Lauren, I love your mug and you can use it! It was fun to see at the art show. Sending love your way! ??
- Grandma on May 31, 2024
Lauren, I applaud you for doing face sketching. I always shied away from trying faces. You didn’t. If you keep at it, it will come easier for you. Thank you for sharing your art work with me all year long. It delights me to see all you’ve done and the progress you’ve made.
- Grandma on May 31, 2024
Lauren, I love this, of course. ?? You are so talented. Did you have a hoop to keep it taut? I especially like that you did it for your grandma. I will be waiting for you to come to the lake to find a spot to put it. Well done.
- Grandma on May 31, 2024
Lauren, I just see your Fairy House. I don’t think I got an email on it. Glad I found it. I remember you mentioning your pottery. This is really cute. You are creative. I’d like to hear more about the process you used. Keep up the great work!
- Grandma on May 8, 2024
Lauren, These “sneakers” look so fun. You did a great job. Do you think you’ll ever wear them? I understand they are being used for spring fling table decor. I’ll tell you about the ones my sister, Sherry, made years ago.
- Grandma on May 8, 2024
Lauren, This is excellent. How did you do that? Remember when you did this a few years ago? Improvement. I love seeing your art. Keep it up. What’s next?
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
Hi Lauren, I like your candle. Is this watercolor or acrylic? Maybe both. Have you lighted a candle for someone at your church? I like candles. They give a calming feeling. Keep up the art work. LOVE YOU.
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
Lauren, this snow globe is so good. Would be fun to do Christmas cards with this. I have always found snow globe to be so fascinating. Congrats on another great work of art.
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
Lauren, this portrait is so cool. It is fascinating. Will you tell me more about how you did this? Give me a call. Excellent work.
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
Dear Lauren, Great job. I’m glad you like art. In my art classes, my favorites were sketching and watercolor. How about you? What is your favorite medium? Keep up the good work. Love you!
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
This is quite interesting Lauren. You’ll have to tell me about it. Don’t quite “get it”. Must be modern art! ??
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
Awesome Lauren, This is one of your best artworks yet! Great job and detail. Love it even though the bones are a little creepy. HEEHEE. Keep working on your artistic abilities during the summer.
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
Lauren, this is so cool. I cannot imagine all the perfect detail, even on the ceiling. I’ll miss your great art work over the summer. You’ll have to continue your creativity. Love you!
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
Lauren, I really like your artwork. It’s quite amazing really. Do you know who Maya Angelo is? Remarkable and wise woman. I am so glad I get to see the art you have created throughout the years. Anxious to see what’s next.
- Grandma on February 18, 2024
I like your pinch pot monster, Lauren. “She’s” sill and fun. Anxious to see this when you get her home. Doing clay is fun. Keep up the good work. Grandpa laughed.

- Grandma. on April 5, 2023
Lauren, This is really good. I can see it is oil pastels as I look closely at your artwork. I always thought it was fun to work with the oil pastels. Do you? Keep up the creativity and good work. LOVE you!
- Grandma on March 4, 2023
Lauren, I really like the seven turtles. Will you explain a little more? I can see that it is sketching. I used to do a lot of sketching in my art classes. Wish I still had them to show you. Keep being your creative self.
- Grandma on March 4, 2023
Lauren- I like this. Good work. Temptation…Will you put it on the your tree? Love you!
- Grandma on March 4, 2023
Lauren!! I love love love this! Is this your gingerbread house? What a fantastical, creative idea to integrate Florida fever! You did an awesome job. Bravo! ????
- Grandma on March 4, 2023
Lauren, Very cool. Are these mirror images? Will you explain for me? I can see you are enjoying art. Keep up the good work. Be happy!
- Grandma on March 4, 2023
Lauren, I love it. I'm so glad you are taking art. Your creativity will continue to blossom. The variation in the greens is pretty cool. Did you use colored pencils? Keep it going. LOVE YOU.
- Grandma on March 4, 2023
Lauren. I see this is your first artwork of the year. These drippy colors are very brilliant. Love it and it’s really full of movement, color and creativity. Have fun with art this year. Did you know Parker did the same thing? Love you sweetie!
- Grandma on March 4, 2023
Hi Lauren, I’m glad you explained to me about this art work yesterday. I love the movement plus many colors used together in this sunset picture. And then the sun shining through. Brilliant. Keep up the good work.
- Grandma on March 6, 2022
Lauren, I can guess where this could be! It’s a beautiful sunset at the lake. Good job. You’ll have to get there soon. Can’t wait.
- Grandma on May 5, 2021
Dear Lauren, I love your layered cake. It looks like you used oil pastels as your medium. I am not sure. Strawberry and vanilla? Dripping chocolate is the frosting I’m thinking. I wonder if you’ve ever baked a layered cake in real life. It would be fun wouldn’t it? Can you tell me more? I’m glad you like doing art. I have always loved it too. Great job.
- Grandma on March 24, 2021
Lauren, I love your cubes! I can see the dimension in each square with the color variation and precision in drawer. YOU ARE GOOD!you’ll have to tell me more about how you did that. Love you!
- Grandma on March 24, 2021
Hi Lauren, Crystals....interesting. Lots of perspective used here. Is that the word. Great colors you’ve used to give definition to each crystal. I am imagining these as an outdoor display that is huge like Stonehenge. Then I thought would it be fun to use glitter paint to give each crystal a glistening look? Keep up the great work.
- Grandma on March 24, 2021
Lauren, THIS IS SO COOL! It took me looking at it, finally, on my iPad, a bunch of time before I saw LAUREN!!! Awesome. I wonder what it would look like using different colored pencils? Good job, sweetie. Keep up the good work. I may even try this myself. Keep creating!
- Grandma on March 24, 2021
Lauren, this is very cool. Didn’t realize you had this made. Maybe you’ll be able to wear it at school this fall. I would surely like to hear more. I do wonder if I could get one also? Love you!!!
- Grandma on March 24, 2021
Hi Lauren, This is pretty cool. I love that you have learned perspective. It gives you a whole new understanding of art plus viewing the world around you. Isn't this an underground aquarium? Isn't there one at Mall of America? Amazing. You know I didn't learn about perspective drawing until I was in a college art class! Keep up the good work and thank your teacher. :)
- Grandma on April 8, 2020
Lauren, Did I not write about your Mary before? She lookx beautiful and peaceful. I like the design in her robe and I am anxious to see all the pieces you have made for your nativity set. Do you have it set up at home now? Love this special art project and I love you!
- Grandma on January 15, 2020
Dear Lauren, Pinch Pot. That is interesting. Is it small or big? Would you use is to drink water or to keep 'trinkets' in? I am imagining that it must be reminiscent of people making utilitarian pieces out of the clay of the earth to use in their daily life. Good job. Will you tell me more about this?
- Grandma on January 15, 2020
Lauren, I love your colorful jellyfish. Do you remember seeing ALL the different jellyfish at the aquarium when you came to Florida the first time with your family? I was amazed. I had never seen so many different kinds. Who knew. I can imagine yours floating through the water looking graceful and amazing. BUT do they all sting?
- Grandma on January 15, 2020
Lauren, that’s a mighty cute turkey! I can see the paper is wrinkled. You’ll have to tell me about that. And I do notice the Mexican Influence with it being colorful and the swirls much like Mexican tiles. Is this artwork hanging in your hallway? Love to you. Proud of you and glad you like art!
- Grandma on October 19, 2019
Very nice Lauren...Maybe I will get to see this cross in your hallways. This design may look nice on a rock too. What do you think? Keep up the great creativity. -- Grandma
- on April 17, 2019
Lauren, This is so cute. I can see that you had fun doing this. Love the feathers, colors, and creativity. Isn't is fun to do something different? Anxious to see this in person. Art is a wonderful way to express yourself. -- Grandma
- on March 3, 2019
Lauren, I don't remember seeing this before. You did such a great job on the snowman. I see the light from the moon shining on his face. Also then the shadow is at the back side of him. The red hat add a spark of color. Good Job! -- Grandma
- on February 7, 2019
Lauren, I do think this glistening winter tree. I bet it was fun to use foil....Interesting. and of course I love metallic pens too. I see you used them for the stars...or they could be snowflakes also! What else could you create with aluminum foil? Keep having fun with your art. You have a great teacher. -- Grandma
- on February 7, 2019
I'll try again on this one. Love Mary and her smile. She looks peaceful in giving birth to a very special baby. I am anxious to see all your pieces together. I can see you worked carefully on this piece of clay. -- Grandma
- on December 19, 2018
Beautiful, Lauren. I love the different materials, textures and perspective. You are becoming a good artist through your hard work and guidance from your great art teacher. Merry Christmas. Christ is Born! -- Grandma
- on December 19, 2018
Lauren, I absolutely love this! I can see your hard work and artistic ability here. You make my heart light up. = This must be the you were telling me about where your friends were helping you to finish. Bravo. Sooo nice to have special friends you'll probably have for the rest of your life. Love You -- Grandma
- on November 25, 2018
Ooohh-That’s a beautiful work of art Lauren! I love the watercolor combination plus black ink done with the string. Lovely! Think we need to get the watercolors out here again. It’s been a long time. :) -- Grandma
- on September 21, 2018
Fantastic Fish is right Lauren. Oooh, love this technique. You really chose great bright color combinations. Actually, the teeth make it look like a piranha but I don't think piranhas are pretty like this tropical wonder. This would be fun on a t-shirt, do you think? I do wonder if this is your last one for the school year. Don't stop creating, Lauren. You're doing a great job. -- Robin
- on May 31, 2018
Lauren, you were telling me about your weaving and embroidery piece. Now I see it..I think this is a bee by the stinger at the end. EEK. I love the bold colors and doesn't the stitching make it stand out? Very cool. -- Robin
- on May 31, 2018
I like your friendly lion, Lauren. It looks like he wants to lick your face! Keep up the good work. -- Robin
- on April 19, 2018
Hi Lauren. I see you have worked on the Sacred Heart. It is colorful and I love the meaning with the words added. Is it clay and tissue paper. Very creative and YOU have a happy heart just like this one. -- Robin
- on February 6, 2018
Hi Lauren...I love your little fawn. She looks like she's looking right at you doesn't she? Aren't they the cutest seeing them live. Maybe on the side of the road driving by? Was this a fun one for you to do? Keep up the good work. Love you. -- Robin
- on January 1, 2018
Lauren, Baby Jesus, Crèche and now Mary. She is perfect.. I can tell you worked hard on her. Now you'll get to bring her home with the other pieces next week I bet. This is a good way to prepare for Christ's birth. -- Robin
- on January 1, 2018
Excellent Lauren. I see the wise men getting closer to the baby Jesus as they follow the star. The colors are vivid but also you can see it is night. Beautiful story and beautiful job. Keep at it Lauren -- Robin
- on January 1, 2018
Very nice artwork, Lauren! -- Kris
- on January 1, 2018
Hi Lauren. We talked about this one at the lake. It is so cool and colorful. What a nice job and to think it's really a paper plate! You are good at creating with your hands and brain. :) -- Robin
- on January 1, 2018
Lauren, love this hot pink guitar! Do you remember that I put a smaller one on your Christmas Stocking? Great job with the collage! Keep up the good work. -- Robin
- on September 20, 2017
Lauren, this was from a while back. I thought I'd commented before. Well, I do love your g I a n t cupcake and imagining how it smells and tastes! Bite! Hope you keep up your artwork during the summer. You can ALWAYS create something beautiful for me! -- Robin

Sooo pretty Lauren! LOVE the fish wind sock and love all the colors. I like how hard you worked on this "speciman". Good job. ?? -- Robin
- on September 20, 2017
Love this art work. It is very vivid in color and story. I can visualize our bridge by Whiteys. Such stories that bridge can tell. Think how many have walked across it and how many vehicles have gone back and forth. Have you walked Across it? Yes. Have you looked over the edge of it? What about at night? And the stars! Super. I can imagine it all through your picture. Great workmanship Lauren. Love you! -- Robin
- on April 21, 2017
So pretty, Lauren! Keep up the good work. :) -- Auntie Kris
- on April 21, 2017
Hi Lauren, Your puppy is so cute. What is "her" name? Hmmmm...I'd like to hear about that. Love the turquoise and other bright colors you have used. Excellent job, my dear! Keep at it...you are improving every time! -- Robin
- on April 21, 2017
Lauren, it looks like your robot has marshmallows for ears, many eyes and best of all it has a HEART! NOW, tell me what YOU were thinking as you designed your robot?? CrEAtiVe you are. Hearts back to you! -- Robin
- on March 2, 2017
Lauren, love the polar bear. She's looking right at me! HeeHee. The beautiful colors make me think of the sunset or the Northern lights which are so cool and colorful. Good job, honeybun . Keep up the good work. I always like to see your artwork hanging up in the school hallway. XOX -- Robin

Beautiful says it all! Love all the layers too. ?? -- Grandma

- on December 24, 2016
Love your fancy "embellished" clay tree. It looks like you had fun with it. I wonder which embellishment you like best? Hmmmm, maybe we could've added some small sea shells! -- Grandma
- on September 21, 2016
I love it!!!! -- Kris
- on May 13, 2016
Lauren, so cute. LOVE your croc. She is pretty snazzy! So are you ready to spend time with a real Florida alligator? Keep on- you have talent! And thank your art teacher. -- Grandma

- on March 27, 2016
These look like they could be cardinals. Do you think they are cold? I see snowflakes too. How interesting. I could tell a story just by looking at your beautiful artwork!c -- Grandma
- on March 27, 2016
I gave a chuckle about this. It is so creative and colorful. It is reminding me of a hat that could be in a Dr. Seuss book! Keep up your artistic work, Lauren. It is fun for me to see each time what you are creating! -- Grandma
- on March 27, 2016
Did you collect fall leaves For this project, Lauren? Fun! Love the background colors too. Maybe we can do this at the lake sometime together. -- Grandma
- on March 27, 2016
Arrgghh! Orange and black. Great colors for a tiger. Is he a baby just learning to make fierce growls?! -- Grandma
- on March 27, 2016
Love your baby Jesus. He looks bright-eyed and ready to take on the world. It will be more interesting with every piece of the Nativity that you do. Bet you had fun creating this first piece. -- Grandma
- on March 27, 2016
