Hi Declan! You and I have the same favorite color: BLUE. I learned very late in life that it is a primary color (or maybe I had just forgot that I knew this fact). Anyway, your eyes are a special blue, just like the sky up here in Vermont on a sunny day. Hope you are enjoying school. Don't forget to give your teachers a big hug for all they do and also your Mom and Dad. We love you.

Dear Declan: Once again you created a cool piece of art! I love the colors and wish I knew what you were seeing: boats; the sun; the ocean; a volcano? So many possibilities. That is what I find amazing about your drawings...they could be anything you might imagine. You're a gifted artist. Love always, Pop-Pop

Declan: You created a beautiful picture of Mt. Fuji and the lovely cherry blossoms are gorgeous. Did you know that the cherry trees at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. are a gift from Japan's Emperor? They are a beautiful site in the springtime. Hope you are enjoying school. Thank you for bringing a smile to my face through your glorious art. Love, Pop-Pop

Declan: Once again you've created as masterpiece! So many possible images from this lovely picture. That is what true "art" is! I'm seeing a sleeping blue dragon; eyes closed; resting near a source of warmth. The colors are simply beautiful. Makes me feel like I'm 'right there' feeling the warmth and seeing that dragon...thank heaven's he's asleep! Hope you are well and enjoying the winter break. Love, Pop-Pop

Declan, I love this winter landscape . The colors are incredible . FYI I ordered a print of it ! Keep up the great work .
- Auntie Cindy on February 7, 2024
Declan: Loved your "Winter Landscape" and the colors you chose are simply amazing. Could envision myself on the ski slope at night and watching the aurora borealis in the night sky. Your art work is truly priceless and surreal. Thank you for giving us this incredible image. Hope you are enjoying school and art class. Love always, PopPop
- Tom (PopPop) on February 7, 2024
Declan: Your drawing looks just like 'Sponge Bob.' I love it! Thank you for bringing a big smile to both me and Baba. Keep up the fantastic "work" in your school activities. As I've said before, you are destined to be a great painter someday! Love, Pop-pop
- Tom (Pop-Pop) on January 31, 2024
Declan: You did it again: created the most amazing picture! Your Uncle Patrick was in NYC this past weekend. You made such a colorful view of the 'city that never sleeps.' Keep up the great work. I'm really hoping you will continue to draw and paint and I know one day you will be famous! Until then we love seeing what you made in school. Remember to thank you teachers for their help also...they are 'the best!' Love, PopPop
- Tom (aka PopPop) on July 12, 2023
Declan you are 'the artist extraordinaire.' This creation of yours is just like impressionism. The more I look at it the more I am amazed by the shapes and colors. I'd love to know what was in your mind as you made it. The yellow figure in the upper right corner looks like a man standing on his head! Keep up the creative work. I'm still hoping you will become a famous artist some day...but for now you are already "famous" to us. Love, Poppop

This diorama you created, with the skilled guidance of your supportive teachers, is AMAZING! The colors and various depictions of zoo life are breath-taking. You clearly have artistic talent and I hope/pray that you will create future works of art as you progress in school. Thank you for sharing on Artsonia. Love, PopPop

A glorious picture to celebrate Chinese New Year: the year of the rabbit. The dragon and fireworks you created are simply incredible! Thank you for making such a beautiful picture to add to your art works. You are a wonderful artist. Love always. Pop-Pop
- Poppop on January 28, 2023
What a glorious picture you created, Declan. So many shades of blue surrounding the moon and the wise old owl on the tree searching for his dinner. As with all your art work, I loved everything depicted: the tree; the full moon and the moonlight; the dark night; and the owl always looking around. You have made another masterpiece. Keep up the great work and hope you are enjoying school and your wonderful teachers. Love you.
- Poppop on January 28, 2023
Declan, once again you have produced a beautiful piece of art. So many different shapes, sizes and colors. I love it, as I do all of your creations. I'm a bit unsure of the "Title" and would love to know it better. Hope to see you tomorrow. Love, PopPop
- PopPop on December 14, 2022
Wow, now that is a scary pumpkin or more correctly called a Jack O'Lantern. The colors you selected are perfect. Keep up the great art creations, Declan. You've got talent there! Baba and I love you!
- Poppop on October 26, 2022
Such a beautiful autumn picture, Declan. This is such a wonderful tree you created, with all the glorious colors of the fall season. Thank you for making me (and Baba) smile. Hope you are having a lovely day. Love to you.
- Pop Pop on October 5, 2022
Once again I am in awe of your creativity and artistry! The Chinese New Year, which started recently, is the Year of the Tiger. The picture which you and your teacher created shows a wonderful Chinese dragon with all the beautiful colors and then fireworks above it. Can you imaging how exciting it will be someday to witness that celebration! Your picture brings all the sounds, smells and visual imagery to life! Thank you for sharing this priceless picture.
- Tom on September 7, 2022
What a super cool picture, Declan! Is that you in the foreground, maybe on the moon, looking at planet earth? The blues are beautiful...just like your eyes. Thank you for creating another masterpiece! Give your teacher a big hug also for helping you with these art projects. Love always, Pop-pop
- Tom on September 7, 2022
Declan...my lovely grandson...your imagination is in full display with this beautiful piece of art entitled: "Hero." Did you know that Pablo Picasso, a famous artist, stated: "Every child is an artist...it took me a lifetime to paint like a child." Keep up the good work. I am hoping you will stay an artist throughout your life. We'll open a studio for you in New York City and what fun we'll have. Love, Pop-pop (Tom)
- Tom on September 7, 2022
Lovely colors Declan. Three primary colors plus three others! What a glorious color wheel. Someday I hope you will be wearing a painter's smock, holding your artist's palette and standing before a blank canvas ready to create a masterpiece the world will adore. Your teacher (Rachel) deserves a big hug for helping you find your creativity. With love, Tom (Pop-pop)
- Tom (Pop-pop) on September 7, 2022
Oh, now I see it too...a pumpkin at night! Amazing how you can see so many different things in this picture...leave it to your imagination and enter the wonderful world of Declan's mind...such a gift you have with these priceless pictures you've created with your teacher's loving guidance. Thank you for making me smile and my heart much lighter. Love, Tom (Pop-pop)
- Tom (Pop-Pop) on November 10, 2021
Oh boy, this one is super Declan! Looks like a big fish swimming in the sea with so many other living things: kelp, jellyfish, krill, and so much sea-life. The fun part of looking at your art is how you can see so many different things. Maybe you see something else here? I'll look forward to chatting with you about this soon! Thank you for sharing your art! Love, Tom (Pop-pop)
- Tom (Pop-Pop) on November 10, 2021
Declan: You are a true artist! The fall colors are brilliant. I see a tall boy (like you) with his arms outstretched and one leg bent up, as if you are running. The central orange makes me think of a pumpkin, squash, or just a big pile of leaves in your arms. Someday your art will be in a museum. So surreal. Love, Tom (Pop-pop)
- Tom (Pop-Pop) on November 10, 2021
Declan, my dear grandson, you have done it again! This picture is amazingly beautiful and should be considered a work of art! I truly hope you will continue to make such lovely scenes for all of us to enjoy. Your creations are masterpieces in my humble opinion. Maybe someday people will pay huge sums of money for your paintings...I have seen this happen. With love, Pop-pop
- Poppop on November 10, 2021
Once again I loved this art work which you created, Declan. The beautiful flowers with so many colors. Reminds me of spring and dandelions turning the world so colorful...just like a rainbow. Keep up the great job in school. Let your teachers (and you Mom and Dad) know how much you love them for all they are doing to help you learn and grow. With love, Pop-pop (Tom)
- Tom on April 14, 2021
I love your rainbow Declan, great planting!
- Baba on April 14, 2021
Ah! The baby chick coming out of its egg! Easter! Rebirth! Spring! Green leaves and grass! I love the feathers (such beautiful colors) you put on the baby's fledgling wings! Just like you Declan, this baby chick will grow into adulthood and may you both be blessed with happiness, love, and a worry-free life. Love, Tom
- Poppop on April 14, 2021
This is a very intriguing picture you made, Declan. Shows how primary colors can be mixed to form other colors! Great job. "Mouse Paint" indeed! Those cute faces and the whiskers really made me smile! Love you, Pop-pop
- Tom on April 14, 2021
Declan: I loved this artistic creation of yours. The earth, sun, star, other planets...simply glorious! Thank you for sharing your vision with us. Someday I am hoping you will be a famous artist. Love always, Pop-Pop
- Tom on April 14, 2021
Declan, I love the picture of the planets. Great job!
- Auntie Cindy on April 14, 2021
Love your Picasso Declan! I really like the colors green and orange??
- Baba on March 17, 2021
Love this winter landscape picture especially the tree and the colors in the background. What is next to the tree?
- Auntie Cindy on February 3, 2021
Declan, my lovely grandson, your art is among the masterpieces ever created! So what do I see in this picture of your's: a mountain chain with a white cloud in the background; tracks on the left showing someone or something came and possibly went away; and you (the steadfast pine tree) by yourself but more colorful than anything else! Thank you for sharing what your mind's eye sees. Love, Pop-pop.
- Poppop on February 3, 2021
Very creative !!!! Please keep sharing. I love seeing what you do at school.
- Auntie Cindy on January 13, 2021
Declan Thomas your new artwork is very interesting and clever. We’re looking forward to the mailman delivery so we can add it to our special artwork door. Keep the art coming. We love your work!!! Love, Gigi and Papa
- Gigi on January 11, 2021
I loved your rendition of a cat in the mitten! You are a great surrealist! The mitten looks like an owl to me; the cat is sitting on a green object that looks like a boat; and the picture reminds me of the wonderful poem by Edward Lear called: "The Owl and the Pussy-Cat." I'm sure you have heard it? Love you. Pop-Pop.
- Pop-Pop on January 12, 2021
Great kitten mitten, is that Rikki? She loves having you draw her picture!
- Baba on January 12, 2021
Declan is a modern-day Picasso! His art shows incredible vision and depth. I have the greatest of expectations for his future creations. Love, Pop-pop
- Poppop(fan) on January 6, 2021
Declan I love your new artwork. Your pictures are hanging on my art door. They all make me think of you and that makes me smile.
- Gigi on November 18, 2020
Mat man looks wonderful, I really like his big green eyes!
- Baba on November 11, 2020
Declan you made an awesome spider!! I love the patterns you chose for the legs and your coloring on the body. You drew a cool web too. Thanks for sharing.
