I just love your artwork and all of your talents! You are a very special granddaughter. Love, Grandma Lou -- Mary Lou

What a cool juxtaposition of your favorite activities. I love the ribbons of the pointe shoes draped over the piano keys. I didn't even see the knitting needle at first with its subtle placement! -- Mom

Ah yes - the infamous Catzilla preparing for another battle with arch nemesis Godzilla! -- Uncle Mike

Is that a ball of yarn with which the cat is playing? Very cool! -- Mom

Wait a minute! Those orange things on the ground are mislabeled. Anybody else remember that a young Ms. M insisted for years that they were called "coffees"? BTW, they now have a small charge at Cosley Animal Farm. Still free for us residents, but all you out-of-towners have to pay to fix the hole in the city budget! -- Michael

You have captured this annual tradition beautifully. Who is that handsome guy that is doing all the heavy work? -- Dad

Aww, Cosley Animal Farm! I bet we went to Augustino's afterward! I love the quilt square format! How cool would a whole paper quilt be on your wall? -- Mom

Very clever surreal pic, Maria! And it's the only artwork on your teacher's webpage! Love, Mom -- Mom

This is sooo cool! I love this. Way to go! xoxo Aunt Karol -- Karol

Clearly, this work must be done by an individual with art in her genes (probably paternal). My only fear is the she has peaked too early. -- Kurt

Yo Maria! Bobo says that snowman has Chicken Feet Hands! Tofu says that snowman is just Stringing us along since it's not FROSTY enough for a SNOWman to still be hanging around! Uncle Mike says - Abe Lincoln called - he wants his hat back! Everybody says - Nice interpretative take on a old classic icon of winter! -- Michael

I like the subtle use of color. I want to know what happened next on the Island. Love, Mom -- Lisa

This is awesome, Maria! I love the lines. It's a great use of string! Love, Aunt Karol -- Karol

I love Maria's artwork and always have. She shows a real eye for color and composition, as well as balance and creativity. Love, Grandma Lou

This is one of my favorite pictures. I love your shades of color snow people. Very cute head attire, too! Love, Mom

What a very nice snowy cityscape! I like the addition of color with the lighted lampost. Snow is one of your specialties. Can't wait to see the original. Love, Mom

This is a perfect picture for this winter - so much snow! Nice work! xoxo, Aunt Karol

Maria, you have created the sense of movement in your sky. That, contrasted with the stark silhouette of the buildings and trees in the foreground, is very exciting. I like all your work and particularly enjoy my coffee mug. Love, Grandma Lou

Maria, Beautiful colors! You're as nice as your artwork! Love, Josie

Maria, Wow! You have quite a talent, sweetie! xoxo, Aunt Karol

Maria, This reminds me of Van Gogh's Sunflowers but I like yours better! What's neat is that it really looks natural! xoxo, Karol

This is beautiful. I love the contrast of colors and how you used black. xoxo, Aunt Karol

Very nice Ms. M - your wavy lines give a sense of depth and even a 3D effect to your artwork - check out another artist by the name of Edvard Munch who also used wavy lines to great effect. In a picture called "The Scream" he uses wavy lines to visually & with extreme realism capture the sound for the viewer.

Wonderful sense of movement and flow. You have created some beautiful pieces, Maria, and I enjoyed seeing all of them. Love, Aunt Kay

I enjoyed the placement of the stars among all the colors! Your land scene is pretty cool. Love, Mom

We really like the black background contrast with the vibrant colors of the fall squash...great placement with the different sizes too. Nice work! Love, Aunt Connie & Adam

Hey, Maria! I loved all your artwook. You are a tallented artist. These fish look so cool in the water because the water looks so real! I love you, Your Cousin Sara

Maria, This is beautiful! You've done a really nice job with all three of these pieces. Wonderful color choices. I think this is a cool website. Love, Aunt Krista

Dear Maria, I love your artwork, especially on my grandmothers mug which I use for my coffee in the morning. You are very talented, actually multitalented! Love, Grandma

The fish bowl is my favorite! It's abstract yet recognizable. I love the soft and bright colors you chose in the tissue paper.

Maria, I love your Vincent's flowers design, especially the drooping bud! The colors are beautiful! Love, Mom
