Hi, Colton, Want to know something funny? PapaZ and I had the same thought. I thought it looked like a big eye also. LOL Was this weaving fun to do? Did you get to choose your colors? It's pretty!

Looks like a big eyeball with stitches in it.

Interesting picture, Mr. C. Well, Colton, I knew absolutely nothing about Sugar Skulls, so guess what I did ... yep, I did some research and I learned a lot. I learned about the Mexican religious holiday "Day of the Dead," which is celebrated on November 2. I learned you can draw sugar skulls on paper like you did, make one out of clay or sugar, or make a face painting. If you make it out of real sugar, you can even eat it! You can make sugar skulls black and white like you did, or make it very colorful. You can decorate it with with candy, flowers, yarn, sequins, glitter, or anything else you like. You can hang them in windows or put them on graves. If you want to learn more about sugar skulls, we can research together. Maybe we should make one we can actually eat. :-)

Ahhhhh, there you are ... my favorite 8-year old grandson! Hold on tight, Colton, I'm coming to give you a big push!!

Hey, Colton, Nice picture! That reminds me ... Did your Dad ever tell you he used to play a trumpet in the school band? So did your Uncle Keith. He joined the Drum and Bugle Corps and even went to Europe with the Corps to play when he was a teenager! Aunt Kimmi played the clarinet. Well, I actually also used to be in the school band when I was a kid. I played the clarinet and bass clarinet in the concert band, and I got to clang the cymbals together in the marching band! That was fun! When I went to college, I learned to play the ukulele and the piano. Have you thought about what instrument you might like to play? There are lots of choices!

Hi, Colton. Nice ceramic owl here. I like all the textures you put in the clay. It would be fun to run my fingers over it. What are you going to put in it? I think this owl could be used to hold rings and things when you wash the dishes. Or can you hang it up somewhere with the pretty beads? Well, maybe this is a bracelet. I guess you need to tell me what you plan to do with your cute owl. I'm sure you have a good idea or two. Nice work!

Hi, Colon! This is an interesting design of straight lines and curls. I noticed that you used the same vivid, pretty colors on both sides of your design. That made this piece of art pleasing to my eyes. Thank you for sharing your lovely artwork with me! I'm always anxious to see your next work of art. Keep 'em coming!

Greetings to my favorite artist,Colton Zuehlke! This is sure an interesting picture! You have a lot of details in this picture. Are these all different buildings in a Silly City? Your "characters" all have different facial features. You have learned how to draw many different eyes and noses, My favorite is the red, white and blue one. Do you have a favorite?

Hwy, Colton! I see you driving that big semi! I waved back at you when you drove past me!. I love the cloud above the ship. That's a really cool way to draw a cloud! Thank you for drawing such great pictures and sharing them with me! We love you. Keep up the nice work.

Hi, Colton! This is an interesting design of a rainbow. I think this might be called "Thinking outside of the box." I'll be watching the sky next time it rains. Do you think we will see this rainbow? Maybe we can just imagine ...

Birch trees, right? This is a very nice picture, Colton. I love the white bark on birch trees. Did you know we used to have a birch tree in the back yard? I wish it was still there. Guess what ... I have a little canoe made out of birch bark. I'll show it to you when you come over. Some Native American tribes used to make canoes out of birch bark and animal skins. Shall we do a little research about that?

Hi, Colton! Nice colorful painting of fall leaves, kiddo! I can picture them (in my head) falling off the trees on a windy day, all the way down to the ground. Hey, do you suppose that is why the season is named "fall"? Hmmm, I never thought about that before ...

Hi, Colton! Oh, my goodness! These flowers are absolutely gorgeous! I totally love this picture! Is this a picture of my favorite hibiscus flowers? I think I might need to order this for my fridge! Or my sun-room! Would you please help me decide where we should put it? Thank you for making such a fabulous flower painting!

Colton this is my new favorite painting! Great job on the colors and leafs!!! Keep up the good work!

Hello, to our favorite artist, Colton Zuehlke! This is an interesting picture! It must be about Wild Things. Aunt Kimmi thinks it is a turtle standing up. PapaZ thinks it is a keyhole. Me, well, I think it is a picture of Jonah in the belly of the whale. Please help us figure this out. Would you please explain it to all of us? Thank you, Colton! :-)

What a great picture! So much detail to the semi and ship!!

You put so much detail in this picture. I had no idea you were such a good artist, Colton! The undersea world is fascinating, isn't it! You're going to have to tell me all about all these sea creatures!

Wow! Very creative depiction of rainbows! Did this take you a long time to make? I love your rainbow!

What a colorful sea horse! It is gorgeous! Let's play our game again: What facts did you learn about sea horses that you don't think I already know?

You made a very nice bowl, Colton. What are you going to put in it?

Beautiful work, Colton. Very colorful, very pretty! I bet it took a long time to cut all those little pieces, and even longer to glue them on. Am I right? Keep working hard in art class, and keep learning how to draw, paint and make pretty pictures. XXX OOO

Oh, my goodness! I didn't think you could make a better snowman picture than the last one you did, but then I saw these 2 gorgeous snowmen! I bet they are smiling cause it is snowing! Wow, Colton! You keep getting better and better! xxx ooo

Colton I love your snowman! He has lots of detail and is very colorful! Well done!

Colton, you "built" a very impressive snowman. Coal for eyes, a carrot for the nose, buttons on his belly, and a perfect blue and green plaid hat and scarf! Oh, and sticks for arms, of course! I can see all the snow still coming down, and swirling all around him. Or her. LOL Nice snowman! Thank you for sharing your art with us!

Oh, Colton! You are a fabulous artist! I love this flower painting! The colors are gorgeous! Beautiful work! Guess what...PapaZ would like to join your Fan Club so he can see your beautiful pictures too! Would you please send him an invitation to join? Thank You!

Hi, Colton! What a cute pumpkin you made! It kind of looks like you with a loose tooth! hahaha This 'silly pumpkin' picture would fit just perfectly on my refrigerator! Please keep making beautiful artwork! XXX OOO

Hi, Colton! I love your Color Birds artwork! Those are six mighty cute birds. You drew them from 6 different angles. Wow! I don't think I could do that! Nice painting job! Keep up the good work. XXX OOO

Hey, Colton! We love your 2 pictures for Goods and Services! Good choice of pictures. Your semi is awesome, and your crane is amazing! Which one are you going to drive? PapaZ thinks you should draw a backhoe next. :-)
