I like how you used her art to decorate your mask.

Nicely done, Ava. Very “girly!” (Hope that’s OK to say.)

What a fun project, Ava! Well done.

Fun project, Ava! Love the eyebrows.

Hi, Ava! Your piece reminds me of a windmill — and it almost gives the illusion of turning if you look at it for a while. Well done!

Nice work, Ava. Love the crazy shapes. Have a great Christmas!

Hi, Ava! I love the big sunbeams and your wacky white tree! It almost looks like two of the branches are talking to each other. Can't wait to see you for Thanksgiving!

Ava, your “spooky” eye is really quite lovely. I like your soft colors and the amount of time you must have spent drawing all those lines in the iris.

Yummy!

Hi, Ava! What a fun painting! I like how the colored sprays bring out the brushes without covering them up and the little brush strokes highlight each brush’s color. Very nice work!

Hey, Ava! Your beautiful drawing is a worthy successor to another great female artist, Georgia O’Keefe! Maybe someday, school kids will be inspired by your art!

Ava, I love the “pig nose” on the side. Is there one one the other side for handles?

Nifty job, Ava! I like that you chose to do it all in black and white. Colors can be beautiful, but sometimes simple black and white is best. As I said to Carter, sometime you'll have to tell me how you made the print. A long time ago, I made a print by carving on a wooden block covered with linoleum, but I'm guessing you did it a different way? Love, Papa Bob

Ava, your hearts look like they are floating up, so they can travel to Wisconsin. Your colors are great and make perfect hearts.

Hi, Ava! I love the contrast between the white table and the gray wall behind your box. Was that your idea? Great colors for your hearts! ?? Love you!

Hi, Ava Grace! I’m guessing these are blueberry, strawberry, and banana. What flavors were you thinking of? They make me hungry!

Hi, Ava! I love his long, skinny legs … sort of like yours maybe? Hope you guys had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Sorry we couldn’t make it out there.

Colorful, thin nutcracker. Good job. Love, grandma

Wow,Ava! Your colors and design are striking. Gramma Linda.

Wow,Ava! Your colors and design are striking. Gramma Linda.

Hi again, Ava! What a clever way to display a color wheel! Where on the wheel is YOUR eye color?!

Ava, your ceramic hand is really well done, but I was SO hoping it was a cookie for me!!

Hi, Ava! Isn’t it interesting to see how colors look different depending on which colors they’re next to! Nice work!

Fun, Ava. The stem almost looks like a candy kiss! Yum!

Ava, you are becoming quite an artist! I love the little designs on most of the bottles - and the fact that you left every other one plain. Great design instincts.

Wow! How many pinkish flavors can you think of? Raspberry, strawberry, rhubarb, peppermint, radish, watermelon, cherry, frosting. What are your flavors? Makes me want a cool ice cream!

Hi again, Ava! As always I love your colors — the pink dog against the blue sky and green grass. So simple but they all fit together. A few years ago, we were at a restaurant in Houston with Dominic, and a balloon artist was going around to the tables. I think Dominic got a dog similar to yours!

Hi, Ava! While you and your friends were out playing, Carter and I looked at your latest art projects. So cool! And, as always, you pick the neatest colors. But for me the best part was being able to hold it and see all the detailed stampings. Great work!

Hi, Ava! I’ve decided that you must be a purple girl! You’ve painted a very nice 3. How does it feel to be a third grader?

Nice work, Ava. Can you remember — a couple of years ago — that we visited a friend of ours house out in the country. Stan is a geologist, a person who studies rocks, and had some real geodes. They are so beautiful. Hopefully, it won't be too long before Gramma and I can see you again!! Love, Papa Bob

Hi, Ava! I think your Eiffel Tower looks like an Eiffel Chair! Maybe your Dad could make you one for your room ?? Thanks for your thank you card! Always nice to get them. Love you

Very creative, Ava. I’ve seen dogs with different colored eyes, but yours is the first cat like that I’ve seen. Fun! Lots of love, Papa Bob. Miss you guys.

Hi, Ava! I wish I could see your original (and someday I will!), but I like how you've tied the pink up-and-down lines with the color of the birds. Everything just fits together, doesn't it? Love, Papa Bob

Ava, you made Papa gingerbread cookies, too! Yours have blonde hair like you. Lovely and creative.

Gingerbread girls! That’s great. I just finished eating a gingerbread man that Gramma just bought, but yours looked good enough to eat!

Beautifully done, Ava. I really like the purple colors and how they contrast with the others.

Hi again, Ava! What a fun and colorful lava lamp! Have you ever seen an actual lava lamp? We had one years ago, but I don’t know what happened to it.

Ava, makes me happy. Is she a dancer like you? Great colors.

Ooo. Nice design and colors, Ava

Ava, was that your idea to use different shades of purple? It really turned out beautifully! You have a good eye for color.

Hi, Ava! You got the Tim Burton “big eyes” just right! Have you watched any of his shows on Netflix?

Ava, is that a ghost hiding in your pumpkin? Or maybe a black cat? Either way, what a fun picture!

Hi, Ava! What a clever way to draw this. I love that drooping flower! I would not have thought to do that.

Ava, I hope you’re enjoying the third grade! I can’t believe you’re getting that old. I love the bright colors in your latest project. They look great together. Love you! Hope we can see you “for real” soon!

Hi, Ava. Honest Abe doesn’t look very happy, does he? I bet he has a lot on his mind. I like your flag in the background. Love you!

Nice job, Ava. Did you enjoy doing the sewing?

Wow, Ava! Nice job of balancing your four designs. I really like how water colors work.

Way to go, Ava, for showing that girls and women can make great scientists! Maybe you could be a scientist like my mother was.

Ava, your tree artwork is beautiful!

Wow, Ava, I love the colors of your acorns.

Hi, Ava. I see a sock, a high heel shoe, and a goose in your shapes. What do you see?

Ava, I love your spider! Looks like he’s busy with his web.

Wow, Ava, what a “positive” picture! ??

Ava, what a cute cat!

Well done, Ava. As I told Carter, I just figured out that it's a picture of Alphabet Soup! Sometimes Grampas are a little slow!

Fun picture, Ava. Is that fingerpaint? I like the textures.
-- Papa Bob

Ava, I love how you’ve used colors in your picture. They fit together beautifully.
-- Papa Bob

Hi, Ava! This is a really neat Easter wreath! You'll have to see Gramma's spring wreath that she made for the back porch of our house. See you soon!
-- Papa Bob

Cool picture, Ava. Next time we are there, you can explain it to me.
-- Papa Bob

Ava, you’ll have to tell me about this when we come and see you soon! Very nice work.
-- Papa Bob

Ava, cute cardinal. What fun!
-- Papa Bob

Ava, this is a very clever drawing. I love the triangles.
-- Papa Bob

Happy Valentines Day, Ava!

Ava, I love your moose! He's looking right at me! Do you have moose in South Dakota?
-- Pappa Bob

Wow! Such a happy, friendly winter penguin. Makes me smile, Ava.

Really cute, Ava! I love the ice skates.
