming along with your fish in among the coral and seaweed. I really like pointillism. I really like that you are able to make a picture out of dots that do not touch. Way to go!
- Jane on October 7, 2021
I really like this owl. I especially like the the way the almost rainbow shaped wings on the sides contrast with the parallel wavy blue color ribbons go through the orange stomach. I also like how you used orange on both of the wings and the stomach and feet.
- Jane on June 16, 2021
What an interesting piece! I would love to hear you tell me how you made it. I especially like how the blue and yellow blend together to make green in some areas. The white lines really change the feel of this picture because the lines were made so deliberately in contrast to the freestyle of the color.
- Nana on June 16, 2021
Your love for cats really shows in this beautiful picture. We’re you thinking about your sweet Mr. Cuddles while you were creating it? I have seen him in each of the poses that are shown in this piece. Your watercolor background with torn paper on top of it helps me see in 3-D with some cats closer to me than others. Well done, Marcus??
- Nana on June 16, 2021
Your picture reminds me of the original artist’s city scapes. I especially like your school bus.
- Jane on May 21, 2021
What an unusual sculpture! It looks fun to make with the sequins and colors.
- Nana on April 28, 2021
I like the smeared effect of the colors in the round center body part.
- Nana on April 28, 2021
I find your paper sculpture intriguing. When I look closely, I am able to see each of the letters of your name. How clever! You will have to tell me each of the steps you did to make this sculpture.
- Nana on April 28, 2021
Oh, leaves! Yellow and red on the white really make a statement.
- Jane on February 10, 2021
Shapes! Colored paper, white paper and swirls of paint in the round body make for an interesting piece.
- Jane on April 28, 2021
I really like your patchwork grid of vibrant colors with a dark black alphabet letter in each rectangle tickles my brain. I like this piece a lot!
- Jane (Nana) on September 27, 2022
This person looks like you. I think that you have a shirt like this. The shirt, arms and hands are my favorite parts. Well done!
- Jane on February 10, 2021
I like your vehicle and the happy people in it. I wonder who they are and where they are going.
- Jane on February 10, 2021
What a happy looking person! It reminds me of your eyes and cheerful smile. I cannot wait until you tell me about it.
- Jane on February 10, 2021
What an interesting picture! Parts of your piece remind me of the coat of some wild animals. Your use of color and various shapes is very eye pleasing. I am happy you make a lot of art.
- Jane on February 10, 2021
I really like the feeling of the layering of colors in this art. I like how it uses different lengths of straight and curved lines.
- Jane on January 27, 2021
Wow, that is awesome!
- Scott (Father) on December 18, 2020
Very festive. I love it.
- Scott (Father) on December 18, 2020
Marcus your hearts show symmetry and remind me of James Goldcrown Hearts in his murals. Way to go! ??
- Jane on March 4, 2020
Good job using shapes to make this cool cat!
- Jane on March 4, 2020
Well done! I really like how your snow person shows up on top of the colorful spirals on the background.
- Jane on March 4, 2020
Wonderful scene! I love the colors, variety of media and textures. Makes me think of an aquarium we had years ago ??
- Jane on March 4, 2020
Beautiful mitten! I wish I had a pair like that to wear.
- Jane on March 4, 2020

Well done! Repeating this art on rectangles of fabric would make a n absolutely gorgeous quilt.
- Jane on March 4, 2020
Marcus, I like that your tree climbing rainbow chameleon, besides being colorful, has dots, circles, stripes, and swirls. The chameleon’s smile makes me smile, too.
- Jane on December 11, 2019
I really like the different types of 3-D paper lines you made...curly, folded, creased, with different shades of pink, green and of course purple. Love, Jane
- Jane on October 30, 2019
Marcus, this looks just like I pictured it in my imagination when you described it to me. White crayon and paint wash surely makes a beautiful picture. Love your, Nana
- Jane on October 30, 2019
Marcus, I really like your dot art work. It would make a beautiful umbrella. Keep up the good work. Love, Nana
