Is this the critter carrying the timetable for the graduation ceremony?
-- Bryce

so cute!!!
-- Amanda

Great job! Your emerging talent is becoming more and more evident. Did you know that each side of your (or anybody's) face is different. Try this - take picture of yourself and make a mirror image of it. Cut the two pictures in half, dividing your face in half. Put the left halves of your face together and do the same with the right halves. a comparison of the two composites may look like two different people. Of course, no matter how you arrange the pieces, you are still a pretty lady!
-- Bryce

mckayla this is so incredible!!! and i love your pottery pieces also! so talented, love ya!
-- Aunt Amanda

Wow! Painted, glazed and fired. Nice job! I used to enjoy ceramics myself. Once made 5 identical coffee cups for my crew with names and crew number. It was fun and challenging and everyone liked them. Someone like you can get REALLY creative with a bit of practice!
-- Bryce

Hi Mckayla, I was glad to see the clay work in pottery You did a nice job. I also like the color. Brought back memories of my art classes. Keep up the great work in school. Opa
-- Otto

Love it! Beautiful work!
-- Tracy

Love the color! GReat job!
-- AUnt Tammy

This must be a self portrait.... you are a beautiful flower with a long stem and skinny legs. Having said that I will Leaf it alone now
-- Scott

I like the color conglomeration chosen...(do you like my alliteration there?). I have yo sY that this looks similar to what my bro used to almost take out my eye!!! So i couldn't look too long. This world today is going to pot ( in more ways than one evidently)
-- Scott

What's the poirpose of this sculpture? Looks great. Captures action, effort and playfulness of these amazing creatures. You always seem to spot them when we are on cruises too...btw
-- Scott

I think a few more pieces of black tape could've prevented this house (?) from being condemned. But the contrast in colors is bold....kudos to decorator!
-- Scott

Not sure what to make of this so I think i'll stay NEUTRAL. That vase looks like a real ICBM!!! Did u make that too?
-- Scott

So cute McKayla!! I love it!
-- Aunt Tammy

"looks nice, especially the color combination red & green" opa "nice strawberry" grand ma
-- opa

Love this strawberry piece of art! It's beautiful!
-- Tracy

A very convincing strawberry. Kind of sad though, almost like she's reading a strawberry shortcake recipe that calls for sliced fruit.??
-- Bryce

Hi, Nice color combo and pattern. Always love your work. grandma & opa
-- Opa

Nice work. I like the fact that the support system is attached all around. I also think it unique for a birdhous not to have walls or floor. Reminds me of relative freedom and how it covers and provides measure of protection when we don't go over our heads. At the same time you are free to express yourself and journey....or just stay perched knowing you've got potential.
-- Scott

At first glance this looks like pictures of parts of our universe I've seen. There are galaxies, nebulas, constellations, black holes, probably even a planet or two. Not sure if that's what you were going for but it inspired me to contemplate my existence. Our place in all of this really matters after all.... Or should i say anti-matters?
-- Scott

Love the art work. Looks like a fun day. "Time sure flies when your having fun!"
-- opa

Interesting. As I take a second and third look at this I see the three facial angles and expressions. I think this well pictures that at times it is hard to focus, concentrate or zero in on something when there are many distractions around, or many aspects to be considered- like emotions or the effect your decision will have on others
-- Scott

This reminds me of a pie chart Mckayla. A pie chart of different paths you choose in life and the reasons why. For example the brick road pattern represents logical determination and the large paisley designs remind me of the whimsical choice made on the basis of sentiment.
-- Scott

Hi there, nice portrait. Grandma said, It looks like herself in the morning, Not knowing which way to go.LOL Love opa
-- otto

hi. nice looking portrait. grand ma said it looks like herself in morning. not knowing which way to go. LOL!
-- Otto

Playing Picasso again, I see! Hope that's not a self-portrait because I would never believe you were "two-faced". ??
-- Bryce

Nice contrast! But I must assure you, you are a LOT better - looking than That! ????
-- Bryce

Hey, pretty girl - got a couple of suggested titles for you. How about "FREE- FORM FEVER" or "PRACTICIN' PICASSO" ???
-- Bryce

Very good, McKayla - that's what I call a real SPLIT PERSONALITY!
-- Bryce

Wow! Not sure what to say, interesting! Looks like what we saw on GCT field trip!

very nice!!!! 2point perspective drawing was my favorite look forward to a room drawing or city street.. keep up the good work
-- opa

What a pretty piece of pottery. Someone is really going to enjoy that Mug!!
-- Aunt Tammy

lLove your exquisite design Working with clay was always my favorite art project. Heep up the great work.
-- opa

love your exquisite design. Working with clay was my favorite art project. Keep up the great work
-- Otto

Love it. Great work MG
-- Billy

This is beautiful. Great work McKayla.
-- Billy

Love this art!

I love this McKayla, you know I love birds!!
-- Aunt tammy

Love this! Looks very modern
-- tracy

We'll have to talk....Not sure what the inspiration or theme was for this but it certainly is expressively eclectic for sure. I think of a slide show taken from the recesses of your mind picked out by your inner child. We'll have to talk.......
-- Scott

Wow! this is pretty spatial McKayla. Not only is it a cool symmetrical, kaleidoscopal design but is that your initials I see incorporated in there? Great idea! Each letter get flipped on both the X and Y axes.
-- Scott

McKayla: Upon first glance I saw the letters READ as buildings, skyscrapers and the scattered books as windows. This is appropriate because reading is like the windows to the world, like going somewhere, experiencing something without actually being there. And it not only is part of the foundation that our well rounded lives are built on but reading can also contribute to the structure itself. I would use your bookmark any day!
-- Scott

I LIKE THE MESSAGE YOUR PICTURE GIVES TO ALL THAT SEE IT. ALSO LIKE THE CHOOSES OF COLORS YOU USED. NICE JOB, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
-- OPA/ GRAMMY

just love the tree of life picture. The tree is drawn very well and you will have many years of life ahead. Use them wisely. Love you, Opa & Grammy
-- OPA

LOVE THIS! YOU ARE SO GOOD AT BEING CREATIVE....
-- mom

Very cool, great colors! You are very talented. Love, Mammy
-- Aunt Tammy

HI SWEETIE, LOVE THE COLOR CHOICE AND THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE GREEN AND THE BACKGROUND COLOR. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. LOVE YOU
-- OPA

Hi sweetie. I LOVE YOUR BLACK/WHITE P[CTURE. IT WAS PROBLEMLY SOMETHING NEW AND FUN, JUST SO YOU KNEW YOUR GREAT GRAND FATHER WORKED WITH B/W ART WORK ALSO I WILL SHOW YOU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
-- OPA

Interesting combo. Looks like horse's body with giraffe markings, dragonfly wings and head of a large flightless bird (like emu or ostrich). I'm going for emu because you know my thing about ostriches and so I'm sure you wouldn't draw an ostrich for me to look at.
-- scott

Very cool McKayla! It reminds me of paint swatches! HINT! HINT!
-- Aunt Tammy

rainbow
-- tracy

Hue did a nice job McKayla. I guess it was hard to stay within the lines huh? This project reminds me of a saying that goes "Its the same thing only different!". For example, it's still yellow just with a little of this added to it (and they give it a new color name).
-- Scott

Hi Sweetie, What a nice picture of the flowers coming in the garden. Keep up the good work. Love Opa
-- otto

Soooo pretty Mckayla! love it!
-- Tammy

Not sure what to say about this one- its out of control. I have to admit the first thing I thought of was the circulatory system of the Cat in the Hat after eating green eggs and ham! Is that weird? Dad
-- scott

Very colorful and uplifting. It makes me feel happy and desirous to be outside!! A veritable botanical buffet for the butterfly too.. Dad
-- Scott

McKayla, THis is so nice to see so much love in this picture Keep up the good work Love you, OPA and Grammy
-- Otto

Thank you for helping us to think of Springtime McKayla. I can see the flowers growing in a vase filled with colorful marbles but I also imagine flowers and candy..like colorful gumdrops. We can have many senses filled- admiring and smelling the beauty and aroma of the flowers and tasting the sweetness of the candy. It reminds me that the simple things in life are most important.
-- Scott

Thank you for showing your family how much you love them...that's special! This one is a real thinker for me. It shows that love can come from all different angles, patterns, designs...whatever it needs to be. My favorite is the last one, the four hearts in a circle. When love comes around it should go around to be meaningful. Nice job.
-- Scott

This is definitely a special rare snake because it looks like it has two tongues. This may mean that it is really sensitive to temperature changes! The designs on the borders give it a real southwestern flair!!
-- Scott

Great design and color choices!
-- BB

Beautiful rendition! Here are my Impressions: #1- a heart cake (love is sweet), #2- a broken or divided heart (something ALL Christians want to avoid), #3- a confused heart (perhaps bad association is pointing him/her in the wrong direction), #4- a heart of stone (not so easy to penetrate but WILL melt if enough warmth is applied), #5- a heart guarded by integrity and finally #6- reminds me of the wonderful love among our brotherhood (especially our family). WELL DONE!
-- Bryce

nice going on this picture Mckayla. Just loved the colors you picked and he native symbols always ajoy to see you working so hard love you opa
-- otto

every picture gets more creative love your ideas
-- opa otto

That is one COOL owl. It looks like night time so he's getting ready to eat- looks like he has his bib on already!
-- Bryce

Could we call this one a "blue-tailed greenhead"?
-- Bryce

I like this snake! I love the artist!!
-- mom

McKayla - You are having such an amazing year! You abilities are growing so much, and you are such an enthusiastic student!! I love this owl that you have made. He looks wise and simple and he just feels like he belongs there. He overpowers the sky! I hope you enjoyed making him and I hope you realize how much pleasure people will get from looking at him. Great work! Love, Mrs. Ric
-- Kathy

Cool Mykayla! I think you should call this one Kites In The Wind!
-- Aunt Tammy

This picture is again one of the best Grandma loves the snow and you know I love the owl.
-- Opa

McKayla - Your owl looks very wise. I think you did a great job with keeping the colors fairly neutral. I like him.

Great art work! keeping with the fall season is a great idea. Keep up the good work.
-- opa

This is beautifull McKayla!! You should really frame this one!!
-- Tammy

this is so clever McKayla--actually i am looking at the real thing now at your house--i really enjoy all your artwork and i think you can only get better and better--love you--grandma
-- grandma

very nice picture mckayla 283 real proud of you love you. opa
-- otto

McKayla, I like this piece because it is simple and uniform in shapes used yet each one has a different design (layers) on it and they are in three different directions. ths tells me that you are multidimensional, deep, layered like an onion. The three different directions indicate that you can be all over the place though, be careful! Focus! But you can connect just in different ways. DAD
-- Scott

I love this picture because I see M for McKayla so clearly yet all around you (your aura) there are so many different things going on. this means to me that you are a multi- faceted, interesting person. Love the shoes- Payless? DAD
-- Scott

Really pretty! It makes me think of a fall day after sunset! Love the colors!
-- Aunt Tammy

I'm always impressed by your sense of color, but your perception of proportion and spatial orientation are also remarkable! (explain THAT one, mom & dad!)
-- Bryce

McKayla, your artwork this year is so good!! next time we repaint a room in our house we'll know who to call for help!! :) love, uncle todd & aunt amanda
-- amanda

Really Cool! How did you do that? We should weave some pot holders next!!!
-- Tammy

McKayla - You did such a wonderful job on your uneven paper weaving project. Now you have done a great job on your card weaving. I am so proud of your efforts! Mrs. Ric
-- Kathy

This is so cool--you'll have to show me how you did this when I see you--i love you---Grams
-- Grandma

McKayla this is another fantastic piece of art work--it almost looks like a quilt or a mat or a flying carpet--nice job! Grandma
-- Grandma

Wow! That is really cool! I love it!
-- Aunt Tammy

I love fall, and I love your art work!! It is so special! You are a great artist!
-- tracy

Grandma is a little slow checking her mail but i just saw this work of art--makes me a little homesick for all the pretty fall colors--is that what inspired you for this piece--it would be so interesting if you made a comment on what inspired your painting or what you were thinking of--I'd like that--nice work--Love ya GRAMS
-- Grandma

great job--love the colors Grams
-- BONNIE

McKayla this is truly a creative work--i think it inspires a design for fabrics--you know like dress fabric or curtains, bedspreads, outdoor items. cups etc--really like this one especially the color blends and abstract design--nice job! Love you so much and i'm so proud of you--Grams
-- Grandma

I really think you show great potential as an artist. I really like your sense of color.
-- Bryce

yours looks better than some things I have seen in art museums! Nice work!
-- Bryce

McKayla, that is beautiful work! Looks professional!
-- Bryce

Dear McKayla, I am so proud of you!! Your artwork is beautiful. Keep up the great work Love, Aunt Maimy and Uncle BB
-- Maimy and BB

Nice work--beautiful coloring--the chicken looks a little like grandma coming home from service--I LOVE the man in the moon with SUNGLASSES--really funny and VERY CLEVER--you're an artistic GENIUS!!! LOVE YOU--GRANDMA
-- GRANDMA

Very creative. Just 1 question - are those clouds or is that a steam-powered chicken?
-- poppop

Very cool McKayla. How did you do that? We love all your art. Cant wait to see what you do next!
-- Tammy

You are becoming a super duper artist and your work is really beautiful--grandpa thinks the clown looked like him--is it? O ne of your pieces of art resemble a very famous artist--Salvadore Dali and the one of the circle I love! NICE JOB! Love ya, Grandma and pop pop
-- BONNIE
