Love it!

Very fitting for the season. Love your brush strokes. Your apples look delicious too.

Hello Ciaran —- I like your newest art work. It’s very intriguing, with lots of mysterious symbolism. My guess is that the various circles represent planets, but in “peculiar” orbits, with Earth being the largest. Am I right? With respect to what appear to be numbers, I’ve got no clue! Like I said — mysterious symbolism. Keep on being creative! Love, G’pa

This drawing is very interesting. It's interesting because I don't know what the heck is going on. Those circles, are they planets? And the numbers, is it 115 or 15? And what do they symbolize? I like the drawing, but I'll have to ask you the next time I see you, exactly what it means.

I love the colors in this picture. I'm not sure what it means but I like it.

I like this drawing because I knew exactly what it was immediately. I guess it was growing up a Catholic, but I knew it was the Eucharist. It's so good that I think it should be hung up in a Church. Nice job, it almost 3 dimensional.

Hello Ciaran —- I’ve heard that aspiring authors are urged to “write what you know”. Similarly, maybe young artists should start with “drawing what you know”. That’s what you’ve done here. You really do know a lot about tanks! One question: what was your thought process in matching a specific tank design type with a particular artistic style? For example, what qualities make one kind of tank a good choice for an “Impressionistic” drawing? Keep being creative! Love, G’pa

Ciaran this is beautiful, I love it.

When I first looked at the drawing, I thought that the lower tanks were drawn at a younger age and the ones on top were currently drawn. But with a closer look, I realized that they were different types of art, from minimalism to realism. Very impressive. Next step is to cut your ear off. Just kidding. Great job.

I really like your picture. So many different types of tanks. Good work

Hi CIaran. Wow! I love this artwork. It’s just out of this world!!!

Once again, nice work. One question though, why are you laying on a checkerboard? I guess you were tired. Love you.

Love it! Although you are much cuter than your representation….it looks great!

Wow, a self-portrait. It looks like you're laying on a checker board. Nice job.

Looks just like you. Love ?? it.

Yo Ciaran, this artwork is dope! Super clean angles and the transition from black and white to color is so clean! Well done man I am impressed!

This picture is awesome. Such imagination and talent. I love it.

Ciaran!! This is so good! I love this!

Hello Ciaran — This is a really interesting drawing and perspective. But I wonder if that plane is flying a little too low. Or, maybe it’s your intent to show the daring of the pilot to fly between buildings, perhaps implying that to lead a meaningful life, sometimes you’ve just got to take a risk. However, to be clear, I wouldn’t recommend flying a plane through a city! Love, G’pa

Dude, this one is awesome! Am I crazy or is that a P-51???

This is very interesting. I like your color choices.

This looks pretty cool! Great job as always Ciaran!

Wow, so many different thoughts about this drawing. Is the person on the ground just reaching up to get a ride? Or is the white bird actually a dove symbolizing peace and the person is reaching to hopefully grab peace for the world. Great drawing, it makes people think. Good job.

Love your picture. Hope you

Love this! Love your Dove!

This looks like an astronaut looking out the window of his capsule. Is that correct? I think he's trying to get out.

This is cool, you are a great artist Ciaran! Love you!

This picture is very interesting. I love the angle and colors. Great job!

Hello Ciaran --- I note that your newest art work doesn't have a title. May I suggest "A Tree of Many Colors"? Very refreshing compared to our real trees, which have basically no color during the Winter. I also like your detail in the many-colored shadow of the tree. Well done! Keep imagining. "Things don't always have to be the way they are". Love, G'pa

I love this! And I love you!

I liked your stain glass pictures. The colors are so vibrant! Your quite the artist.

Hey Kiddo, I love this drawing. I feel like I'm looking through a kaleidoscope. I love the colors and the symmetry. Nice work. Love you.

Hello Ciaran --- Glad you're back in Artsonia (that's near Brazil, right?). I like your design. It's both intriguing and colorful, a hard to achieve combination. Here's a question: Did you use algebraic or geometric logic in creating your art work? Biographers will want to know! Love, G'pa

I really like this! You are a very good artist Ciaran! Love you lots!!!

I love your latest artwork. The colors and symmetry are perfect. Love you too.

Hey Ciaran, I saw your latest picture and I thought it was very creative. I like how you combined your love of WWll history with the dogs. Good job! I love and miss you.

Hello Ciaran --- Well, your latest art work is certainly interesting! It reminds me of many of the surrealistic paintings I've seen at the Art Institute in Chicago. After viewing, I would often think:"What the heck is the artist trying to 'say' here"? Let me ask you the same question. Is your theme "Dogs of War", showing the awfulness of war, but with actual dogs? That's what occurs to me. In any case -- stay creative! Love, G'pa

I loves this Ciaran!! Such a great job!

Hey Ciaran, just saw your latest work. Looks good. I like the way you incorporated the dogs with your drawing, just like the artist did. Silly me, I just thought he opened a supermarket. Just kidding. Love you.

Hello Ciaran --- At first, I had as little trouble "interpreting" your newest art work. But then I realized you were depicting a car. Am I right about that? One point, if it's my car/van you were drawing, you'd need to show the various "dings" my van has experienced over the last four years (many and varied). Again, if it's my van, how did you get the Christmas tree through the roof? Love, G'pa P.S. I liked the Peace! sign on the rear license plate. Good touch!

Wow Ciaran, I love the car! And I love your taste in cars too, Mercedes :)

I love this picture. Looks like everyone is having a good time except maybe the guy on the roof! Great holiday picture.

This is awesome, Ciaran! We love the colors - so cool. Love you!

Very cool, I love all the colors!

Hello Ciaran --- I like this art work. Very creative, colorful and kind of mysterious. Just like one of Mr. Picasso's paintings! Some questions: Is this painting representing an abstract "thing"? If "yes", what is it? If "no", what school of art have you now transitioned to? Whatever answers, my "sophisticated" opinion of the work is -- I really like it! Love, G'pa

I love this. Your colors are striking. Great job.

I love your hearts. It is so colorful. Will you be my Valentine?

This I LOVE! You're drawings keep getting better and better. I am so glad we get to see them. Love you ??????

Ciaran, This piece is fantastic! I really like the colors you chose for the ornaments. Keep up the good work buddy you are killing it! Love, Uncle Chris

This is one of my favorites, great job! Love you so much xoxoxo

Ciaran your ornaments are beautiful! I may get an ornament out of your ornament picture for my tree.

Hey buddy! We LOVE this one! The leaves on the tree are so colorful, and the shape is really cool. Keep up the good work! Love, Uncle Jay and Aunt Ashley

Beautiful tree for Fall. Love it.

Hello Ciaran --- Very sophisticated work here guy. What's your "theme"?; i.e., what are you trying to get across to the viewer. Personally, I don't think that Kandinsky really cared (but, that's just me). Of course, you care, right? And, did you know that Kandinsky was a part of the Blue Rider movement (i.e., German Expressionism -- not sure what that actually means!). Another member of that movement was Albert Bloch, who actually taught for awhile at KU. And, many of his works have been collected at a museum in Louisberg (sp?) KS. Have to go their sometime! Love, G'pa

I really love looking at all your artwork, you keep getting better and better!

Hello Ciaran --- Greetings from Lawrence! You know, Kansas is known as the Sunflower State, so I should know a lot about sunflowers (but I don't). Your art work represents a small detail of a sunflower, right? Looks good. Lots of color! Keep up the good work. Love, G'pa

Hi Ciaran, Love your latest artwork. The colors are very striking.

THAT'S AMAZINGLY CRAZY AWESOME! We love it. And we love you!

Love your new picture. Your colors are great.

Ciaran, This is awesome little man! We’re so proud of you!

Hello Ciaran129 --- Just asking, but is Ciaran129 how you sign your art work? Also, is there a Ciaran128 or 130? Wrto today's art work -- very intriguing! What Paul Klee paintings did you look at? You know, when we go to Chicago, we can see several Paul Klee paintings displayed at the Art Institute. Now, of course you are in charge of naming your work, but can I suggest a new name? How about "Tilted City with Tree"? Another question: Is that the the Mississippi River shoreline in the background? Summary comment: Another great job!!!

This one is cool! Love it! Love, Aunt Chelle

I absolutely love your artwork, Ciaran!!!

This picture is beautiful. One of your best yet. I ordered a mouse pad.
-- Grandma

I love your new picture, it's beautiful!
-- Grandma

I am 100% going to print this and hang it up. Keep up to good work kiddo :)
-- Aunt Kaity

Very nice job Ciaran. Your work seems mysterious and ethereal. BTW, that's a good thing! Just a question --- what was your artistic objective as you were creating your work of art?
-- G'pa

This is just beautiful. Love, Mom
-- Mom

How are you in 3rd grade!!! I love the colors in this, I see a magnet in Aunt Chelle's future! Love you kiddo.
-- Michelle

Wow! I love this one....I may need to get a magnet! Love you! Aunt Chelle
-- Michelle

Hello Ciaran --- This art work shows your maturity in painting as a now 8-year-old. I think it's your best painting yet. It reminds me of the bridge and pond in the garden at Monet's house in Giverny, France, that your Mom and I visited almost 25 years ago. Just FYI, a Monet painting of a haystack just sold for more than $100 million!!! So, hold on to this painting! Love, G'pa
-- James

Ciaran, Grandpa and I so enjoyed visiting Giverny. You have captured it well.
-- Mommy

Ciaran I love your latest picture. The Cardinals are beautiful and your tree is so creative
-- Grandma

Hello Ciaran --- Well, your most recent art work is certainly -- what's the word? -- intriguing; yeah, that's it. Lots of apparent symbolism, but -- what the heck does it mean? I think I'll ask you! Love, G'pa
-- James

Nice job Ciaran! I love it!
-- Aunt Chelle

I love this one so much! I may need a coffee mug of this. Great job XOXOXO Love, Aunt Chelle
-- Michelle

Hello Ciaran --- This is one of your best artistic creations! It shows an accurate portrait of what it's like in SLP/Minnesota these days. Four snow storm s in the last two weeks! And, two more are coming tonight and Thursday. How about doing a drawing of Spring-time? [With no snow!!!]. Love, G'pa
-- James

I love it. It makes me want to have a snowball fight. Great job, the trees look so real.
-- Mike

Wow Ciaran I love your picture. Each one is better than the last. Your trees look so real. Keep up the good work. Love Grandma.
-- Grandma

I love everything about this, including the title. It’s beautiful! Love, Mommy
-- Mom

I love his nose!
-- Grandma

Hello Ciaran --- I like your snowman art. It's especially appropriate for today; i.e., lots of snow! The snowman is a bit mysterious. For example -- where's the rest of him? Also, how is it that he's so much bigger than the buildings in the right-hand corner of the sketch? Is he like the giant marshmallow from "Ghostbusters"? I'm anxiously awaiting your explanations. Love, G'pa
-- G'pa

That is a very nice Snowman! Great job Ciaran!
-- Aunt Chelle

Nice nutcracker! I also love the glitter....you can never have too much glitter!!!
-- Aunt Chelle

Love your Nutcracker. Grandpa and I are going to get an ornament for our tree.
-- Grandma

Okay, this one puzzles me! If this is a rocket launch area, the rockets are way too close. (Only one successful rocket launch could be made, because the other rockets -- filled with fuel -- would blow up. Again, perhaps you have wandered into Neo-realistic Expressionism. Please enlighten me!
-- G'pa

So, Ciaran, this looks to me like a Surrealistic rendering of the Prince from the Nutcracker. Or, maybe it's depicting part of Clara's dream of the Nutcracker coming to life as a Prince. On the other hand, perhaps I should just ask you what your artistic intent was.
-- G'pa

Once again Ciaran, you've done a great job. I can almost smell the vegetables. I can't wait to see all you guys in a few weeks. I love you kiddo.
-- Mike

Hello Ciaran --- Almost T-Day greetings from Lawrence. I really like your very colorful leaf painting. Sadly, the leaves in my yard are now just kind of a drab brown. I don't think I'd like a drab brown painting very much, but who knows? Anyway, I'm glad you choose vivid color. Plus, your composition is also very well done. Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and be sure to remember what you're thankful about. Love, G'pa
-- Dr. Jimmy

Ciaran, Aunt Macky and I love this picture! It makes us hungry for Thanksgiving dinner! Keep up the good work; you're such a good artist! Love, Aunt Macky and Uncle Joe
-- Uncle Joe & Aunt Macky

Love!!!
-- Aunt Chelle

Wow! I’ve missed seeing your artwork! Can’t wait to see you bet month ??????
-- Aunt Chelle

BZZZZZ!!!
-- Uncle Joe

Loved this picture. One of your best ones yet! Love you!
-- Grandma

This one is my FAVORITE! I love all the faces on the Bees, I may need to get a coffee cup made of this for sure!
-- Aunt Chelle

I love your Cherry Blossoms. They look just like the ones here in DC.
-- Grandma

Wow Ciaran these look just the Cherry Blossoms here in DC, great job!!!
-- Aunt Chelle

Wow, this is the best one yet. Your tree looks just like the ones Grandma and I saw in Washington DC last week. Ciaran, you're doing a great job.
-- Mike

Each of your pictures are better than the last. I love them all. I wish I could have them all.
-- Grandma

WOW! Your mom is right that Lunar Module is very good, such a great job! XOXO
-- Aunt Michelle

Love your use of color and different shades of green, very well done!! XOXO
-- Aunt Michelle

Such a beautiful Easter Egg! Good job!!
-- Aunt Michelle

Ciaran!!!! Your lunar module is spot-on my friend.
-- Mom

See you soon!
-- Grandma

Wow, this picture is awesome!
-- Maryann

Love this picture. What a great shamrock! you’re so talented.
-- Maryann

Your moon reflection is so beautiful! I love that the Eiffel Tower is next to our house.
-- Jenny

Hello Ciaran --- I really like your newest art creation. Shows light in the night sky very effectively. I also like the moonlight reflections on the water. Just a question. What's the glowing night sky object just to the right of the moon? Hope it's not an incoming meteor! Love, G'pa
-- James

This is a super cool picture!! Good job Ciaran!
-- Aunt Chelle

Ciaran, I think you’re a genius!
-- Macky

Wow, that's a terrific drawing. I really like the plane. It looks like the ones that fly over Grandma and my house. Love you.
-- Mike

Love your new artwork! Is that a spaceship?
-- Maryann

Hello Ciaran --- I like the "conceptual consistency" in your Snowman creation. That is, the snowman, the trees and bushes, and the snowfall are all being blown in the same direction. "Conceptual consistency" is important, don't you think? Love, G'pa
-- James

Wow, buddy this is an amazing picture! I really like that one of the trees is white and the other two are green. I get it.
-- Uncle Joe

Ciaran, this is your best one yet. I love it so much that I think I will buy a T-shirt for Grandma.
-- Mike

Ciaran, I love your snowman art. I hope you’re looking forward to winter!!!! I am!
-- Mom

This is so good! Really gets me in the Holiday Spirit!
-- Aunt Chelle

Hey Ciaran, this is great. What a great looking owl. It reminds me of the owl grandma used to have as a pet, but he was nasty.
-- Mike

So Ciaran, you're delving into Surrealism again, or perhaps Cubism. What's the "theme" of your artwork creation? That is, what the heck is it? Love, G'pa
-- James

This is an amazing owl! It reminds me of Harry Potter's owl. Great job!
-- Macky

Another great piece of artwork! I love looking at what you do!
-- Love, Aunt Chelle

Ciaran, I love you latest artwork. It looked so real, it made me hungry, so I went to the bakery to buy an apple pie. Great job.
-- Mike

Good job on the trees, love the branches! Love Aunt Chelle
-- Michelle

I love this! I am so impressed with all three of your works and can't wait to see more! Love, Aunt Chelle
-- Michelle

Ciaran! I'm so impressed by your art. It's beautiful. Well done! Love, Macky
-- Macky

Hello Ciaran, This piece really speaks to me. I love the way you combined the rolls of papers to bring this artwork to life. It inspires hope 10/10. - Uncle Chris
-- Uncle Chris

Hello Ciaran --- I like your art work! Very creative, dipping your toe (but not your whole foot) into surrealism. Keep up your good work. Love, G'pa
-- James
