I don’t see the assignment comments on this one…so I can only comment on the visual. I very much like this colorful, abstract portrait. The placement of the jewelry is super cool.

What a great looking portrait of a great man in American history…researcher, inventor & advocate for racial equality. Love your handling of the medium & your defining lines on his suit jacket! The red & blue background along with the white of his shirt is very American indeed!

Hi, Taran, I did make a reference to this work in the “ King “ comment. Also, I want to say I bought a sketchbook with this artwork on the cover. Love, Mimi

Hi, Taran, The stain glass background really pops! ….and Peanut butter is the best! Thanks G. Washington Carver. Love, Mimi

Hi Taran…nice work as always. Yep, we sure do love peanut butter! I actually didn’t know very much about G. W. Carver other than his famous name. So I googled…to find that Dr. Carver established an agriculture extension in Alabama and founded an industrial research lab where he worked tirelessly on the development of hundreds of applications for new plants. Carver discovered more than 300 uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes.

Hi, Taran, Your “King of Hearts” is great. Did you read Alice in Wonderland? Also, just saw “Colorful Guy” …terrific! I don’t know works by Sandra S… Cool! Love, Mimi

I wonder what he’s looking at & thinking about??? A fantastic King of ????”s drawing,Taran!

Ooooooo?? Your pictorial description is awesome. We do have lots of family members who have experienced actually seeing the Northern Lights in Iceland, as you know. From photos I’ve seen…your expression is right on! Beautiful Taran????

Nice job Taran…the cool blues fit the subject. As always ??????

I love your little Gnome & lucky me! I’ve already seen it set up at home with your ceramic snow folk. Nice little collection. xo Bubby

Hi,Taran, It will be fun to see the ceramic gnome!….nice addition to your two snowmen..Snowy and Snowy Jr. Love, Mimi

Adorable holiday Gnome, Taran. Nice how you’ve learned so much ceramic work terminology. (Quiz coming when I visit! Kidding??)

I really like the graceful movement you've shown in both the water and leaves. Nice job!

An excellent self portrait Taran and you are most definitely "wanted" as a Saxophone musician as well as a wonderful Grandson and exemplary citizen.

I assume it is an “Avocado” man with the Mexican hat. Love it! Mimi

This is so much fun to look at….gotta smile??

As I am visiting in Ma this week I was fortunate to see Taran’s turtle in “person” before viewing it now on Artsonia. Love it??Love your colors, Taran and thank you to the teacher for posting the slide & video presentation. First class and thumbs up to everyone. ??????????

Wow, you are learning some super fun techniques this year. I love this! Looks like my walls will soon be full of your artwork! I will, of course save space for Zachary too. ??

Hi, Taran, Your city reminds me of cities I have seen along the Rhine River in Germany. Terrific! Love how the city is reflected in the water. Excellent. Love, Mimi

Taran….your cat is the coolest cat ever!!! I love your folk arty stylization. I see it was a free time project…so naturally I’m wondering how the idea was “born.” Next time we talk, I’m asking! Love it. ( I’d be careful or I’ll have an entire wall full of your art!!??) xo

Yet another masterpiece, Taran. Nice southwestern color scape & the multi plane layout certainly did create that sense of perspective. ???? Bubby Sandt

Hi, Taran, Nice desert picture! I am a fan of the desert. Reminds me of Arizona. I see background, middle ground, and foreground! Love, Mimi

How colorful is the Blackbird as the sunshine reveals. You’ve shown this so well in your artwork,Taran. Nice job??

Hmmmmm, this looks like a Jim Dine original to me, Taran! ?? Great job! I love your color choices.

Taran, I am very impressed with this technique as well as with your handling of the mediums. It’s quite effective! I’d like to try this myself. Perhaps we can do one together next time I visit. Needless to say…I may need to purchase a souvenir of this one. Aunt Lori also loves this piece and will purchase a magnet.?? ???? xoxo Bubby

Hi, Taran, Really nice art work! Neat how you made the trees. We love birch trees!! Love, Mimi

You certainly got a perspective feeling with this project! Great. Love, Mimi

I LOVE your 3D work, Taran! I see your additional understanding of perspective with the houses drawn smaller as they go farther up the mountain as well as the change in color from brighter to more subdued. Great looking goat too

Hi, Taran , I missed this one too. Wow! Your watercolor sky is terrific. I was going to ask how you made that special effect with the dots…read the lesson info and see you used salt! Your use of paper for the trees makes it a perfect mixed media project!! Love, Mimi

“Snowy Jr.” Is another great sculpture. Love the name for your sculpture! Check our tree when you come and look for an ornament that has last year’s snowman on it! Love, Mimi

Did I miss this one too? Oh my!?? I adore the movement you’ve created here. Fine job, Taran.

Oooooo, I somehow missed this one. I LOVE IT!!!! The colors, transparencies due to the water color medium…wonderful. xoxo Bubby

Just in time for the holidays, Taran! You’ve created a very festive and friendly snowperson & scenery! I can imagine it on your windowsill soon. Happy Holidays to you, your teachers, classmates & their families.

Spoooooooky cool artwork Taran! I love the castle design, especially the windows! Lots of detail in this one and the added animation of a ghost drifting across is a fun bonus! Thumbs up???? xo Bubby

Hi, Taran, Your perspective work is outstanding! The stairs going back are amazing. Love it!

Wow ! That is a terrific portrait of yourself! Read the description of the lesson…you are right on!

Great portrait of a very happy kid with lots of self confidence showing strongly in the foreground while other human emotions that do occasionally edge in hovering behind. I knew it was a self portrait immediately, Taran. Your drawing skills & eye for detail has matured greatly. Your self portrait shouts: “ This is me,Taran!!!“

Taran, I like your last piece of this school year so much that I might need to order a print. Then I’ll have two from your study of Kusama! I must admit that although I’m familiar with her 3 Pumpkins, I don’t recognize her style in this one….but I LOVE it as an original Taran style!!! Looking forward to more Artsonia next school year…but first…summer vacation!!!! xoxo Bubby

Hi, Taran, I thought I left a comment but Artsonia says I didn’t. Sooo…..The birch trees are spectacular…and I love birch trees. I remember your Mom saying you did a certain technique to get that texture of birch. Sky and shadows I love. Dramatic landscape. Terrific! Love, Mimi

Hi, Taran, Love your “Scwigle”…It is a happy scwigle because I see the smiling dinosaur! …(at least I see it)

Taran, I am totally in love with your interpretation of Yayoi’s Kusamas pumpkin series. You’ve really captured her style…airy, colorful, fun! Kusama is a favorite and your painting motivated me to look at some of Kusamas work too! ???? on this painting. Bubby

Hi, Taran, The tree reminds me of the birch that is now out front of the cottage in Maine. I am looking out the window now. If if wasn’t cloudy, the setting sun would be just where you have it and revealing all those branches! See you soon! Love, Mimi

Taran, I somehow missed this colorful drawing and I'm so very happy to see it now! Beautiful! I don't see the assignment description so I can't comment on that, but I do like your artwork very much.....to me it could be a flower, or a sun or even paddles from a kayak or canoe on a lake....my imagination wanders in your creativity. Nice job!

Hi Taran, Another wonderful work of art & very good interpretation of Georgia O'Keefe's work! Good eye, guy! xoxo Bubby

Taran…this is really great. I wish I knew more about the project assignment. I did read that this is a portrait of artist Kehinde Wiley, known for his portrait of President Obama & that you’ve added your own additions to the portrait. I love the way you titled your work “King” with that regal crown being very appropriate, jewel and all. I like the neck piece too! I love your choice of red for the background color giving the King an even more regal, powerful look.

Hi, Taran, This is a great mixed media project! I didn’t see the lesson. Looks like there is a story to this project. Love, Mimi

I love the pattern you’ve created as well as the colors, Taran. The starlike shape in the center gives your design a special spark. I can imagine this as a quilt square. Bravo????

Your kindness always shines!

Hi, Taran, You are busy! Happy Sunshine Week.

This bright and cheery sun will bring smiles to all who view it, Taran. Your own bright smile with matching kind disposition will certainly make everyone's' day. Love you xoxo

Beautifully yellow, bright and cheerful, Taran! This piece will certainly bring on a big smile from everyone who views it. Your own smile and kind disposition will make that sun shine even brighter! Love you...happy weekend!

Hi, Taran, Did you think of the name? I love it…Tie Tie! It is such a colorful New Year tiger. Perfect!

I’m very impressed with “Tie Tie” Taran?? Love the title and the artwork alike. The colors you chose are beautiful and “Tie Tie” is full of expression. ????????????

This is amazing, Taran. It really does have a lifelike feel. Great artwork!

Beginning perspective drawing….cool! I have a feeling you’re going to enjoy drawing this way. Wonder what’s lurking behind those haunted house windows? ??

Such a great snowman…lots of personality! Terrific, Taran!

Interesting project & sweet artistic entry, Taran. thanks for sharing these lovely traditions.

Is your latest creation a 3D painting? Looks dimensional! Very abstract and interesting! …. Darkness in the center, bright colors all around… have not heard of this holiday, Diwali.

Terrific watercolor of Monarch butterflies! Love it!

Wow, Taran! This is one of your most beautiful paintings for sure! I LOVE the bright color combination! In my mind I can smell that purple & yellow flower and see those gorgeous butterflies fluttering their wings. I even learned something new! I knew of the Monarch's annual migration to Mexico, amazing in itself, but I didn't know the migration had a spiritual connection to The Day of the Dead. Totally awesome, Taran!A big thumbs up to you my dear.

I love the earthy color choices! Beautiful coloring!

Cool name design!

Tanks for sharing Taran! Your creation has a very environmental feel to me….with the T, R and other greenery looking like grassy green land surrounded by a blue waterway. Art is in the eye of the beholder! Loving beholder….Bubby

I like the style of the "R"!
