You continue to amaze me Maria with these magnificent sculptures! Making your round base and adding an extension looks challenging. I love seeing the effort you put into your work!

I am stumped, is it paper mache?
Posted 2 years ago by Barb
I would like to suggest you practice more with fur, it is challenging. By practicing we learn was does and doesn’t work, also we get better from muscle memory. Practice is what makes it better.

Maria that looks like a very complicated piece of artwork. I'd say you did a terrific job. to me it looks like a cute bunny sitting on a rhino head. Keep up the great work as I like your attitude to all you have done.

Maria you values are really improving. Your art work is really coming along.

I love the work that Pete produce, glad to hear you are learning about artists. The use of collage is great as it really forces the artist to think in basic shapes! You have done a great job, especially since I have seen you use Gel Plates before.

Maria, I love this guy! and I see he has lots of love to send as well. I am not familiar with the process you used to create him/her but it looks exciting. Thanks for the explanation.

I love the shape of this leaf Maria and will look for one just like it at the farm and will save it for you.
Posted 2 years ago by Baba
I love the contrast between your yellow and purple, your composition of the leaf if beautiful.
Posted 2 years ago by Barb (fan)
Maria, this leaf is so cool! The patterns in the leaf's various sections remind me of wallpaper and the small punch of red was unexpected and impactful. And I look forward to when you do learn to use watercolours, as that's one of my favourite mediums.

So creative Maria! Your name goes so well with the rest of the figures. Awesome!

Hey Maria, glad to see you are creating more artwork this year! Love your name and the cool colors you used. Very light and relaxing.

I love your choices of patterns on your letters!

Maria, I loved your name sculpture project! I had fun trying to guess what each letter's decoration represented about you. This is what I think it is: M= your passion for swimming A=your Ukrainian heritage R=your adopted home of Vietnam I=your love of pizza A=your love of music I hope I got it right! :)

I love this one, it is my favourite of the year. You have grown in your artistic ability. I prefer the prospective you chose in drawing, to a front view. Really shows off her wings.

Maria, a very interesting selection! You have done an amazing job with this piece and all your projects this year. Congratulations on a job well done!

Maria, so touching! Love your choice and your reasoning. Leaves me with sentimental feelings. Great job!
Posted 2 years ago by Joan
This may be my favourite thing you've done so far! That's probably because I used to love playing with doll houses when I was a girl. I love how detailed you've made this. From the rug, to the curtains and the floating shelf - great job!!

Very nice multi dementional work. It turned a boring box into a tiny babas kitchen!

Wow Maria, you all sure had to work fast! Quit impressive. Looks like you had a blast building the birdhouse. Keep it up.
Posted 2 years ago by Baba
That was interesting how you made that house.
Posted 2 years ago by Barb
Maria this would make a nice birdhouse at the farm! Just would have to place where the rain would not destroy it. Great job.

I love your cardboard sculpture! You have done a great job of keeping the pieces to scale!

Maria you certainly draw interesting views. It's amazing how you have each hut with similar and yet different identities. Keep up the interesting art!

Maria they look great! I am assuming that you carved the image out then inked or painted the image and sort of stamped it? I have never tried that, you will have to show me how next time we play in my art room. Keep feeding your creative side it nourishes your soul and mind!
Posted 2 years ago by Barb
A very interesting choice Maria! It does look like I could take a stroll downtown. I'm proud of the art you do! Keep it up.

WOW it is amazing how your artistic talent is growing! You have developed your skills now so that you are using such skills as perspectives. I agree this would be an interesting place to use another as well.
Posted 2 years ago by Barb
Maria that is amazing! You have put in great detail and I especially noticed it on the man's suit jacket. Keep up your challenging work as you seem to have the "touch".

I like the composition and use of a woven paper cage to encase the girl who is peaking out!

Maria, this looks like it belongs in an art gallery! Just beautiful! It reminds me of that moment when you are driving toward the Rocky Mountains in Alberta, and you first spot the mountains. I also like how it has the same colour scheme as the Ukrainian flag.

Quite a striking piece Maria. Love it! Keep it up.

You have really improved on your perspective in your artwork Maria! That ball really looks dimensional, and the kite just floats within the walls of your work. Overall very well done.

Maria, you achieved a really cool 3D effect with how you drew your clouds. And I love how the word "Rainbow" is in rainbow colours and the word "Cloud" has clouds in it. You have clearly taken your art to the next level. Great job!

Very nice message. You artwork is very tidy, I do love how you made the clods so light and fluffy with just the use of lines!
Posted 4 years ago by Barb
My first comment did not stay attached to your artwork, obviously I made some mistake in my method, sorry about that! Your Pho Under the Sea has turned out very good! Overall you have a variety of content to keep the viewer’s moving throughout the work of art. You have also used a broad selection of colours and values within, keeping the mind active while viewing. Your colouring has improved, and you have learned that markers have unique challenges. Very good overall.

This reminds me of "the deep blue sea" song with lots of activity. Love the different shades of blue.

Maria this is magnificent! The way you painted the water, with all those different shades of blue, makes it look very realistic. I feel like I’m actually under the sea! And I want to be friends with that cute little turtle. :)

You did a great job on the cup, reminds me of my favourite coffee. Those appear to citrus fruit so I am assuming it’s a cold beverage and that straw is drawn very well make me want to take a sip.
