Does this character have a name? You did a nice job using Tim Burton's style of large eyes. Is that a little smile, I see?

This owl looks very wise! The beautiful colors and designs will keep him camouflaged as he flies silently through the night searching for food. If you hoot, maybe he will answer you!

I see some favorite team colors in your owl and very creative designs in the feathers. I love the blue eyes! Hoot and see if he will answer you.

You created a beautiful, colorful, and very detailed gnome home! I look forward to seeing it hanging in your house soon.

This monster reminds me of the wild things in the story of Max. Huge eyes, sharp teeth, and a gigantic mouth with a tongue to match! Ooooh! I would not want to meet this monster anywhere.

This is an interesting project. I learned about positive and negative space from reading about it. Well done!

You did a great job drawing your bulging heart so that it seems to curve out from the background. I like your pattern of yellow and blue in the checks and stripes. They could represent the sun and sky or Michigan University. Well done!

Your anything-but-gumballs machine shows one of your many interests - football. (Unless those are really baked potatoes:) It would be fun to have this machine at your house, so anyone who comes to play football could have one for only $1.00! Another great piece of artwork!

What a great giraffe! The vibrant colors, the patterns, and his expressive face are delightful. Aunt Cindy would love this. I wish we could feed him and see his very long tongue.

Your dino painted in the style of Basquiat is very interesting. I noticed the crown on his head and his sharp teeth. Is he a t-rex? The words you chose, create and smart, describe you! This is a good example of your strengths.

This is a beautiful picture! It so peaceful. I love the deep blue sky and the trees. A peaceful snowy evening. Love, Grandma Laurie

Just looking at the snow in your painting makes me shiver! I love the snowman and the details in the tree trunks and shadows. Pointillism looks like it requires patience and persistence. Way to stick with it, Tate!

Your colorful cactus has such interesting shapes, textures, and designs. I love all the beautiful plants that grow in this world. The ability of a cactus to thrive with very little water and in extreme temperatures is amazing! Your cactus is a great example. Well done!

Gobble, gobble, gobble! Your turkey reminds me of all the things we enjoy - family, friends, home, food, freedom, and faith. I love the background and hope you will tell me how you did that. Happy Thanksgiving!

Great use of bold black lines and bright colors! So many details in this picture of a parrot. Well done, Tate!

Your ghost is pretty scary-looking! He must be pretty nice though, since he's a fan of Michigan and the Vikings. Maybe if you share some Halloween candy with him, he will be your friend.

I'm glad you introduced me to the art of Yayoi Kusama. Your paper pumpkin sculpture is very good. It will be a nice fall decoration for your house!

This looks like a 3D architectural model. I love the contrasting colors, curves, and horizontal and vertical lines. Very creative!

That is a very squiggly, wiggly monster! It might not be scary but it would definitely be impossible to catch. I imagine it could change shape quickly and get out of any trap. Nice job, Tate!

Tate, I love this piece of art! Your color choices are so bright, warm and dazzling! The design is amazing. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see your next piece??. Love, Grandma Laurie

Sunflowers are an example of God's amazing design. They turn to face the sun all through the day. Yours are beautiful and colorful. Well done!

Monarch butterflies are so beautiful! I'm sure yours is visiting every one of the flowers in your garden. The change from a caterpillar to a chrysalis to a butterfly is one of God's amazing miracles. I look forward to seeing butterflies in our gardens soon.

What a great project for King Tate! I hope to see you wearing this royal crown. I am sure you are a benevolent ruler (which means you care for others and are always kind).

What a great idea! The alphabet is hidden among a variety of colors and designs to make a masterpiece. I want to try this myself. I see the first page of an alphabet book in the corner. A is for Apple. Nice work, Tate.

What beautiful fish and each one is different! I think my favorite is the bright yellow starfish, but each one is special. It reminds me that every person is uniquely designed by God and is loved by Him. I am so glad God made you!

What a handsome little snail! He could hide in the plants and grass or in the shadows. I wonder if we could find one in Florida. Slow and steady. He gets where he wants to go. Nice work!

Dear Tate, Your grumpy monkey brings a smile to grandma! I love it! Why is the monkey so grumpy? You have so much artistic talent. I will smile all day thinking about your grumpy monkey??. Love, Grandma Laurie

Everyone feels grumpy sometimes! Why is your monkey so grumpy? He looks so angry. I hope he feels better soon.

I love your choice of blue and purple. What a great use of yarn, cut shapes, markers and watercolors! It is very restful.

You have drawn a lovely variety of skin tones in your rainbow. The sun, stars, and butterfly add interest to your picture. Well done!

Dear Tate, I love your beautiful colors! It reminds me of Spring!!! Hope your day is full of happiness and beautiful colors!??. Love, Grandma Laurie

I like your choice of colors. You are learning so many ways to make art! Keep up the good work.

Tate, I love your penguin! I wonder what it is thinking? I bet it is thinking many happy thoughts for the new year. You are an amazing artist! Love, Grandma Laurie

What a nice little penguin waddling in to say, "Hello!" I'm sure he likes the colors and designs you added to his cold, snowy, white world. I wish I could hug him!

A snowman in the style of Picasso! Great job, Tate. Your vertical and horizontal lines remind me of your plaid shirt, which is one of my favorites. I love how the white snowman and other shapes are hidden but visible behind all of the colors. Another work of art for us to enjoy.

I love this picture of a tall, strong evergreen tree. It is not worried about all the snow even when it weighs down its branches. The colors and textures make such a beautiful picture.

What a beautiful variety of colorful feathers on this handsome turkey! He looks good enough to eat on Thanksgiving, but I hope he is free to hunt in the woods for his own feast. I am thankful for you, Tate!

It looks like your dinosaur loves swimming as much as you do! His fish friends look happy, too. Their underwater home must be wonderful with blue sky and sunshine above and green plants below.

I LOVE hot air balloons and yours is outstanding! I want to know how you made the textures. It looks like you used every color you could find. Wouldn't it be amazing to float up in one of these?

Tate! Wow! I love your colorful owl!?? It is the most colorful owl I have ever seen. Keep creating! Love, Grandma Laurie

What a colorful owl! If you say "Hoo, hoo," will he answer you?

Hello Tate! I love all the different designs in this piece of art. I love your use of the color blue! The next time, I see you, you will need to tell me about this exciting piece of art. Keep on being your exciting, creative self??. Love, Grandma Laurie

Dear Tate, I love all the bright colors! Would you describe it as a painted turtle? Your colorful turtle looks so happy! It makes me happy just like you do??. Love, Grandma Laurie

Tate, I love your trio of pumpkins. Each shape and pattern of white dots is unique. They remind me of you, Jordyn and Kyler. The variety of triangles in the background adds interest and depth. Very nice!

What a happy little turtle! I think he is proud of his bright colorful shell with all the interesting designs on it. You are an amazing creator, Tate!

Dearest Tate, I love your colorful, precious hands. They look like hands that like fun and are very creative and loving. I am enjoying your art. Love, Grandma Laurie

You are creating some amazing works of art, Tate! Your hands look happy with all those designs and colors. I know you also have a happy face and a busy mind. You are learning new things every day!

What a beautiful pattern in shades of green, your favorite color! It reminds me of a garden path that I could follow, then sit in the middle and enjoy the quiet.

Tate, I love the bright colors you used on you insect. You are so creative and a wonderful artist. I have enjoyed your artwork through this school year. Tate, always use your imagination and continue to creat new works! Love, Grandma

Your crocodile said, "Yum!" What did he eat? It looks like he's hiding in the tall grass. If I saw him, I would say, "After while crocodile" and run away!

Good Morning Tate??. Your person looks like they could be a Vikings football player. Love all that purple. Your creativity and artwork bring me so much joy??! GO VIKINGS!!!

I'm afraid I don't recognize the cat on the cover of this book. I love how much you are reading and how your artwork is always colorful and creative. Your personal art gallery keeps growing, just like you!

Love your colorful snail! Your snail reminds me that Spring is coming and that Grandpa will soon be digging in the soil where he will plant beautiful flowers and he might see a snail.

What a cute snail! I love how your name goes around and around his shell. I wonder if you will see a snail in Florida. The snail looks proud, and you can be proud of your artwork.

Oh, Tate, what a beautiful unicorn! I'll bet Jordyn likes it. You used so many colors. This is another masterpiece!

What a beautiful picture of a winter wonderland! Snow on the ground, bare tree branches, and a rainbow-colored sky. I can imagine a snowman or two hiding in the shadows.

What a cute zebra! "Daddy, Daddy, do you see? There's a horse in striped pajamas." "No, that's not what it is at all. That's an animal people call a zebra." "I see, but it still looks like a horse in striped pajamas, to me!" I love the rainbow, sunshine, fluffy clouds, and the person looking at the zebra.

Ooh! That's a good looking monster with big red eyes and sharp teeth. Another masterpiece!

What a delightfully happy garden gnome! I would enjoy seeing it in my flower garden, especially since it was made by you, Tate.
