Nolan- This is a an awesome self-portrait! The detail is so good and the technique reminds me of what is called a “gesture” drawing.

Nolan- What a great surprise when I opened my phone this morning! Your “rainbow bird” brought a big smile to my face. You gave him/her a real personality in your excellent drawing! I can tell that you really spent time creating it. Mimi

Did you create your mandala with a pencil or charcoal? What a good job you did of repeating the design/pattern! Mimi

Another wonderful piece! Those fall leaves look so realistic! They seem to be floating down a swirling river.

Your octopus is one of my favorite paintings that you’ve done. You have the legs showing dimension with the shading and the overlapping. So wiggly! I also love the blended dots of color for the background. Just like the artist, George Seurat. Look it up. Mimi

Oompah and I had to laugh at where Nolan put his version of the Mona Lisa. Of course she would be on Progressive Field! XO, Mimi

A stitchery on burlap! Was that the first time that you made stitches for an art project? I like how you repeated colors and made the lines of stitches go different directions for your design. Great job, Nolan!

This looks like an Aborigines mask from Australia! I love how you made the “face” look like real wood by drawing texture. He is fierce! Mimi

WOW!! You made your weaving really “pop”! I love how you painted the “loom” first and then positioned the weaving in the center. Your colors really complement each other. I’m going to have some notecards made. XO, Mimi

WOW! That looks like a cat skeleton. It reminds me of the Mexican style of painting and celebrating Day of the Dead. Super idea for Halloween! Mimi

What a great painting of a desert sunset! Is that a place you'd like to visit? The black cactus against the glowing sky is so dramatic!. xo, Mimi

I see a dream catcher! You did a nice job of assembling all the parts and the”catcher” weaving. Did it catch your bad dreams? Mimi

I finally was able to see your artwork on my computer. The black outlines make your painting "pop". Is that chalk used to add color? What is the building/ It reminds me of ones in the Meditteranean. Mimi
