Love this!

Claudia, I haven't seen your artwork in a while but this is great! So imaginative. You have a real talent - keep it up! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia, I haven't visited Artsonia in awhile and I'm truly amazed at your recent work. The sneaker is truly a masterful sketch. But emotionally, I just love this one for its content - a woman and the moon, so evocative. Well done!
-- Cindy

Hi Claudia - I'm so glad Artsonia is notifying us about your art work again. I love this picture - not only for its subject matter (yay, cats!), but also because I think you have really captured the spirit of the cave paintings. I love that you didn't just copy an existing picture but also tried to imagine what the cave people might have painted if cats had been domesticated then. Keep up the great work!!! See you soon! Love, Grandma & Grandpa
-- Cindy

Dear Claudia, I love your cat and the note you sent us with the cat on it. I bet your cat friends like your pictures too. We are looking forward to seeing the drawings and paintings soon at your house. See you. Keep up the good work. Love from Grandma and Grandpa Stafford
-- Susan

Claudia, I see you finished the work at the bottom. Good choice of ground materials. I am glad you are still doing art works. You have a great sense of color and scale. I will be seeing you soon. Love to all your family and cats. G'ma Susie
-- susan

Oooh, Claudia , that's a fine fellow! I like him!
-- Cindy

hi claudia, I love your artwork. Can you send me a picture of your where the wild things are picture?? I'd like to hang it up. You are a good artist and I especially like it when you use a pen to work with your colors. See you in July. Love, G'ma Susie
-- susan

Hi, Claudia - These ARE cool swirls and make a nice companion piece to the warm zigzags. Your artwork always makes me smile. Keep it up! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia - I love this painting so much that I ordered a luggage tag for Granddad and a mug for Aunt Aimee in this design, to give them on their birthdays. Shhhh, don't tell! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia, this picture is totally charming! I love the colors! You are such a good artist! Can't wait to see you and Augie. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Hi Claudia, I love your snail. Good colors and it has a nice swirl. I have lots of coffee filters here, maybe you can make me a snail when you visit sometime. See you soon. Love, G'ma Susie
-- susan

Pretty, pretty, pretty!
-- Cindy

Claudia, this is the best dancing giraffe I've ever seen! It's colorful and whimsical and makes you feel happy just looking at it. Keep it up! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Wow! First a salt painting and now sand. Lots of interesting texture. It is fun to have new art ideas. Glad you are using all the colors and the techniques. Love, G,ma Susie
-- susan

Hi, Claudia - I really like the rich colors and controlled swirls in this picture. It has sort of a butterfly feel to it. I always look forward to seeing your new works of art. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Dear Claudia, You drew a very nice caterpillar. She does look worried. I hope she finds her baby. After the storm the sun will shine and it will be easier for her to find her little caterpillar. It is probably keeping dry under a leaf nearby. See you soon! Love, Grandma Susie
-- susan

Aw, Claudia, so cute!!!! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Hi Claudia - I love the rich colors and the complexity of this picture. It reminds me of our neighborhood in Empire! Were you thinking about that when you painted it? Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia, Your creative houses picture is great! Love all the colors and I would like you to tell me what inspired you. I am not sure what the clouds are doing - about to rain?? Is the sun bleeding? Is there a cat in this picture? I like it. Love from g'ma Susie and g'pa John
-- susan

Claudia - I love your description of your picture! It's sad when girls don't realize how beautiful they are. You're a wise girl to understand that. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

What a scary day! No wonder the children were hiding in the basement. Nice artwork, Claudia. I really enjoy seeing your pictures. Keep it up! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Hi Claudia, I like your tornado picture. Those are smart kids to hide in the basement. You are a good artist. I hope you keep making these interesting pictures. Love to you from Grandpa John and Grandma Susie
-- susan

Hi, Claudia - This painting really captures the feeling of fall. Gourds are fun! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Wow, Claudia, I really like this concept - the idea of a tree that reaches out to defend itself. So dramatic! Well done. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

hi claudia, I still like this kitty picture a lot. What is the kitty's name?? Did you have a good Halloween? We had nice weather and about 300 kids in costume that we gave candy to. Hope you got lots of good stuff. Love, G'ma Susie
-- susan

Hi, Claudia - This picture reminds me of the twin maple trees in our back yard in Empire, all dressed up in their fall colors. I'm looking out the window at them right now! Thanks for this nice picture. Love, Grandma (Tabasco & Marshmallow send their love, too!)
-- Cindy

Hi Claudia, Your fall trees look good. It looks like one tree is eating the other! I guess your trees have lost a lot of their leaves in Chicago. Our trees here are just starting to turn fall colors. We will have a storm tomorrow and then a lot of leaves will come down. Love, G'ma susie
-- susan

Hi Claudia, Black and white, day and night, good pictures. Was the story good? You are a good artist and you could make up a good story to go with your pictures. I love seeing your work. Love, G'ma Susie
-- susan

Nice work Claudia. I like the blue and white. I think all of your friends will like it. Airplanes and houses are neat and your composition is great. Love from Grandma Susie and Grandpa John
-- susan

Claudia, I absolutely love this picture! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Hi Claudia, You have made a perfect picture of my favorite treat -- I love ice cream sundaes. I wish I were there to eat them up. Did you have some at your birthday party? We will have some at the beach soon. Can't wait to see you. Love, Grandma Susie
-- susan

Hi, Claudia - I really liked your comment - that you didn't want to give this piece a name because you didn't finish it. It's important to know when something is finished - and believe or not, lots of people don't! And you're right - only when it's finished, and you're satisfied that it's exactly what you wanted to create, does it truly deserve a name. This is a good start and I hope you'll either finish it or try another piece because I think textile art (yarn is a textile, and so is cloth) is great. So often you can make something that is both useful and pretty using textiles. Over the ages this has been an important form of women's art - they had to make things that could be used but they also made them pretty. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia, I liked the kitty picture a lot. This red house picture is interesting, but a little too red for me. I think the kitty was nice because there were different colors and I like this idea of happy kitties. Love, G'ma
-- susan

Dear Claudia - How did I miss this kitty-cat picture??? I love, love, LOVE it! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

I loved the purple and you picked good numbers. Dennis is 3 and 3 plus one plus two add up to 6 which is how old Neti is now. I can't wait till you are five -- it is coming up soon. See you soon. Love, G'ma susie
-- susan

Claudia - I loved your happy snowman and I am glad he helps to keep his house clean. It would be fun to see him dance. You could dance with him, but wear your snowsuit. Snowmen need to stay cold or they are a puddle of water. Love, Grandma Susie
-- susan

Dear Claudia - Fluffy snowman - I like it!!! Did you make a snowman this year? Can't wait to see you in Empire. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Hi Claudia, I think the circle on the far right looks a lot like me. Is it really grandma susie? I like your colors. Keep on coloring - you make good pictures. How about a Degas ballerina? Love, G'ma Susie
-- susan

Very pretty, Claudia, very nice! I like your exploration of the many things that can be done within and around a circle. I didn't know much about Sonia Delaunay so I learned something about her work, too. Keep up the good work! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Ooooo, Claudia, I like this picture. It reminds me of the French artist Seurat, who also painted with dots. Your mom may have a book she can show you. Hope you're having fun on tour! We're looking forward to seeing you at Christmastime. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia, This is a great picture. I love the tree and the leaves are beautiful. It really looks like fall. It is one of my favorite pictures. Love to you from grandma Susie
-- susan

Claudia, this beautiful picture reminds me of Empire in the fall! It makes me look forward to going there again (and having you there for a visit!!!). Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Aw, this is so sweet! Thanks for a nice, upbeat collage, Claudia. I LOVE your work! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia -- this is a very pretty and delicate composition. I like the pink and blue and it looks like some cloud shapes are included. It is a definite pretty girl picture. The blue stripe is to give the boys some hope. I think it is a happy picture. I like it. Love, Grandma Susie
-- susan

Hi Claudia, I think rainbow fish is one of my favorites. Did you cut out the fish body and then put on those good colors? It looks great. A really nice creation for your house. Love from Grandma Susie
-- susan

Hi, Claudia - Love those colors! Keep up the good work! Can't wait to see you. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Wow! Claudia!! When I first saw your neat chameleon I was scared, but then I decided I liked the colors so much that I wasn't scared but happy. I really like your flowers too -- in your favorite color, pink. Love, Grandma Susie
-- susan

Good job, Claudia!!! I'm so impressed with your work and particularly how well you use colors. Keep up the good work. See you soon! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

What a pretty picture, Claudia! I love the delicate colors. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Wow, that is beautiful, Claudia!
-- Mama

Claudia, your circles are magical. Neti and Dennis would like them. They look like fun to make. See you in June. Love, Grandma Susie
-- susan

Claudia, you're so good with colors! I always love the colors you choose in your paintings. And you have a great sense of design, too. I'll bet lots of kids filled the whole page with circles but you carefully left that blank triangle in the corner, which I think works really well. To me it looks like a shoreline, with white sand, then the well defined blue-green "water's edge," and then the more churned-up activity below the surface. Keep up the good work. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

I liked your cookie cutter artwork. I wish I could eat one of your cookies - yum, yum. Keep on painting. Love from Grandma Susie.
-- susan

Good job, Claudia - love those nice, springy colors! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Dear Claudia - I think your painting captures the spirit of pop art. I really like the bold colors! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

"Thank you, Grandma Susie!" says Claudia.
-- Julie

I love all of your art work Claudia. You have great composition and color sense. Neti would love the purple in this picture since that is his favorite color. I think Dennis likes red. I will be happy to see some of the other works you have created. Please keep up the good artwork. Love, Grandma Susie
-- susan

Hi, Claudia - I like the balance in this picture - the way the colors fill the white space without crowding it. The purple figure in the lower right looks like a butterfly to me! Which Eric Carle book were you thinking about when you did this painting? Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Hi, Claudia - When I looked at this picture before daylight I didn't even see Pinkalicious, and now I see her very clearly! Funny how things can look very different in different lights. That's one of the wonderful things about art. Very cute drawing! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Grandma, That's Purplicious, Pinkalicious, a little friendly alien and Claudia! Love, Claudia (typed by Mama)

Claudia, I like the colors and texture of this work. Good job! Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Love those colors!
-- Cindy

Claudia, I like this drawing very much. Who are the three people? (I have a guess but I want you to tell me.) Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Claudia - Very cool!!! Next time I see you, you'll have to explain how you did this. Love, Grandma
-- Cindy

Dear Claudia - Red + blue = purple - still pretty amazing after all these years! I love the way you have expressed this and made it new again. Love, Grandma

Claudia, what a blizzardy blizzard! Love, Grandma

Claudia, you are really making some great circles out of those colors. It looks like you are having fun. I can't wait to see them. Love, Grandma

Good job, Claudia! I like the way you arranged the circles on the paper and the way you used colors. Love, Grandma

Claudia, I love the blend of blues and greens and dusky pinks on your new "salt watercolor" paintings, and the way the black outline makes the pastel shades pop out. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Love, Grandma

Claudia, I love the colors in this painting! The shades of blue are lovely and the streak of red really makes them pop out. Wish I could print this pattern on some material and make it into something to wear! I think you have a lot of talent and a great sense of design. Love, Grandma

Claudia - Both the collages you posted show a great sense of color and design. Your art career is off to a great start! I love these pictures. Keep up the good work! Love, Grandma
