Aww...this is really sweet Ava Marie! I love that you drew one of your favorite animals, horses next to unicorns and tigers, and then crafted the image into a lovely loving message. You are a truly caring and beautiful person Ava Marie. Love, Papa

Ava Marie, This is an amazing sketch! You truly have captured the essence of New York City in a fun, wintry way. I love the snowman and winter hat and scarf on the Statue of Liberty. Really creative love! Love, Papa

Dear Ava Marie, These creations are amazing! I love the Mandalorian helmet and the fact that we now have placed it in the front of our SUV "Big Blue" along with your cute Grogo or Baby Yoda clay creation as well. Our family's interest in "The Mandalorian" and "The Book of Boba Fett" on Disney+ have been a wonderful shared experience that you are now reflecting in your beautiful and creative artwork! Keep creating little bear! Love, Papa

Hi Ava Marie! This is a really neat creation that reminds me of scenes from J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit or There and Back Again. I can just picture the little Hobbits or gnomes in another fantasy world sitting under your mushroom! Great work!

Ava Marie, I love that this is a memory of your learning to roller skate with your Christmas present in the large Bear Park playground. You are progressing so well and this is a wonderful drawing!

Ava Marie, This flower is simply beautiful! While real flowers are beautiful for a short time before they die, YOUR special flower will remain pretty and inspiring for much longer and will remain in our memories for many years. I love your use of color and the three dimensional aspects. Artwork that you can hold and actually decorate with are wonderful. Love, Papa

Wow! These are amazing Ava Marie! When we visited Stony Hill Farms, I saw some pumpkins like the one on the left in your artwork. The carved face does look happy but then again so are you! You have wonderful color and details Ava Marie. I look forward to choosing some pumpkins soon and then carving them closer to Halloween! Love, Papa

Dear Ava Marie, Your unique animal creation is incredible! I love the three-dimensional model of your "Tiger-ky" or tiger and monkey. It even stands on its own! You are an incredible artist sweetie with the ability to visualize your art and then create it for all to love. Mama and I are so proud of you!
