Dearest Mara, I have just been watching the sun come up over the lake, and though it is a beautiful daybreak, it can't match the color and joy I see in the gorgeous rainbow you painted. -- Patricia

This is a most handsome creature. He looks most regal and commanding and important. He carries with him a tail most decorative and appealing. I would love to hear the song of your most unique bird, Love, Gaga Pat -- Patricia

Dearest Mara, The coiled pot you have created is most wonderful. I love the detail and realism. You are extremely creative and extraordinary.

Dearest Mara, This is the happiest butterfly I have ever seen. She is so colorful and bright. She and you share something in common. She glows in the dark, and you light up a room every time you enter it. You are both very lucky. Keep up the good work, -- Gaga

Dearest Mara, I would recognize your beautiful hands anywhere. How colorful. I can tell that your hands are not just beautiful, but capable of doing great things. They are helpful hands that work hard and yet can be so gentle. Those hands love to help make cakes and cookies, hold toads and catch insects. They build creative things from Legos and do science experiments. I love the way your gentle hand fits in my hand when we go walking, and of course they made this wonderful picture. Love -- Gaga

Dearest Mara, You have created a very lucky ladybug. I can tell she was created by loving hands because she looks so very happy to be sitting on that beautiful green leaf. She should sit proudly on a shelf in your home so everyone can admire her. Love, -- Gaga

Dearest Mara, Panda just love bamboo, it's their favorite. Your painting shows so well just how pleased this panda is with his supper. I know that your favorite supper is a rare steak with fried onions, small baked potatoes, asparagus with cheese and drizzled with balsamic glaze, and ice cream for desert. YUM! If your panda ever tried that...he just might change his mind. Love -- Gaga

Dearest Mara, Abraham Lincoln was truly one of our greatest presidents. He wrote many great speeches to help end the Civil war and abolish slavery. He was a gteat person just like you are. Keep up the great work Mara. You do great things too. Love, -- Gaga

Our dear Mara, Your apples look as if they are smiling and dressed in bright colors just like you. Your painting looks delicious enough to eat. I feel very hungry for an apple just now, think I"ll go have one. Knowing how much you like apples, I'm surprised they lasted long enough to paint. You are always so artistic and very inspirational. All my love, -- Gaga

Dearest Mara, I love your beautiful leaves. I wish I had a pile of leaves as fabulous as these. I would rake them into an enormous pile in the front yard and we could jump and play in them, and make some smashing leaf Angels. -- Gaga

Dearest Mara, One of my greatest joys is creativity, and you are the best creation of all. I admire all your artwork on our walls and just can't wait to see what you will come up with next.

Your heart has always been a part of your hand. Your actions always originate from the love you have for your family, friends and all the world's creatures. You have very busy hands that work and play and create with enthusiasm and great energy and kindness and gentleness. Whether your hands are painting, baking, bowling, dancing, practicing Karate moves, caring for small creatures, assembling Legos, waving to a friend or giving a pat on the back to someone who needs one...your hand will always leave behind your special mark on the world. We love you! -- Gaga

Mara, This is the best, I love your stylization and color blending. The way the shadow areas are darker and the areas at the tops of shapes show the sunlight across them...very realistic. Your pumpkin glows! For a pumpkin sitting on the grass, it shows a lot of energy, movement and imagination. Great job! Oh, oh...I think I did just see it move. -- Grandma- but you can call me Gaga

I love having you for my granddaughter. You are kind and friendly to all living beings, loving and joyful. You dance and sing and embrace all life has to offer. You are adventurous, brave and generous. You are an artist that not only paints beautiful pictures, but you are also beautiful on the inside where it counts most. I love you with all my heart. -- Grandma
