Wow! The back looks like a leather boot. Were you trying for that effect?

Really clever, Carter!

What a fun picture, Carter! Are those potato prints?

Hi, Carter! I love the colors you've used. Ordinarily, I wouldn't have thought tan would work, but it ties everything together beautifully. Great job!

Great work, Carter. So wonderful to be with you at Thanksgiving.

Hi, Carter! I love your selection of colors for the sun's rays! Very subtle blending. Can't wait to see you for Thanksgiving!

What a fun project, Carter. Just like its name, it’s spooky, and it looks like a real eye — maybe like mine when I don’t get enough sleep!

Fun! Can I eat it??

Carter, there is so much to enjoy about this painting! The randomness of the brushes (ask your folks, if you don’t know what that means), the little shadows under each brush, the color highlights. Well done!

Love all the colors, Carter. You’ve got a good eye for color!

Carter, I love this “dreamy” picture, especially the contrast between the blues and oranges.

What a fun project, Carter! I’ll have to see this one in person to really appreciate it, but I love your choice of colors outside and in!

Hi, Carter! I love how you repeated the same characters on the red layer and the outer layer. Sometime you'll have to tell me how you made the print. A long time ago, I made a print by carving in a wooden block covered with linoleum, but I'm guessing you did it a different way? Love, Papa Bob

Hey, Carter. I love seeing your artwork. Your box looks like it’s bursting with love. The colors are colorful and friendly. Thanks for sharing,

Hey, Carter! Nice job getting the “perspective” right on your box! Gramma and I were just watching a TV show on the Renaissance, when they figured out how to do that. Love you!

So, Carter: It’s hard for me to tell — are these really 3D candy canes, or do they look so realistic because of the way you shaded them? Either way, nicely done!

Carter, you’re a nutcracker collector, aren’t you? At least you like them. No wonder you did such a good job on this one!

Wow, Carter. You have a nut cracker! Nicely done. Love, grandma.

Nice work, Carter! So I’m curious — did you cut out the ceramic pieces or did your teacher stamp them out for you? I like the circles on your heart.

Hey, Carter! I love color wheels, but yours has lots of cool extra stuff. Did you notice that the Packers colors are right next to each other?

We’ll done, Carter. I can’t quite tell how you made the round prints on the “ribs” of the pumpkin. Is that paint splotches thinned with water?

Hi, Carter! I love all the parallel lines at the top of your painting. And what a cool contrast with the checkerboard lines at the bottom!

Hey, Carter, this looks SO yummy. But where’s my cherry vanilla? ??

Hi, Carter! What a fun picture. I hope you had a good time making it. I can't tell — is it painted? Have you ever watched a balloon artist making something? They are so creative … like YOU!

Wow, Carter, it took me a while to figure this one out! But once I realized that all those triangles made the tree, it all made sense! I’m sure it’s clearer in person. Again, I love the colors you’ve used.

Hey, Carter! You already know how I feel about this art project because we looked at it TOGETHER at your house ... finally!! And as good as the picture is, being able to hold it and look at it in person is so much better!!

Hey, Carter! Isn’t it neat that you can use all those different colors, and yet we can still see the 3 that’s hidden there?! Nice job.

Wow, Carter. Do you remember going to see some real geodes at a house out in the country when you were visiting here? One of our friends is a geologist — a guy who studies rocks. I hope it's not too long until we can see you again! Love, Papa Bob

Hey, Carter! A very “hip” version of the Eiffel Tower! (You can ask your parents what that means if you’re not sure)! And thanks for your thank you note! Love you!

Hi, Carter! You've done a really good job of using color (including the white snow) to make your birds stand out. I enjoy looking at all your art work. Love, Papa Bob

Yum, Carter. These are papa’s favorite. Thanks for making them as I have not made any this year.

Fun, Carter. Are those gingerbread cookies made from block prints? Nicely decorated.

Carter, this is amazing! I feel like it's Christmas already!

Hi, Carter. It looks like I could plug in your lava lamp and turn it on! I like the light shading on the blue part - it makes it look very real.

Who is this winter guy? He looks warm

Carter, I love your art. Great colors and designs.

Hi, Carter! This really looks like some old fashioned maize that I’ve seen. Did you work from a picture or make this up in your mind? Either way, our squirrels here would love to have some to eat!

Hi, Carter! Before I knew this was a self-portrait, I thought it looked just like you! My favorite Tim Burton movie is “Beetlejuice.” What’s yours?

Carter, what fun! He looks surprised about something!

Carter, I really like the background colors in your picture - and how the all blend together. Nicely done!

Hi, Carter! Did you choose the colors? You have a good eye for color! I love seeing your pieces.

Carter, I like your neat stitching. When I was young I used to do needlework and even had my own sewing machine!

Hey, Carter, what a great picture of President Lincoln. I knew right away who he was. His crooked bow tie is perfect!

Carter, was it fun to sew the yarn for this project? A little like LEGOs with yarn.

Carter, I love your choice of reds for your project.

Hi, Carter! What interesting designs. I like how the water colors blend together.

Carter, this is a really well-drawn picture. Have you thought about becoming a scientist like my mother was?

Wow, Carter, a whole forest! Nicely done.

Carter, I like that all your acorn tops are so different. Nicely done.

What interesting shapes, Carter. Nice work!

I look forward to the e-mails that say "Carter has new artwork to view." I love this spider & web...the primary colors really pop!

Nice spider, Carter! He looks scary!

I love your cat’s eyes, Carter!

Wow, Carter, what a cool pigeon. He’s got his eye on me!

I just got it, Carter — Alphabet soup! Clever!

Well done, Carter. I like all your colors.

Hi, Carter. What a happy looking neighborhood! I like your picture.
-- Papa Bob

Nice work, Carter. I like all the colors you used. Gramma also made a spring wreath. You can see it on our back door at the house when you come. See you soon!
-- Papa Bob

What an interesting picture, Carter. You’ll have to tell me about it sometime!
-- Papa Bob

Carter, what a great face on your person! See you soon.
-- Papa Bob

What a happy snowman! I just got inside after cleaning all the snow from our walks and driveway. We could make a whole bunch of snowmen with all the snow I’ve blown off the past few days — and more to come!
-- Papa Bob

Carter, your cardinal is really cute! I like the snow in his birdbath.
-- Papa Bob

This guy makes me smile! Thanks
-- Gramma

Artistic shadows, Carter.
-- Gramma

loved your heart animals, Carter.
-- Linda

Carter, I really enjoyed looking at your February fox. Is that snow falling? Even some of the snowflakes are in the shape of triangles!
-- Papa Bob

Happy Valentines Day, Carter.
-- Papa Bob

Wow, Carter. That is very clever! Love it.
-- Pappa Bob

Carter, very cool Moose! Have you ever seen a real moose?
-- Papa Bob

Carter, that’s a really great snowman!
