This is so swirly and fancy! Have you ever thought of adding color to it? I think it would be amazing with it!
-- Mrs. Wellington

What a lovely dancer!
-- Rebekah

This is a favorite of mine. It always has been. Great job, Gretchen!
-- Mrs. K

Big and bold and bright, this little lady looks very cheerful.
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, I really like this one. It seems that your art work is improving and showing more variety. This is a good example.
-- Mrs. K

Oh Gretchen, I was so intrigued as you made this. I had no idea they were going to turn into flowers. I love the finished product!
-- Mrs. K

Oh Gretchen, you are creative! I love this.
-- Mrs. K

Hi Gretchen, Love your artwork. Is that a blueberry on top? Love from the Gruncles!
-- Beth-Marie

Gretchen, this is cool. I didn't think about coloring it in this way. You are very creative.
-- Mrs. K

This is so cute, Gretchen. Thanks for coloring it in! I like your statement too.
-- Mrs. K

Hey Gretchen- this is really nice! Looks like a puffer fish maybe? I really like it blowing bubbles and swimming in a sea of happiness!
-- Denise

Wow, Gretchen! I'm so impressed with your progress in drawing people. You have a good sense of proportion and color. And the dresses are very pretty!
-- Denise

This one looks like candy!
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, you are so imaginative. I love all your little statements. If I were a dandelion, I wouldn't want to lose my hair either!
-- Mrs. K

Oh my gosh, Gretchen! I just jumped onto artsonia to see what was new and here was YOUR PICTURE on the HOME PAGE for all the world to see!!! I'm so proud of you. Not only was it fun to see your picture there, but it was like, "Oh, that's Gretchen's!!!" AND I LOVE that you turned Minnesota into a bird. SO CUTE!!!
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, this is one of my favorites of all the wire hearts.
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, this is one of my very favorites of yours. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
-- Mrs. K

Now this one-oh my gosh! Every time I look at it I like it.
-- Mrs. K

This one is so unusual. It looks oriental to me because of the shape and the background color. Way to go, Gretchen. Keep up the good work, you creative girl, you!
-- Mrs. K

I love, love, love that you drew here a flower with a complex shape.
-- Mrs. K

The petals are the best. They look delicate and so friendly.
-- Mrs. K

I like this one too. The shape is cool.
-- Mrs. K

You know, this ended up being one of my favorites. You are very creative, Gretchen. I would never have thought of building the flower as you did here. Great job!
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, I like the way the pink background radiates out from the flower. It accentuates the flower as the crowing beauty!
-- Mrs. K

Hi Gretchen~ I love the detailed work on your beautiful drawing. You have really captured the world of this fish...I can see how the frilly fringy fins give the impression of floating in water. Uncle Tom and I have a blue fish in a big bowl in the middle of our kitchen table: Deja Blue has his meals with us, and swims to the side when we are near. His long silky blue fins look just like your drawing. As Dory, Nemo's blue friend said: "Keep on swimming!" Love from Love from Auntie Beth and Uncle Tom.
-- Auntie Beth

Gretchen, I really like this one. You did a great job and her hair is lovely. : ) I hope she enjoys her time at the ball.
-- Mrs. K

I really like this particular flower picture. The flower looks almost like it's surfing in the sunshine, the leaves remind me of arms balancing to catch the sun. The dark dots remind me the surf spray or on a flower maybe little flying insects like gnats and bees.
-- Denise

Great horse drawing, Gretchen. He/she looks like they are excited to have just seen their person and is running in to get fed and brushed.
-- Denise

Your flowers are lovely, it looks like Spring is coming soon! These would be lovely to show at Easter time. I love your artwork. Grandma
-- Jill

I LOVE the color here, thanks to your grandma's gift of new pastel crayons. It looks great!
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, it is when you do work like this that I know you are on your way to better and better artistry. To be successful at new artwork, you have to try new shapes. Boy, did you do that here! Keep up the good work. Your horse has a lot of character.
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, I agree with you about the mane. You really captured it.
-- Mrs. K

And this one was super fun-you turned a worksheet into a piece of art. Every time I saw it on my desk its vibrant colors made me feel happy. Way to go, Gretchen. That reminds me of a time a few years ago when I taught the students of that year to paint. We then put their paintings up ALL OVER THE WALLS! When I walked in it felt like LIFE-THEIR LIFE-vibrant and fresh. That's you too with your work, Gretchen.
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, you are so clever! I love this graduation hat. It's very creative. The tassel too. wow!
-- Mrs. K

The fingernail polish is great.......it reminds me of someone I know very well! Love, Grandma
-- Jill

Gretchen, there is something different about this image. For one thing, it's your background. It is very measured and precise and bold. I like the new look! Keep it up! This one shows real development. I can't wait to see what else you do this year and beyond.
-- Mrs. K

Thank you for my beautiful card. I had a GREAT birthday!
-- Mama

WOW, your fish are great! The starfish and the jellyfish are wonderful. I know you love to draw and we love to see your artwork. Love, Grandma
-- Jill

He looks very friendly! : )
-- Mrs. K

That birdie better open her eyes! Otherwise that juicy worm is going to wiggle right on by! She'd be really sad if that happened, I bet.
-- Mama

Hi Gretchen! I love all your artwork - you are very talented. Love, Auntie
-- Haili

This Seahorse is beautiful- especially together with your Jellyfish. I love sea creatures!:)
-- Denise

I LOVE this Jellyfish, Gretchen!! Not sure which I like more- this or the Seahorse. Both are wonderful.
-- Denise

Nice starfish!
-- Denise

I think it's great when the sun is silly! I'm so glad to know that the sun has a clown face. A clown face helps the sun from being too serious because we all know being too serious is just SOOOOOOO boring!
-- Mama

I like this tree a lot! It looks like it should be in a storybook about a place where the trees grow with many levels so all the creatures who live there have a safe place to call home.
-- Mama

That Mrs. K looks so snazzy! Those are some cool shoes. She looks like a really fun teacher. And I bet she really loves her students. I can tell because you drew a heart in her sweater.
-- Mama

Does this girl have magical shoes? I bet she can run REALLY fast with those magic shoes! And I like her shirt! Where can I buy one, do you think?
-- Mama

Hey! Is that Lucky? It can't possibly be Tigger because he's a grumpus and your kitty is smiling. Whoever it is, that kitty has a very handsome tail!
-- Mama

At first I thought this was a picture of your brother as Super Hudie! It looks like the person has their superhero cape flaring out behind him. I like it!
-- Mama

Super cool! makes me happy looking at it. :)
-- Denise

Excellent! prawn or shrimp? you captured it wonderfully, Gretchen.
-- Denise

Beautiful work, Gretchen. Such nice use of colors, contrast and balance and fantastic creatures. :)
-- Denise

I love this, Gretchen. :)
-- Denise

Gretchen, I sent a copy of this picture you did to your cousin Luke! It was on a postcard. I know he is going to love it!
-- Grandma

Gretchen, thank you for making me look pretty!!! It makes me feel good. She is adorable!!!
-- Mrs. K

Adorable! Love the hair!
-- Mrs.K

Your people are well formed and very colorful. I am impressed!
-- Mrs. K

So cute. I was surprised again when you brought this one in. And its size-HUGH!!!
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, when you brought this puppet in I couldn't take my eyes off it. Truly this is one of my favorites of your work. You keep amazing me with your artistic creativity and flair! Way to go, Gretchen! Don't think. Just do. (You can ask your mom or grandma what this means.)
-- Mrs. K

Oh, Gretchen, thank you for trying my idea and putting her in pants! This is a girl with a new, sporty look. I think she is adorable-her outfit and her hair. You are one fine artist!!!
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, I'm glad Josephine brought this to me so we could put it in this gallery. You did a great job!!! I love this fairy!!!
-- Mrs. K

Nice work! Did you mean to put what looks like fake eyes? Just like some of the real creatures. Self protection. Fooling their predators into thinking they are being watched! Very clever, Gretchen!
-- Mrs. K

Gretchen, this little guy is so cute!
-- Mrs. K

What beautiful colors you used to finish this picture, Gretchen!
-- Mama

Your puppet is so creative, Gretchen!
-- Mama

What a cute pig! I LOVE it :)
-- Mama

Hi Gretchen! Wow, your own artwork web page! I really enjoyed viewing all of your artwork, and especially loved "Snuggy". I also loved your art work that looks like a ballerina, and how you she is two dimensional. Keep up the wonderful work! Love from Auntie Beth
-- Beth

Your butterfly looks happy playing in the sun, Gretchen. I think it is cheerful.
-- Mrs. K

I liked this piece you did so much I just had to get a closeup! Do you like seeing it here, Gretchen? You are such a talented artist!!!
-- Mrs. K

Oh Gretchen, your little guy is so cute!
-- Mrs. K

When I look at this my eyes are drawn to the sun. This picture shows that an artist can draw our attention to one particular part or aspect of his or her work. You do that well, while still filling in the entire picture with colorful detail. I love your artwork, Gretchen!
-- Mrs. K

I LOVE all your beautiful artwork! You are the best girl and so artistic.
-- Grandma

Gretchen, I was really happy with how this turned out. And your little story is cute! Keep up the good work, you talented artist, you!
-- Mrs. K

I love your butterfly birds! (That's what they look like to me, anyway!)
-- Mrs. Wellington
