Fabulous rendition of Arches! I love the sky and the gradation of the landscape. You use perspective really well. Love you and proud of you, Your Tata Erika

Lilah, you’ve definitely captured an essence of Tessa in this art, a facial expression that’s so ‘Tessa’. An impish amusement in the face. Your choice of colors highlights the fun. And I can feel the strong sister bond and the love between you. It’s a gift to be able to express yourself and share your feelings in your art—and in your music! Such a warm piece, I love it!

Lilah- You have no idea how you affect me. I think we are all lucky to have you and your sweet sister in our lives. I am so impressed with your communicative abilities. You are way beyond your years and you should keep on developing your talents. I love this drawing of Tessa. I agree with you that Tessa is also a delight to be around and is also very talented. Keep up the good work. Love you Both!!!

Lilah - Wow. This is so heart-felt. You capture Tessa's artistic expression so beautifully. It's incredibly touching to read your articulate and deep feelings for Tessa. You're so lucky to have each other. I'm sure she feels the same way about you. I'm so proud of your artwork, your writing skills, your many talents and qualities, and for how truly sensitive and loving you are. It's truly a privilege to know you. I love both you and Tessa to the moon and back! :)

Very interesting, Lilah. I like your work. Pa Jack

Really cool! Green tomatoes. Did you actually look through the microscope as a basis? Isn't it amazing how nature creates art just by simply going about its existence?

Lilah, wait--- I really like this piece, but I can't quite figure out what the medium is. It looks lifelike, almost like a photo... If you drew/painted it while looking through a microscope? Well done, it really looks like cells to me!

This is a fabulous rendition of cells, Lilah! And I’m surprised that tomato skin cells are being depicted as green and purple. Stretches the imagination. And I love the way they’re all differently shaped and sized. It is so inspiring to see complex forms and beautiful shapes coming directly from nature. Well done!

This is a great one, Lilah! Love it ! I find it to be full of transformational energy and fun, whimsical. So proud of your creativity!

Re: one point perspective #125187212. Lilah You really nailed down this assignment. I like perspective in drawings and I liked how you added the cozy details. well thought out and executed. Stay with it. Pa Jack

Lilah, I really like this piece! What great colors you've chosen! And I like the flow and movement of the composition. A river of green --- my eye moves with the flow. The fine detail in black ink must have challenging. Well done!

Wow Lilah - great work! Your color wheel of candles is beautiful! And your description is full of meaning. As you probably know, the autumn equinox is this coming Sunday. Candles become more cozy and a warm source of light and hope in the darker times of the year. Candles can also act as light-filled reminders of those we love.

Dear Lilah, I like your colorful candles shining brightly in the blackness--with some defying the laws of physics as their flame burns straight and strong--even upside down! The candles bring light and happiness to my heart and spirit. xoxo

I like how cheerful it is in the dark. I also like your description. Candles shine as bright as your heart - Maman

That's really very cool. We used to take photo sensitive paper and put objets like grass, leaves, twigs, etc on it and expose it to the light. A design would appear on the paper, but it was very flat. Yours has depth. Good work. Pa Jack

Lilah, I'd never heard of cyanotypes--very interesting. The process is similar to photography, isn't it? I'd be interested to hear more about how you did this piece. What do you think of it?? How did you chose what objects to use? Thank you for posting!

Very cool! A photograph... made without a camera. Neato

Lilah this is fabulous - it reminds me of a dreamland, both in the mountains and also under the sea. Beautiful use of color and shading! Beautiful work!

Great work, Lilah! I love the warm homey touches and the beanbag chair in the front! Your drawing makes me want to be in that room - it's so inviting. And of course the kitty is adorable. I'm proud of you!

Wow, Lilah, this is excellent! The perspective is well done, and it must have been challenging to get it right. The shading adds depth. The splashes of green in the plants unify your composition. And of course, you know that I love the kitty!

I love it! Very cozy and excellent perspective work. The cat seems happy to have found the high ground. I love all the details too - the bookshelf, the plants, the shelf above the bed.

Love it! That's my Lilah bear. I would know it was you on a wall of a thousand portraits. Brimming with spirit and light. Just like you.

Lilah, I see great things in your future. Move over Picasso, Mozart, Misty Copland, Neil Degrasse Tyson and J.R.Tolkien. her comes Lilah Hayflick.

Beautiful and captivating portrait, Lilah! Congratulations! I'm proud of you for following your dreams and passions. Keep on shining!

Lilah, I love this painting! It is so 'you'! Your eyes are open wide to take in the world. I'm happy that you have passions in your life for ballet and music, reading and art---and more!

So cool! Nice Sharpie work. Lines are at the heart of drawing, and are so powerful. These are good lines. Also the stark contrast makes an impact, especially when coupled with such intricate patterns and fine shapes. Also: is the artist looking at her hand while travelling in an alternate dimension, and this is what she sees? I know this is a far fetched interpretration, but that's what is cool about art: it provokes wonder and dreams, and the viewer is ultimately able to generate their own sort of art in their imagination, keyed off what the artist provided. Love it.

Lilah, this is a lovely piece! Pen and ink? It’s so detailed and intricate, it must’ve taken quite a while. I like the way the movement of the piece reaches upward. You also express the deep connection between human beings and the natural world.

This is just fabulous. I love it, Lilah. Gives me a feeling both of energy and calm at once. Many people are drawn to patterns, because they are predictable and give a sense of calm. Yet at the same time, changes in patterns can excite and delight. You did both! Beautiful work! Love, Tata Erika

Ma puce, I remember that hike well. And your painting accompanied by your words as descriptive as a brush, paint such a wonderful picture. It is a challenging hike, and that first time you had to meet the unknown, not knowing you'd be able to finish, uncertain of your own strength and determination. And you did it, with such grace and ease. I cherish this hike and all the time we have climbed Ajax together. A wonderful journey, where we meet our own limits and with gentle strength and unwavering determination we discover our strength. Doing it together is such a wonderful gift. This is indeed a very special painting.

This is a wonderful memory and minds eye view of what you experienced. Your depiction and description of the scene brings tears to my eyes. I remember this scene too, but I think I drove the Jeep up to the top. (that was a cop out - I know). Keep up the good work.

What sweet memories of happy times outdoors in Nature! And a feeling of accomplishment for finishing your journey. Your description and words make the painting feel more expressive and personal. Looking forward to your next artworks!

Lilah, this is truly beautiful! The bend in the trail makes me wonder what’s beyond. The Aspens are magical, aren’t they? I see many seasons in this painting. Lovely work!

I love this, Lilah! Not only the beautiful scene you've painted, but also the evocative and graceful language with which you describe it. Well done.

Lovely, calm, peaceful floating bubbles. And I love the color combination! Looking forward to your next artwork!!

Lilah - this is fabulous. The colors of purple and yellow are beautiful together! You can feel how three-dimensional this is. Great work! Sending love to you!

Love the purple "grapes". They are very cool!

I love this!! I can feel the balls floating in the air. I love the color scheme, the shading and the smoothness

Bubbles! The shading makes it clear that these are spheres, not flat circles...well done! And I love the colors.

Very cute bubbles!!! Looks like he is blowing a bubble.

I got the mug and my coffee tastes better already!!

Lilah- love the use of color and the use of perspective here! The bubbles look three-dimensional! Great work!

Is this, perchance, inspired at least in part by BOBA?

I love this work! So imaginative and whimsical! Makes me dream of multi colored bubbles!!!! ??????

I love you morning street scene. Very creative and inspiring. I am ordering a coffee cup to remind me of you.

I feel like this one could be in The New Yorker. J'adore!!!

Salut Lilah - This is just wonderful! WOW! I love the perspective and the angles of this drawing - I love the balconies with the trees too. Great drawing! It feels like I'm in the heart of Paris when I look at this. Well done! Sending much love, Tata Erika

I love this piece -- the colors, the movement. It feels alive. It's a happy piece. You clearly show the three-dimensionality of the forms. Well done?? What's the medium?

I love this! I feel like I see them moving.

Very clever and a moving experience. I really like this. Does not look flat or still. I think the best one to show this to is your favorite Gi doctor. Very cool art work. Keep up your imagination.

This is awesome! Cool idea, nice execution on the shading. And I like the whimsical artist's statement. Personally, I think slug tube #3 leads directly to... a Trader Joe's. In Slugville. But that's just me.

Lilah - oh wow - this is AMAZING!!!! I love your use of color! It’s organic and so creative. And I also love your artist statement ! Well done ! Sending love, Your Tata Erika

So creative and interesting, Lilah. I like your illustration for Balance. Makes me smile. You've written something for the 'c' and 'e' --- what are they saying?? Looking forward to your next piece.

Great way to express a concept visually. I like your pattern- working on two levels, pretty cool. Maman

I love the colors on this one and how you are able to express the concepts visually.

Love this Lilah! Really well done!! So proud of you!

Great work on the trifold, Lilah! Very creative!!!

Lilah, you've succeeded in illustrating some knotty concepts and principles with this exercise. Well done!

That's really great Lilah. You are very creative in so many ways. Very cleaver depiction of VALUE. You are a lucky girl to have these creative opportunities at your new school. Keep it up!!! Grand Pa Jack

Nicely done, Lilah! Interesting to think about art (drawing and painting) using these concepts. I'm intrigued by your clever representation of 'value'.

This is fantastic - I love the way you did the SHAPE element - so creative!

Nice, Lilah! I also like VALUE with the progressively lighter gradation.
