Lukas you've given a wonderfully colorful, birdseye view of the city! What a great perspective of the Space Needle. As always I'm impressed with your skill, and see that you continue to develop your eye for color and organization. Good work by a great guy. Hugs from Peg -- Peg

Lukas you've done another lovely piece. I like the texture and the colors you have used. It's a very cheery print and would look great framed and hanging on someones wall! Hope the year at school is going well...Mush love to ya. Peg -- Peg

Hi Honey, I really like the print - you'll have to tell me how you made it when you come visit next month. I'm so excited about you coming to Tucson. This looks like the same print in different colors - and it's really sharp. I'm proud of you in everything you do Lukas - you're such a wonderful child and I bet you've grown a lot since I saw you last year. Love you dearly, Grandma -- Janet

Lukas your picture is wonderful, as usual. It shows that you are learning lots of new techniques to use in your art work. I hope you can get this one framed and have it to remind you of how much you are growing in your ability. Keep up the good work, your fan club loves it. Lots of hugs, Peg -- Peg

Love this one! Your attention to detail paid off in this piece. It is beautiful and I can tell many skills were needed to complete it. Congratulations on this accomplishment! This website if fun. I love to see your work and look forward to the next one. Keep working hard (and having fun). Cheryl -- Cheryl

To "fans" of Lukas's art: This red square is a "button blanket." Lukas's class studied Native American art, including some beautiful blankets elaborately decorated with thousands of buttons and beads. The kids then made their own mini button blankets: a large square of felt with a design based on Native American images. Lukas chose a salmon (imagine this piece of art rotated 90 degrees to the right). Lukas did all his own sewing of the buttons and beads. After he did this project, he came home and made another button blanket for his stepmother, Chris. He does good work. -- Kristina

Hi Sweetheart, Your sarcophagus drawing is really wonderful - and I just saw the buttons one as well - both excellent. You have a good eye! Did your class go to a museum to see Egyptian artifacts? How did the bike ride go at camp during your break? I spent yesterday taking down a 12 foot high cactus that just got carried away with itself! I had to use my chain saw to get the bottom - so it was partly woody and partly like using a chain saw to make slaw - what a mess - it was all over my shoes and legs too. The bottom stump was about a foot in diameter. When you're here for Thanksgiving - maybe you can draw some cactus. Have I ever taken you to the cactus nursery? We'll have to do that too. I love you dearly, Grandma -- Janet

Lukas this is a stellar drawing! You are such a good artist and I am always excited to see what your imagination has created. Who would think of making a snake out of an L? Good execution as always...Love Peg

What a great looking snake! I wish we could go snake hunting when you're here for Thanksgiving, but they've all gone to sleep for the winter. You really are a wonderful artist my darling grandson - and I can hardly wait to see you. Love you with all my heart, grandma

Wow Lukas, This looks almost like my backyard! You are good a t wild and wonderful images! Please tell your mom Happy Mother's Day for me - and I love you with all of my heart. Grandma Janet

This looks like a very green planet indeed. Your creatures are well done in size,shape and placement...not to close together. Another winner Lukas, keep up the good work. Love, Peg

Lukas I just found this beautiful print. I don't remember seeing it before and was surprised and delighted to view it. As in all of your work,...great color, drawing and subject. Is this a hanu? Please keep drawing, you do such a good job. Love, Peg

Lukas - this is a wonderful design - it looks like our Eduardo who still has not woken up from his long winter hibernation. You really have a marvelous gift with your artistic abilities - and I'm very proud of you in all the wonderful things that you do. Much love, grandma

Lukas all I can really say is WOW! Your picture expresses it very well. I can almost hear the noise of the rocket and see the sparkling stars. They are sparkling aren't they? This picture is another job well done. Thanks for sharing it with me. Keep drawing...Love, Peg

Hi Sweetheart, I like this rocket ship - please remind me in the spring when you're here that I have some videos made by The Boeing Company of space shuttle take-offs - it's really fun to watch. And I miss you! You are a great artist and wonderful grandson - we love you dearly, Grandma

Lukas you have created another "stellar" work of art. It does remind me of the beautiful night sky just after dark . I love your attention to detail, such as the holes (craters) in the moon. Keep on drawing, you do such a super job. Love, Peg

Hi Lukas, Your Starry Night is really beautiful. Since our nights are so clear here - you and I will spend some time looking at the Stars. I especially like the different shapes and the way you did the moon - and the silver in the moon and around the blue star. I love you my darling Grandson! Love, Grandma Janet

Hey Lukas is this you in your Halloween costume or is it one of the monkeys who have been jumping on the bed? Once again you have done a great job of creating a beautiful and vibrant painting. I can tell that you love to draw and paint by the wonderful works of art that you create.

Oh Lukas, is this monkey cool or what! wow. and such beautiful lips - all the better for lots of smooching! And he looks pretty muscular too. I couldn't even begin to draw this good - I'm very proud of you my darling grandson - and I also love you dearly with all my heart and soul. You are the best! Love, Grandma

Lukas you're back from summer vacation and drawing such beautiful sunflowers. They are beautiful and I like the use of form and color that you have used to make the picture so vibrant. What an artist you are! Thanks for sharing your art with me. Love, Peg

Hi Honey, The sunflowers are wonderful! I like the way they jump out with such joy and beauty! You've captured their spirit and grace. Thank you for your wonderful art. I love you sweetheart. Grandma Janet

Lukas I've been thinking of you and then I get a notice telling me that you have another picture available to view. What a nice surprise to see another colorful and beautifully drawn workof yours. You have learned how to draw so very well this year.The fish and the landscape couldn't be better. The colors that you chose just make this a splendid work of art. Thanks so much for sharing. I miss you...Love Peg (and Sam)

Lucas, I am in England where I saw your artwork and enjoyed it very much. My love to you and your Mom and Dad. London is rainy like Seattle but it is very interesting (like Seattle). I have not seen the queen yet. Jerry

Hi Sweetheart, This is wonderful art - the self-portrait, Mardi Gras, fish bowl, etc. - wow. I sure hope you're drawing over the summer vacation period. How is your sprained ankle? Grandma loves you very much, and I can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving! Take good care and please give your mom, dad and brothers my love as well. Hugs & kisses, Grandma

Lukas, how surprised I was to see this beautiful and colorful owl! It's a terrific job of mixing the cut pieces of paper to create such a strong and clear picture. Keep up the great work. I look forward to seeing more of your art. Really Big Hugs from Peg.

This is a great looking owl, Lukas. I really like the colors you used! Your are a very good artist. Love, Dad.

Lukas, I really like the owl, keep up the good work. We can't wait to see you during Spring vacation Grandpa Jerry

Wow Lukas - we have an owl just like this in the tree across the street. We'll look for it when you're here - which is going to be SOON. Much love, Grandma Janet

This is a very fine mask. If you wore this to school, nobody would know who you were! Love, Dad.

LIKE YOUR MASK. Good job. If you put it on you would look like a monster. From Peg and ELizabeth

Hi Lukas, The mask is marvelous! Your school must be lots of fun, and your art work is really beautiful - thank you for sharing with me. I can't wait to see you in April. Love, grandma

Lukas114 Are you teasing me? Is this another self-portrait???? Is this you dressed up in a monkey suit???It is a well drawn picture. Keep on drawing. Lots of kisses Peg

Lukas114 you have drawn a very good self potrait. I knew it was you when I first saw it! Do you know what else...It sort of looks like Davis too!! You are getting very good at drawing people, especially your parents. Your use of color on their portraits is the best...Love Peg

Lukas, once again I am loving what I see in your artwork.The mask is so well done and the colors you used are terrific,some of my favorites. Where do you get all of your inspiration? Keep on drawing , it's such a kick to see what your going to create next. I miss you and send hugs.Peg

Lukas, Great mask! You are really good!

Your monkey picture includes a really interesting blend of what looks like two different materials. Is it pastels and white glue? It turned out really well.

I really like your monkey! Great color and a wonderful interpretation!

Oh Lukas, Thank you for drawing a monkey with a heart - what a beautiful Valentine's Day message! I love you very much - can't wait to have you visit us in Tucson. Love Grandma Janet

Lukas, Sorry it's taken me so long to get to your website. Sam and I just spent a very long time looking very, very closely at all of your work. WOW!!! You are a good thinker and your use of color is superb.I loved the drawing of the lamb and the lion so much I ordered an Xmas tree ornament of it . Sam was surprised at how carefully you drew your subjects, such as your Dad and the dinosaurs. We will be looking for more. Love Peg

Wonderful colors Lukas. Your work is very cheerful. I love it! Grandpa Jerry

Lukas, Your art work is really cool. You are getting better every day. Grandpa Jerry

Hi Sweetheart Grandson, Next time you come to Tucson, we'll go to a cactus nursery and I'll show you cactus that I think evolved from deep sea creatures and plants! Did you know that Tucson used to be at the bottom of a sea? Your fish and octopus are terrific - your colors are just right. I hope you will draw lots of pictures for me when you come visit because I think you have special talent. I love you very much, grandma janet

Curator's message to the "fan club": Things to look for in this picture are a puffer fish, a shark, a sea urchin, a star fish, a lighthouse, some seaweed, and an octopus (who, of course, has a "Lukas" mustache). Remember, it's an eat or be-eaten world out (down) there.

Lukas, you have created the perfect picture of "peace." Your lion is so true to life. And I like the addition of the rainbow -- it's a great backdrop for what this picture is about. Love, Mom.

Hi Lukas: Why dis you draw a bird on Mommy's shoulder? Why is my skin green? Why is my neck pink? Do my ears really look that red? Love, Dad.

Hi my precious Lukas, I really like this picture - these look just like a couple of people that I know- wow. The ears are magnificent - and so are the eyes. I love you dearly, grandma Janet

Hi Lukas: This picture makes me hungry - food on a black plate. The purple food looks good to eat. Love, Dad.

Hi Lukas, The green item looks like one of our cactus! Wow - this is really nice work. And what great circles, triangles and orange square - lots of great shapes. Love you honey, grandma

Hi Sweetheart Lukas, Oh, I like this picture too - very much! What I see in your picture is exercise, education, thinking, resting & relaxing - perfect. Love, Grandma

WOW! Lukas, this is so cool. The colors jumped out of the picture and surprised me. Thanks for sharing your art. You are a great artist. Keep drawing. Love, Dad.

Very creative, colorful and scary!

My darling grandson, Your art work is beautiful! I really like the bright colors - they make me feel cheerful! I miss you very much - when you come visit, we'll spend some time drawing pictures together - you can show me how to do it. First grade must be a lot of fun for you. Love & kisses, grandma

Hi Lukas! What a great picture - you really used some good colors. Thanks for adding me to your Fan Club. Love, Dad
