Dear Lane, What lovely colors and design work. It almost looks as though the colors are made from something with a sheen to it—like satin. The design is well balanced without looking rigid or contrived. It reminds me of a weaving. Quite beautiful. Nice work, Lane! You have a great amount of creative energy and skill, which is wonderful!

Dear Lane, This is beautiful. I especially love the contrast between the dark black lines and the purples. Your artwork continues to impress me. Love, Mom

The interplay of colors and shapes in this piece are wonderful. I like the use of shading gives this a three dimensional effect. I really enjoy looking at this— it’s very pleasing to the eye and the brain!

Dear Lane, The colors in your latest artwork are deep and rich and I really enjoy them. Your focus was on dessert, but this artwork also appears beautifully abstract to me. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, Your dad and I are very impressed with your latest piece of art. The level of detail in this intricate work of art is extraordinary. I like the colors you chose and all of the small lines you drew. Really well done! Love, Mom

Dear Lane, Great job on your latest piece of artwork. I see the images in the 3D and notice that they are a few of your favorite things. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, Wonderful job on your latest piece of art. I can imagine your focus while coloring each section so intricately. Well done. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, Your new mosaic artwork is stunning! You are a talented artist. The small pieces you created are meticulously arranged to create a realistic image of a tiger. This tiger looks strong and serious to me. Well done! Love, Mom

Dear Lane, Your latest piece of art is beautiful. I can tell that you spent a lot of time and effort on the variations of blue you used in the night sky. The brush strokes are very precise especially the layers of blues. Well done! Love, Mom

Dear Lane, I think this is a really beautiful and interesting painting. I love the moonlit sky. The movement and colors remind me of a van Gough painting. I silhouettes are a strong and I like the animals. I am very impressed with your skill and imagination! Love, Kathleen

Dear Lane, As always, I am impressed by both the precision and the beauty of your artwork. This self portrait is quite wonderful. I keep looking at it and am amazed at your skill. It's not just a good likeness, it appears to be an expression of both your inner and outer self. You are learning techniques, such as shading, and the use of complementary color, but you are also willing to show how you feel in your artwork. Don't ever lose that ability, as that is what makes art come alive! Thank you for sharing this portrayal of you! Love, Kathleen

Dear Lane, Your self-portrait is impressive! If I saw several in a row I would know this one was yours without seeing your name. I was intrigued when we talked about your artwork and how you told me it was a step by step process and there was a lot of attention given to the background behind your profile. I do see multiple dimensions and your profile really pops on the page. You did a really nice job and showed attention to detail. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, This is a vibrant and detailed piece of art. Georgia O'Keefe was one of my favorite artists when I was younger. Kathleen and I saw her art exhibit in San Francisco. I would love to see which artwork of O'Keefe's you zoomed in on to make this very intricate oil pastel. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, I like this piece of art and the symmetry. You are working on very unique pieces of art in class. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, You did a great job on your futuristic drawing. I can picture you working very hard on this piece during your art class, especially drawing all of the intricate lines. You are an excellent artist. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, I am very excited about this artwork. It has an otherworldly feel to it, almost like a surrealist’s work. But it also looks like a scene from the movie Metropolis, which is a silent movie about a futuristic city. It was made almost 100 years ago by German expressionist filmmaker Friz Lang.
I wonder if you looked at pictures of the movie Metropolis when you were thinking about futuristic cities? It seems both real and familiar and surreal and hauntingly alien at the same time. Your drawing shows both precision and creativity. I think this drawing is quite wonderful.

Dear Lane, I am very impressed by your most recent art work. I look forward to hearing more from you about how you created this. I think it accurately portrays a picture of you as someone who enjoys sports. Love, Mom

I love the colors! The green looks great with the magenta and blue. Like a stained glass window! Good choices. Kathleen

Dear Lane, I really like your Victor Vasarely Optical Illusions artwork. The sphere object looks 3D. We were just talking about 3D glasses at home. Really outstanding work in art class. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, I really like this piece of art you made. Specifically, I like the detail you made on the dinosaur's long neck and tail. You are a wonderful artist. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, I am fascinated by this artwork. The red sky and the precisely drawn dark buildings suggest that something ominous may be happening. Like some of Goya's paintings. But then the impressionistic reflection of the cityscape seems so beautiful and tranquil. It reminds me of Monet's water lilies. The precise image and the reflection image both evoke strong, but very different, feelings. Together they give me a lot to think about and enjoy!

Dear Lane, I love your city drawing. It reminds me of New York City which is a place you visited when you were a small baby. Maybe you remember it from that trip :) The way you can see the reflection of the skyscraper buildings in the water is really beautiful and symmetrical. I always look forward to seeing what you do in art class. Love, Mom

Dear Lane, I think this art work is very well done. I can see the emotion in the faces of the babies. Thank you for sharing this with us! Love, Mom

Dear Lane, I like this a lot. The colors and designs are appealing and the babies' faces seem full of emotion. It is striking artwork and could also be used in textile design. Thank you for sharing this! Kathleen

This is such an interesting painting. I am fascinated by the sense of motion of you created with the red paint and the static nature of the blue rectangle. Is the blue rectangle going to be sucked into the vortex of the red particles? Or is it standing strong against the vortex that is developing behind it? Thank you Lane, for creating such a complex and interesting Painting. It made me think about a lot of possible meanings and I would love to know what you were thinking or feeling when you painted it.

Well done, Lane! I love how the red marks look like they are moving away from the blue marks. Really nice job on this piece of art.
