I just love the design, the combinations are amazing. What a joy to see your work becoming more sophisticated and develop over the past 2 years. Many thanks go to the stellar art program at BCWM and a teacher that I could of only dream of when I was in school. So much of what your doing wasn't available in my day. I think the title should be "Happy Patch".
-- GG

It's nice your learning about dimension and texture.
-- Virginia

Another view with many colorful details.
-- Virginia

Is this the back side of your earlier building? I recognize the pool.
-- Virginia

The use of different materials is good. I like the person looking out into the world.
-- Virginia

A contemporary building with with many modern elements, it's,a hoot.
-- Virginia

This is a sad picture showing the harm that is overhead. I wish the lower part was more visible. Can't wait to see it in person.
-- Virginia

This different shapes are interesting and the use of the many red tones really stand out.
-- Virginia

This is an interesting mix of colors. The placement of the repeated pieces make it look like an amish flower design.
-- Virginia

The question I always ask myself!
-- Judy

Interesting perspective and shadowing. Love it!
-- Judy

Great depiction, E. It is as gloomy and sad as the reality of pollution. Very good conveyance. I wonder how many people will not see it here either. "Art inspires."
-- Judy

E, This is so cool. I love the color choices. They all seem to work together so very well. Now do one in Spring colors. Great work, mister!
-- Judy

Good job on this sketch up piece
-- Robert

I like the way you made this water fountain, it looks really cool
-- Owen

awsome you must be very good at sketchup
-- luke

This is really cool this looks like the outer space.
-- luke

very awsome
-- luke

Like the colors you selected. the texture of the stars on the red and burgundy base make them feel lit, the Sun is blinding.
-- Virginia

Love the colors! This piece takes me to a dimension far, far away. Thanks for the trip!
-- Nancy

Interesting the way you link your thinking process to your work.
-- Virginia

I like your point of focus, Eli. I dare say it is different from what most individuals would choose. Keep doing photos.
-- Judy

Wow! What a perspective. This could be a cover for Architectural Digest. Great photo work.
-- Judy

This is one of my favorite things you have done this year! I just love it. Your slogan makes one stop and think which is art in and of itself! The graphic of you is superb. You are quite the artist.
-- Judy

Amazing the way the light hits the object. Leave it to you to focus on something like this.
-- Virginia

Good old NYC, I can see the cucumber got your attention.
-- Virginia

At the bottom I see what looks like part of a cat eye and ear. The colors are very happy and the water below seems to be lifting up the fish.
-- Virginia

Love the likeness as well as the placement and color. You were able to capture some details.
-- Virginia

This is one serious swimmer. Good detail, lane 6 could be lane G.
-- Virginia

I like the placement and the large person in the middle has your likeness.
-- GG

This looks like outer space to me. I see a face in the blue right hand section.
-- GG

Love the light bulb at the end as well as the detail of the plug and wiring. Each letter is so very different in design which adds interest.
-- GG

Interesting arrangement of color as well as patterns.
-- GG

Love the morning shadows at the station. The feeling I get is one of movement and action frozen in time.
-- GG

I find this both eerie and pleasing at the same time. The dark head against the flesh tones is very dramatic. The title should be "Dramatic Irony"
-- GG

Very colorful! My first impression is that of an owl.
-- GG

Since I know your love for pillows this seems very personal. Use of colors is interesting. The pattern has lots of movement.
-- GG

Love the distribution of the pattern both the background and 4-design blocks work well. This would make an interesting rug.
-- GG

This evokes happiness in me. The colors crescendo to the favorite end, yellow! Awesome.
-- Nancy

This totally creeps me out but sort of in a good way. It is eerie. Different components, like the eye glasses or the nose, pop out of the piece at different times which adds to the eerieness of it. Interesting effect. Keep developing your creativity, E.
-- Nancy

This is very cool! I very much like the red you chose to use paired with the green. Keep up the great work.
-- Nancy

I understand this is a picture of a hotel floor in New York. It looks like granite to me with the reflection of overhead lighting. You captured this in a uniform way. The difference in color from one side to the other is interesting. I almost get the feeling of outer space exploding when looking at this piece. GG

Your really hit this one on the nail. It is an interesting piece of work. I like all the New York pictures and this is among my favorite. It was shot from a great angle and it must have really spoken to you as I understand your returned to admire the elevator structure before you left the city. Leave it up to you to find something so complex to draw you back. Virginia

Love the arrangement of shapes and colors G

Eli, This is an awesome perspective! Take more photos.
-- Judy

Eli, You make some relly cool art! I love this especially the colors that you used. I cannot imagine how you did this on a computer. I know you explain it but I am not very good at computers. Maybe someday you can help me make one. Great Job!
-- Judy

I love this piece the choice of colors is good and I like the balance of the work.
-- Gg

E, This really catches the eye. The colors are wonderful and I love the design. The yellow background is awesome! Keep up the good work. Looking forward to more art from you.
-- Nancy

Another self portrait. The use of green in the background is nice as well as the way you placed the gold and red around the sides.
-- GG

I like the background color as well as the shading and the use of dark color for the hair. The shirt looks very nice.
-- GG

Eli, You are my talented great nephew. I love the bright colors during this wintery period. A lot of sunshine I see in your art. Happy!
-- Judy

E, I see why you named this "Pillow Mandala. " I want to put my head on it and rest. The colors would take me to a beautiful dream land full of sunshine and comfort. Great work.
-- Nancy

Like your background, Eli...it's really interesting with the colors you chose and the stripe action on the sides. I like that you are off center in the portrait too. The pose is interesting as well. You should try a portrait every month and then have a series of 12 at the end of the year! That could be a cool project.
-- AG

this reminds me of Keith Harings work a little bit...like your Mandala Pillow...that is an interesting take on a mandala and actually might be fun to make from this drawing. We should try to do that one day!
-- AG

I picked you out without a problem. I really like your faces collage.

Interesting what you cn do on the computer. This looks like it could be a Christmas card. Love the choice of colors. G

E, I like this very much. I do not think you intended this but it looks like white smoke is coming from the top of Snowie's hat! I wonder if Snowie is just letting off steam! Too much shopping! Great job. N
-- Nancy

Happy snow! Love the sky colors and you use of aqua. Looks like the snow person wants a hug!
-- Judy

Like the use of color from frame to frame. It's nice to see you using the computer to present your art work. G

Eli, you are really mastering this methodology. I am so impressed with this piece. Keep up your strong use of color because I just love it!
-- Judy

I love the bright colors on this dreary day. You brightened my world today, Eli. Thank you.
-- Nancy

This is an interesting art form. I like the black and white contrast that allows for the details to show. Keep up the good work.
-- GG

I like the black and white. I see so many different things in this art ...a face, a couple of legs with feet attached, a crescent moon, a fish, etc. I first saw a dinosaur looking at the whole piece. This is fun for me. I looked up what a notan is and how to create one. Someday soon I too am going to make one. Maybe you can help me. I really love this creation! Good job, Eli.
-- Judy

I hear the music!
-- Judy

Great print with good enegy. I can feel the music.
-- Virginia

I love your print "Trombone Player". Guessing this must be a self portrait. Looks like the player is belting out an exciting song. The lines and background add to the energy of the work.
-- GG

This work almost looks like a coat of arms. The white acts like a stark background against the dark colors. Would love to see you attempt this again.
-- GG

I like the way you used both vivid and dark colors. The bit of turquoise at the end of the hall is interesting.
-- GG

I do like the warm colors set apart from the cool colors. G

E, Interesting choice of colors.
-- Judy

Great job, Eli. I know this was a challenge for you but you sure conquered it with a few simple rules... This hallway has an ominous feeling kind of like in Dr. Who sometimes. I kind of feel like something will pop out of the lockers on the wall at any moment.
-- Amy

This piece has so much going for it. I love the detail in the branches as well as the paint on the some of the leaves. The leaves kind of sparkle, just like they did that morning. The dimensional aspect of this work really makes it come alive.
-- GG

You sure got the hang of perspective. I enjoy looking at all the details in the hallway. I know you'll be using what you learned from this assignment in your upcomming art work.
-- GG

This is pretty neat. I like the use of different media. It gives a lot of dimension to the work. Kudos to the teacher for inspiring her artists!
-- Nancy

Nice work, Eli. I like you use of tissue paper for dimension.
-- Judy

Eli, WOW! I love everything about this piece. This will hang somewhere in my home as soon as I find a spot worthy of it. The colors are so beautiful. The concept of "2 Universes, 1 Sun" is dramatically depicted here; an awesome name for an awesome piece! Did you ever read The Little Prince? This very much reminds me of the Prince's stars, universes, and travels. Keep on developing your art brain.
-- Nancy

Eli, This piece speaks to me. It makes me feel all "mystical" inside. I am very drawn to your color selection and the effects you created. I very much appreciate that in your artist's statement you shared how you created this beautiful piece of art!
-- Judy

This is an interesting piece, I like the dimensional aspect and they way it pulls you beyond the surface. The selection of colors is very interesting and I especially like the highlight in the top left hand corner. Keep up the good work with Photoshop.
-- GG

Eli! This is great...and so professional looking. We'll have to work on Photoshop together when I get back. You can teach me a few things and I can teach you a few things. I have some great books too at home with more tips and tools...
-- amy

This is a sparkling happy piece. The mixture of clear bright color along with muted tones create a nice balance. It looks like your able to place the color where you want it and not overwork the paint.

Eli this is an interesting piece. I like the energy it gives off. The use of red and yellow as well as the black line areas give in a nice dimensions.

Like the use of salt and the color washes/blending. The pop of yellow is really effective. I really love the lower left and upper left border washes too. Leaving some white space relieves the eye as well... Great JOB!
-- Amy

The piece makes me feel happy I like the way you wove the colors and especially love the green outer curled edge. the center is interesting especially since you selected yellow to surround the area. G

Eli, This reminds of crocheted yarn. You know how I love crocheting. All the colors together are awesome.
-- Judy

I absolutely love this. The colors are so bright and happy. It looks quite intricate. Nice work.
-- Nancy

Really cool, Eli. It reminds me of a groovy postage stamp in a way...you did a great job with the colors and design elements. I really love the arrows and the placement of the text. Hands are super hard to draw and you did a great job. Did you make up that quote or did someone else say it?
-- Amy

Eli, You are the first thing I notice. The colors are nice. I like your words.
-- Judy

E, Great thought. I feel a flow through the piece which i find really neat. Your designs are interesting. I think I see bowties!
-- Nancy

This piece is interesting. I like all the colors, especially the placement. The various designs and how you choose to lay them in the work grab attention. Keep up with the planning as it has paid off in this artwork.
-- GG

Dude, way too cool!
-- Judy

Yale, here I come! Intense yet happy looking dude. Nice job!
-- Nancy

Love the intense use of color and contrast. The white collar on the shirt is interesting against the dark shirt. This Dud looks hip, confident and ready to take on the world. The work has positive happy attitude.
-- GG

I see an animal theme going on in this piece. I like the background color that was selected. The hamburger and kitten anchor the work nicely.
-- GG

E, You really knocked my socks off with this self portrait. Love all the colors as well as the way you treated the background. The use of black in the left top gave the work a special touch.
-- GG

Really LOVE this one Eli...I want to frame it when I get home!
-- AG

Eli, This is a very different image of you! I think your color choice is interesting. Is this going to be the picture of you in the yearbook?
-- Judy

Very interesting. It seems to become more complex with the use of color. Cannot wait to see the school project!
-- Nancy

Eli; This is a wondful use of color. I like the font you selected and the black background makes the colors interesting. GG
-- GG

Cool graffiti name. Reminds me of New York City. I see this a lot in different neighborhoods!
-- ag

E, Your artist's statement adds so much more dimension to your art piece. I like the elements of you that you chose to be reflected here ( Minecraft, fishing, and bowling). I think it is significant that the first and largest letter is depicted by your favorite game! Fun.
-- Nancy

Pretty neat Eli. Your artist's statement tells me this is really you since the themes chosen for each letter are all very much some of your favorite things. Good job!
-- Judy

Eli, I like this very much. It reminds me of stained glass art which I love! Your choice of colors draws me into the piece. Keep up the good work!
-- Nancy

Eli, I very much like the colors you chose for your graffitti. This piece is very eye-catching. I think it would make a great poster for framing.
-- Judy

Groovy bowl, Eli! Glad you are doing such great work in art class...
-- ag

Love the shape and texture of your bowl. It almost looks like a pearl. G
-- GG

A bowl for all the "free rice!" Neat.
-- Nancy

Eli, Nice job!
-- Judy

Reminds me a little of "The Little Shop of Horrors." Nice work, Eli!
-- Nancy

Love the City Scape, especially the road. Keep up the good work. G
-- GG

Looking at this piece of your art makes me feel happy. I really like your use of color. Keep up the great work!
-- Judy

Wonderful use of color. The texture made the colors "pop" for me. The piece is a true reflection of the artist's persona. Great work, Eli.
-- Nancy

E, I have been one of the lucky people in this world who has seen you use your creativity in so very many ways. Your quote truly fits you. Your creativity has grown from one little seed when you were 2 years old to a vast field of wild flowers. I love your use of color and design in this piece. I had to really focus on the piece to read the quote. That totally drew me into this work of art. Excellent work. Keep it up. Some day I may see your creativity shown at Art Prize!

-- Nancy

Loved the detail in his expression! Did he find the subway?
-- Kathie

Background colors are interesting. I like the bow tie. I would add "favorite nephew" to your descriptives!

Polka dots and bow tie ..... I think you captured a couple essential Eli faves!

Cool drawing Eli! Nice perspective...
