Love this pig, Ben! -- Granny

Happy New Year stained glass style -- Campa

Dearest Ben, So glad to have a chat about your painting. I really like the goat in the oasis. And I love the idea of pears on the palm tree! -- Lots of love, Granny

Ben - thanks for the dialog on the artwork: sun, rocks, palm with pears, wade drinking water in oasis! Great! Pop -- Jack

Ben - no comments yet! your art deserves better! I like it for its 3D construction and framing of the smaller scene. Reminds of Eastern Orthodox art or Slavic art - look that up! Love, Pop -- Jack

Hi again Ben - Interesting, simple yet symbolic! Pop -- Pop/Jack

Hi Ben - Great art but you have me stumped on deciphering the message! Love from Pop -- Pop/Jack

I like the mixture of colors, lines and letters. A complex graphic work. -- Campa

This is a map of water going to the lake - Ben -- Elaine

I sense a detailed story here: animals, tree and humans interacting. -- Pop

I love the variety of influences that you came from! -- Pop

Ben- This is going to take some explaining! I see a lake with a stream draining into a river. Right? -- Pop

I had fun looking at this painting, Ben. Turquoise blue is one of my favorite colors. And I like the rib-cage on the little creature in the middle! -- Much love, Granny

Hi Ben - I like the way you create very detailed patterns of color, not just uniform blocks. It must take a long time to add all those colors! Love, Pop -- Jack

Darling Ben, I LOVE this little guy! Especially his hat, a bit like a tam o' shanter; and his long thin legs -- I wish I had legs like those. Keep up the good drawings! Lots of love, Granny xxx -- Meg

I like the use of many different images. Well done! -- Jack

I really like the colors in your latest picture, Ben, and the way you wrote out your whole name. Lots of love, Granny -- Granny

Very colorful creatures Campa -- Cam

Hey Ben, this is interesting! Can you tell me what the little grey circles are made of? Love, Granny -- Granny

I'm guessing it is a bird. It looks fantastic! -- Pop/Jack

Hello Ben, Pop just forwarded this drawing to me. You are improving with every artwork! I love the spots on the clothes! Love, Granny -- Meg

Ben starts Art again this month - so there will be lots of new stuff to look at soon. -- Elaine

Hi Ben - I like your latest art work. I think of it as you in a forest with purple tree trunks, blue leaves, and many brown trees in the background with white roots. Love, Pop -- Jack

Hi Ben - I like your pinwheel. I'm wondering what the drawing on it is? Love from Pop -- Jack

Hey Ben - I really like your snowman and the very colorful background! Love, Pop -- Jack

This is Ben's self portrait! -- Elaine

Hello Ben darling! I like the drawing, and especially the beautiful way you are writing your name now. Love, -- Granny

This is for Day of the Dead. Day of the Dead is when we remember our loved ones who have passed away. We have been learning about it in art class with Ms. Veccioni and watching the movie The Book of Life. This is hanging up in the school and which is full of Day of the Dead decorations for the rest of the week. Calavera is a happy skeleton. My skeleton's name is Minnow-no -- Ben

Ben - You are challenging us. I got that Calavera is a skull and this was inspired by Halloween. Am I right? Keep up the great interpretative work! -- Pop

The last comment was from GRANNY!!!! -- Granny

Dearest Ben, I like your new picture very much. Please tell me what calavera means in English? Lots of love, -- Me

Dear Ben, You are becoming quite a talented young man! I particularly like the contours of the table and the vase. The vase reminds me of a mitten and therefore of Michigan too. -- William and Jenny

Dearest Ben, We think your painting is great! We especially like the green of the flower which is repeated in the foreground. Keep making good drawings like this one! -- Granny and Pop

I like the colors. Good drawing. -- Campa

This is Ben's response to Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers. This is made of pastels and watercolor. He is studying outsider art with the art teacher, Ms. . She is his favorite teacher. This is a class that is 1/2 of his kindergarten on Thursdays - the other half of his class goes to computers. He will do computers in the spring.
