This one is very evocative. It really communicates a flowing ness—my favorite one you’ve done this year!

Looks like the bottom half of the U.S.!

Very creative, Elyse. You captured the tone of the times very well, indeed. Grandma Jeanne

Elyse, I like that you gave a mathematical clue to the picture - cat + pj's = Cat in PJ's Well done!!

Dear Elyse, Love the eyelashes on your self-portrait! And I think you are right: rainbows are a happy thing, and so are you! Grandma Jeanne
- Jeanne on December 11, 2019
Now that's what a call a happy picture - the sun and the rainbow and a very happy girl
- Marilyn on December 11, 2019
Elyse, that sculpture is just amazing! How did you manage to get all those pieces to balance so precariously? Very cool! Grandma Jeanne
- Jeanne on December 11, 2019
I like the stained glass look!
- Marilyn on November 13, 2019
What gets me every time I see this one is how it tricks the eye to think you are using a magnifying glass over the middle part--how'd you do that?
- Dad on November 6, 2019
Okay, you're going to have to explain this one to me.
- Dad on November 6, 2019
Hi, Elyse. I like your "Rainy Sun". I think it could almost be like a quilt. Maybe we could work on that idea when you come to visit. Love, Grandma Jeanne -- Jeanne

Hi, Elyse! I like your latest drawing. I can see that mermaid is having a lovely swim with all those little gold fish! And the sunset is a nice time for a swim, too. Love, Grandma Jeanne -- Jeanne

Hi, Elyse! I really like your "Sarcophagus Girl" drawing. Neat job. Next time you come to visit me, maybe you would like to see a real sarcophagus at the museum. There is a mummy there, too, but it is not nearly so interesting as the sarcophagus or your drawing. Love, Grandma Jeanne -- Jeanne
- on March 1, 2018
Very nice picture of your friend Scarlet with, I believe you told me, a very colorful cake. -- Dad

Elyse's style shines through! Everything from her pink dress to her long hair and fingers! (Dad says she needs a haircut to get her hair out of her eyes. Maybe Elyse thinks so too!)
