Dear Ellie: I liked your sparkling castle - how did you get the roofs to look so shiny? Did you cut the shaped out of paper? That's how it looked to me. I also liked how you cut the ramparts so carefully AND the mountains surrounding the castle. With love, Grandma

Dear Ellie: I looked at this picture and I could feel the cold and crisp air. The trees look so barren and stark against the deep blue sky - how did you get the color so beautifully mixed. Are those footprints in the snow? Seems like a bunch of crows or maybe rabbits. With love from Grandma and Grandpa Nillissen

Ellie, I love the sky in your winter watercolor. It is so strong and expressive. It reminds me of a winter storm. The trees are amazing too. Good work. Mom

Dear Ellie, I just love your Indin corn photo, when I did it, it never got even close to being on artsonia. I didn't even finish it! But hey, why am I talking about myself? My point is you did what I couldn't. So in that way you are a bit better in art then I am. Go figure! Love Georgina

Dear Ellie: Grandpa and I have just been driving through miles and miles of corn fields - you got the image of the corn stalk beautifully. Love, Grandma

Ellie, I love your corn art. It is so colorful and expressive. You have captured the spirit of the corn, much like the American Indians when they would paint the world around them. Love, Mom

Hi Ellie: Thank you for sharing your new painting with me. It is wonderful. I especially like the way you've painted the reflection of the flowers in the surface of the water below the horizon. Good job! Best wishes, Nancy

Dear Ellie: We really liked your ice-skating picture, especially the colors and the movement of the legs. Grandma always watches skating on TV - it looks so easy but is so difficult. Grandpa and Grandma

Dear Ellie - we love your quilt and the picture of the baby. The flowers and the hearts are very nicely spaced and displayed. What are the red rolls on top of the baby's hair? With love, Grandma and Grandpa
