Very nice - I see the dolphin and the bear. Is the center figure the marshmallow? I'm curious to why these three subjects in one picture. I'd love to know the backstory!

Really like the colors you chose. Looks like a lovely place to go and relax. Keep up the good work.

What a cool piece, I love the smile! It looks like a happy sea creature!
- Karen on March 2, 2022
I feel like I am under the sea with them. Great job!

What a great picture, I love the colors!

response from Declan:
Yes, Daddy is sitting in my baseball mitt chair. Hippo is in bed with me. The S stands for "silently". So we "Drop Everything And Read Silently"! I am fast during our walks so I am out in front. -Declan

What a great piece, not only is it artistically interesting, it’s also scientific! You and Dad do come up with some interesting projects! Miss you!
- Karen on June 21, 2020
This feels very communal (a gathering of friends) Yet I also sense an island feel with birds flying around. Very peaceful!
- Grandbee on June 21, 2020
I like this piece too. It says celebration and the colors remind me of 4th of July and it "makes me want a hot dog real bad!" Nice work!
- Grandbee on June 21, 2020
What a beautiful piece and how creative, you used natural items to create this wonderful art!
- Karen on June 21, 2020
While it’s always nice to see smiles, it is especially appreciated right now! Thank you Declan!
- Karen on June 1, 2020
What a beautiful butterfly and what a lovely way to recognize your mom. You are quite a good artist Declan!
- Karen on June 1, 2020
This is a great piece of work! I like it very much. It's a pretty butterfly but also has a lot of other important parts too! It's very cool of you Declan to want to give your Mommy a badge for all her hard work. And I agree she deserves one!
- Grandbee on June 1, 2020
This is a complex piece.....it really made me think. I feel like there is a bigger story here. One with a bit of a sci-fi angle. AND The food aspect makes me wonder if Declan was hungry when he was drawing this!
- Grandbee on May 18, 2020
I love your transporter piece, how creative and thoughtful. Your thinking about makes me think about the man who created Star Trek, how he must have crafted his ideas about the future when he was a young man. So I thank you for sharing your piece and smile as I think of Gene Roddenberry. Enjoy this beautiful weekend!

It's all about time, it' all about space. About strange people in the strangest place.
- Grandbee on May 15, 2020
I agree - this is a very Zen piece. It's like a Budda head with a bit of a Hypnotic Pattern in the center bookended by the element signs of water, earth, air. Pretty cool!
- Grandbee on May 13, 2020
This is so cool Declan! It made me calm looking at it, it’s so well balanced and the spiral at the center is like the Celtic (Irish) spiral.
- Karen on May 8, 2020
Great work! I like the story - it's so well developed. As you described it Declan I could see it all happening. Very nice!
- Grandbee on May 8, 2020
I love your "A Day in the Life" project. Looks to me like you and your parents are doing a good job of keeping things going during this time! Happy May!
- Karen on May 4, 2020
I love this! And I love this day! Eat, Read, Walk! I see Declan is way out in front during the walk....Is Daddy sitting in the baseball mitt chair during the Harry Potter time? What stuff animal is in the bed with Declan? What does the S stand for in DEARS? These are the questions I have after looking at this piece.
- Grandbee on May 4, 2020
Look at how you set up a whole art studio! Love your pictures, you did a great job!
- Aunt Karen on April 15, 2020
From the artist: The people in the corner are me and my mom and dad. I like how I made so many hearts. It's one heart that's going all over, and it's from all of us as a family.
- Kevin (Father) on April 1, 2020
I loved your ROYGBIV! (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet) So bright and beautiful. And I really like your message. You stay healthy too!
- Grandbee on April 1, 2020
I saw that kids around the world were doing this and wondered if you would too. You made a beautiful rainbow and are sending an important message. Even though we're apart, we can still help each other in little ways!
- Grandpa Gage on April 1, 2020
Declan, I’m so excited that I can see some of your art projects! I loved your recent collage, keep up the good work!
- Karen on April 1, 2020
This is a very nice collage! The pictures are nicely composed and I especially like the one of the paintbrush.
- Grandpa G. on April 1, 2020
This is a great picture! I really like your use of lighter shades of blue around the sun. Very impressive!
- Grandpa Gage on March 4, 2020
I feel movement in this piece! Where is the bunny going?
- Granbee on February 19, 2020
Wow! I love the vivid blue in this picture! The snowflakes are a beautiful touch! The snowmen remind me of when we built a snowman at Shanley Family Christmas - Carrot nose and all! And ours leaned over just as this one did too!
- Granbee on February 19, 2020
Love it! But for full effect, the title needs to be read this way: Frog....In....Space!
- Grandbee on November 13, 2019
One heart is good 20 hearts are even better! I wonder who the people are in the bottom corner? I especially like the parts of hearts on the edges of the pages. It makes me think the hearts keep going off the page and go on forever!
- Grandbee on October 23, 2019
I feel like this one takes place in the downstairs family room. Am I right? I wonder who that is sitting on the couch??? I'd like to hear more!
- Grandbee on October 23, 2019
Wow! I love all the colors in this one! There is so much happening. I'd really like to hear all about it next time we talk. Good job!
