Wow! Great capture! Nana

Declan I really like this picture. Did you visit these mountains?

Hey D! I think this cute little pot needs a plant! Put you mom to work!

Looks like a wind storm! Am I right?

Beautiful! I’d love to hike the trail and sit under that tree!

Looks like a Trojan warrior!

Quite dapper dandy! Looks like an old time comedian!

I love this! You really made them pop out and look so real! Great job!

Great job blending the colors!

Love this line drawing, Declan. Especially with the wash of colors.

Looks like a fall leaf! Good job

Great 3-D effect!

This is so cool! I see a spider in a web or a guy coming down in parachute!

This is really amazing, Declan! The gesture/pose you made and its placement in the composition make the illusion all the more believable.

Cool!

Great owl D! I think we might have an artist in the family! The feathers look so smooth and the shading is great!

Love how close up you bring the viewer to this owl. Hoot Hoot Hooray!

Love the pastels and the way you got them to blend and float

Grandpa likes your ceramic bowl ??

Hi Declan That is a very cool looking monkey ?????? He looks like he is smiling??

That is very cool. I love the textures.

Great job! You really got all the details of the costume!

Wow! I think we have a techie in the making!

Cool photo! If it weren't ice I'd like to crawl in and see what's below!

Georgia Okeefe is one of my favorite artists! You've captured the dry desert look and I like the clouds and the rays of light.

Such an amazing optical illusion!

Very Cool! Looks like its flying! That's an optical illusion for sure.

I love that the shapes of the ghosts, gravestones, and ominous figure in the front match the shape of the mask. It's a great pattern and design!

Pretty Spooky!

Great job handling both dogs and I'm glad to see you are bigger than Row! Can't wait to meet Boat tool

Declan, Looks like you are Rowing the Boat! Cute idea and good job with dimensions!

This is such a happy picture. Looks like you've grown, being that you are bigger than both Row and Bo.

Yummy! Great job with the shading!

So beautiful! I love your shading and use of color. Wow!

I like the depth you've created, and the interesting perspective of looking down at the castle.

Hey Declan, Thats a great castle! I like the details on the turrets and the draw bridge!

This moves like waves on the water when I look at it. Nice shading!

Nice job Declan! It looks almost like a fern...very organic!

Wow! Those eyes are so alive and expressive.

That's quite a catch!

Cool looking dude! Did you have one to pose for you?

Love how the colors pop off the paper. The vase has terrific shading too-really makes it look like there's light shining on the subject from the right.

Cool cow!

Declan, That is a great big cow!! I wouldn't want to meet him in a field! Love the pink nose too!

What a pretty bouquet! I like the shading on the vase and the background. Looks like you are having fun with drawing and painting.

I'm super curious about what kind of printmaking technique(s) you used. I see a big bouquet of flowers in a vase--is that what you see? Love the contrast between the billowing, organic flowers and the geometry of the design on the vase.

This is a beautiful tribute to Monet. I love the immediacy. I feel like I’m right there under the green trees.
-- Andy

Love this one Declan! It makes me feel like I'm outside on a beautiful spring day!
-- Nana

I like all the little details you included, such as the walkway and stairs. Did you sit outside and observe what you saw, or is this by memory? Either way, bravo!
-- Andy

Fantastic job! It looks just like home sweet home! Nana
-- Nana

Declan, Thanks for telling me about this project! I can see now that its a pretty dish/bowl but the picture just looked like a head of lettuce to me when I first saw it. I think your teachers need to give a project name to the pictures so grandmas like me understand what your goal was. Love you, Nana
-- Nana

What a beautiful green glaze, Declan. I like how the color gets darker and lighter dependent on how deep your pressing marks are. I also like the way the ornament is displayed on the easel with the black and white background. Makes your work look very sharp and distinctive.
-- Andy

Your contrasting colors create a mood of tension, especially with that fin in the background. I love your brush strokes and angles too! Sharp as a Shark!
-- Andy

Declan, Is that a shark I see peeking over the waves? Great job! I like the shading and the foam and the bright sky! Must make you wish you were in Mexico!
-- Nana

What a pretty cardinal and baby! I'm glad you like birds. You have a good eye for them! I just got home and I saw 410 birds in Australia! Maybe someday you'll find even more than me! Nana
-- Nana

Love the sky in this one, Declan.
-- Andy

That’s one big polar bear, or two polar bears dependent on how you look at it!
-- Andy

This is such an amazing picture Declan. I love all the negative blue space and the body language of the big cardinal feeding the little cardinal in the nest.
-- Andy

Declan, I love your cardinals! The colors are fantastic and the setting on the branch is perfect. I hope Santa might bring me mug with them for Xmas!
-- Nana

The layers to this piece are interesting, especially in combination with that Black swiftly and think line. It almost looks like you used some sort of stamping/printing technique.
-- Andy

Declan, Thats a cool tree and I love the way you used color behind it to make it really pop! Nana
-- Nana

What a cute character! Is this bird getting ready to fly from the nest?
-- Andy

Declan, Great job! That's a big beak!
-- Nana

This reminds me of Cezanne. I especially like the contrasting blue and orange/yellow, the texture of the wall, and the shadow on the red apple in front.
-- Andy

Declan, Are those Mexican fruits? I like the texture of the sky and the color combinations! Miss you, Nana
-- Nana

Love the atmospheric effect of your print. Looks like a reflection!
-- Andy

Looks like a scary Halloween city! I like the reflections in the water!
-- Nana

Declan, I love your owl! He looks so big and fluffy! Is that a cactus plant he's heading home too. I've seen owls in the desert that live in cactus. Love you, Nana
-- Nana

Wowsers! Love the action and movement.
-- Andy

Your hands are adorable, Declan.
-- Andy

Declan, Great job on your handprints! My favorite is the green. Which is yours?
-- Nana

So cool Dman!!!
-- Emy

Great job Declan! I love the deep colors!
-- Nana

Must be weird to come back from sunny Mexico and have to draw a snow man! Great job! I like his corn cob pipe and the smoke/swirl affect!
-- Nana

Looks like a windy, snowy day for your Van Gogh snowman. Your picture captures the movement and sometimes dizzying effect of a real Van Gogh!
-- Andy

Olla Declan, I love the colors you chose and the way you blended them. Makes me think of a snowstorm swirling!
-- Nana

That owl can really soar!
-- Andy

Lines, shapes, primary colors all filling up your page! Looks like a Mondrian to me:)
-- Andy

That's the happiest owl I've ever seen! Great job Declan! Love, Nana
-- Nana

Declan, I love the details of your self-portrait, such as your eyebrows, nostrils, shirt collar and more. I wonder if your hair has turned black since the last time I saw you;)
-- Andy

Declan, What a great job! I think this looks like your dad...is it?
-- Nana

Hooray! So happy to get to see your artwork online, Declan. How did you like working with clay? Such bright primary colors!
-- Andy

Declan, You did a great job on your art piece. I like the colors. It reminds me of a bird nest but I don't think any birds build such colorful nests! Hope you are having fun in your new class this year and I can't wait to see what you'll make next!
