Hi, Elana! Your poster will surely help in the capture of the Bad Bandits. I love the boldness of the caption and the extra emphasis on the definite article "THE". So good! He'll not be geting away with his mischief much longer. All thanks to you. I also apprecite your slightly-off placement of the two photos. It provides visual appeal and interest to your already-so-great depiction of the scoundrel. YOU, my dear, need to be rewarded for the capture. Mom Dad $$$ lol

Proverbs 4:25 ESV / "Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you." And that is what you do, Elana. You look to the Lord for guidance, direction, love. Beautiful verse. AND...such a beautiful drawing.

Elana, I see that a ninja is a person who is expert or highly skilled in a specified field or activity; and then I see your "ninja star origami". Case closed. You, my dear, are the ninja of ninjas. Wow.

Zentangles. The word itself is interesting, and the ones you actually produced live up to its zing of a name. The lines, dots, colors, and curves you drew do provide the whimsy of this art form. So, Elana, "doodle" on. I'm lovin' it.

"As a teacher, by your students you'll be taught." And, didn't you, my sweet and so fabulous great-great-niece teach me about impasto as an art form. You are following in Van Gogh's footsteps, I see. A very good place in which to be artistically. I love the extra layering of paint and the locations in which you placed them. Great talent. You "gogh", girl. You GOGH! xoxo

Oh, Elana, what an interesting drawing. The two are so in sync with each other. And I love the freckles. :) I am drawn to the eyes of both. They, too, are telling. You truly have a God-given-gift and you are sharing it, not hiding it under a bushel. Yay, you! Love you, Sweetie.

Yep. For sure. Elana, you ARE amongst the stars. "He counts the stars and calls them all by name." (Psalm 147:4) And you do answer. Bless you.

Amaaaazing! Just like you, Elana.
Posted 2 years ago by Rita
Wow, Elana. I am impressed with your perspective drawing. Soo good! Just like the "perspective" you have about life: "When you wake up every day, you have two choices. You can either be positive or negative; an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist. It's all a matter of perspective. "~Harvey Mackay You go, girl, you go!

Oh, Elana! You continue to amze me. I see a - perhaps - hidden message in this recent art work of yours. The container part of the basket reminds me of a pumpkin face. A fun one. Just like you.

Hey Elana! This is truly awesome! You did an excellent job. Looks like Grammie will have to buy the jewelry snap for her necklace. Lol.

I love this. Looks so relaxing. Remember how UG and I would push you on the swing when we babysat? Good times.

Hi Elana! What a beautiful piece of art work you have made. Once again, I love your colors and unique designs.
Posted 3 years ago by Lynn Grammie
How beautiful. Swinging is so relaxing. Your drawing shows that, Elana.I love how her scarf and skirt blow in the breeze caused by the air motion of her swinging. You notice and depict so many details in your work. You inspire UG and me.

Hey Elana! Grandma and I love this picture! How beautiful! I would love to be that lady on the swing. Amazing job!

Wow. I am really impressed, Elana. Only seven years old and already learning about Faith Ringgold and her story quilts. I see you, your dad, and your mom in the center of the quilt. Are you entering your home? The stable in Bethlehem? And the fringe? Filled with things/stickers that make you happy? I would love to hear your story of your first quilt, Elana. You are a great story teller, an amazing artist, and the best great-great niece in the whooooole wide world. UG and I love you. A lot. Draw on!

Elana, sweet Elana. Your emoji art work is very appropriate for Valentine's 2020. We need more love in our so-politically-challenged country right now. 1) We need to "see others with love": You used HEARTS for eyes with which to see. 2) We need to give more respect, more help to one another: You used ARMS to connect with what one sees with love and then to reach out and help one another. 3) And all this with the use of primary colors: Well, it makes BASIC sense as good Americans to see and do this, right? 4) Uncle and I love you to the (yellow) MOON and back. Another winner! xoxo

Another winner! I love the long eyelashes: Reminds me to shield my eyes from things that would not be good for my soul. I love the multi- colored background: Reminds me to love people of all colors/races. I love the longer neck: Reminds me to stick mine out for one in need. Oh, Elana, Uncle Gerry and I miss you so much and are happy to be reminded of the many and so wonderful facets of YOU through your art work. Good job, sweetie. We love you. xoxo

What a great drawing of a super great story by Eric Carle: The Grouchy Ladybug. Colorful. Precisely placed spots. I love that you share your art and your heart with so many, Elana. You are more like the Gentle Ladybug in the story. Winner. Yay for you. We love you and, like the Gentle Ladybug, we will save some aphids for you for breakfast. Oh? You prefer pancakes. Will do. Stay gentle. xoxo

You continue to amaze me, Little One. I am eager to hear all about this painting from YOU. It reminds me of life: sun, clouds, rain, growth, rainbow, flower, and the little one on the flower who spreads the seed for new life. And, there YOU are. Hands raised up to the sky. I know to Whom you are talking. The Master of the universe. What a beautiful world. You are in it. Love you, Elana. (Sister-Sister Rita)

Oh, Elana! How nice to see a leaf when all of ours have floated away from our trees and nestled together on the ground. Remember all the fun we had in our leaf piles? They were beautiful.

Oh, Elana, I love the smile on your scarecrow. Just like yours: Big, sincere, welcoming. We are enjoying your art work. Your sky intrigues me. Tell me about it when I see you. You are very creative. That is, indeed, a gift from God. Keep on coloring.

Oh, Elana! How magical you are. The reality of caterpillars traveling in a straight line - each little bugger's body all straight too - while interesting, is not as much of a WOW as the little feller you drew. I love the smile and the conga your caterpillar seems to be doing. How creative! Caterpillars grow up and change into butterflies or moths. What an adventure it is for us to watch you grow and change but still stay so loving, intelligent and creative! Grow on! One, two , three la conga! You can dance it with Mom and Dad in honor of your Caterpillar - Line drawing. P.S. What did you name your caterpillar? *wink-wink*
