I would love to explore your magical forest.
Posted 2 years ago by Grandpa Bob
This is very well done, Maddie. Always love perspective drawings but they can be somewhat sterile. Yours has “life” to it. REALLY good job!
Posted 2 years ago by Auntie Amanda
This is so calming and magical. I feel as if I’m standing right on the edge of this forest, peering in. Love this.
Posted 2 years ago by Auntie Amanda
I see a beautiful spring forest. I'd love to take a walk there.

Your self portraits are always my favorites. I like the emphasis on your face in this one and how everything else lets it be the focus.
Posted 2 years ago by Auntie Amanda
I see so many interesting shapes and textures in this. Every time I look at it, I see something new. Very beautiful in its overall simplicity.
Posted 2 years ago by Auntie Amanda
This is so unique and creative. Did you show Shadow? ??

I do not nose which one is my favorite
Posted 2 years ago by Deborah (Mother)
Noses are essential, if not anyone's most attractive feature. I love you lots... Even your nose.
Posted 2 years ago by Grandma Ann
Maddie, noses are really difficult for me to draw. I liked your use of shading and highlights to create a feeling of dimension. If you asked me to select a favorite, that nose would be hard to pick!
Posted 2 years ago by Grandpa Bob
Wow Maddie, amazing detail on the hair. I never tried to do a self portrait. Is it difficult to do?
Posted 2 years ago by Grandpa Bob
I love this!
Posted 2 years ago by Deborah (Mother)
Maddie, loved your graphite rendering of Frita Kahlo. Amazing work with shading techniques.

Posted 2 years ago by Grandpa Bob
LOVE, love, love it!

Hi Maddie, this project was a challenge. It seems that the results are sometimes surprising after firing in the kiln. I thought your creation was both beautiful and useful. What a fun class. ??Grandpa Bob
Posted 2 years ago by Grandpa Bob
Maddie, this artistic technique of creating gradients of gray by spacing the dots is awesome! I remember looking at black and white photographs in the newspaper with a magnifying glass. To my amazement the entire picture was made of dots.
Posted 2 years ago by Grandpa Bob
Your work with shading is paying off with realistic objects. Good for you! Gramma Ann
Posted 2 years ago by Grandma Ann
HOW did I miss this one??!! So sweetly done, Maddie. I love it!!

Contour drawing looks fun. I imagine you have to really observe your subject to get such realistic results! Love seeing your progress. Thanks Maddie

Wow!! This is really beautiful, and I LOVE your zentangles! Big, BIG zentangle fan here. ????

I know you did this one long ago but I still admire it whenever I visit your Artsonia page.
Posted 2 years ago by Aunt Amanda
I love how the monochromatic background makes your colorful name pop! I also really like the font you created.

Just looking back through all your work and was admiring this piece once again. I know you did it a long time ago, but it is still one of my favorites on Artsonia. ??
Posted 2 years ago by Auntie Amanda (fan)
This one made me laugh! ?? If art can make people think, smile, feel … why not make them laugh, too?
Posted 2 years ago by Auntie Amanda (fan)
Maddie, this one is C-O-O-L! The monochromatic background really lets the colors in your name shine through. ?? And I love the font you created! ??

As usual, your creativity knows no bounds! If you do take time to do the two postcards (“warm” and “cool”), I’d love to see those as well.

This is so beautiful, Maddie. I can feel the breeze that is blowing about and spreading the seeds. The composition is really good.
Posted 3 years ago by Auntie Amanda
Maddie, This is stunning! I would hang this in my house!!! Wonderful!!
Posted 3 years ago by Aunt Melissa
Loved your choice of colors. The complementary colors in blue-purple-green spectrum really jumped out against the contrasting yellows-reds-oranges. But the pink item in the center initially caught my attention. Thanks, Maddie. ??
Posted 3 years ago by Grandpa Bob
Absolutely fascinating!!! Gr-pa Richard
Posted 3 years ago by Grandma Ann
This one made me smile from ear to ear. YOU are an encourager and it was lovely to see you bring this quality to your art. Love this. Love you.

Hi Maddie, I like the way you show the wrinkles in the clothing. You nailed the body proportions. Cartooning was my favorite thing to do when I was your age. Love it!

Very cool. But you are not what mom thinks avocados are!

I love this color-filled piece and your choices for the intersections are creative and unique!
Posted 4 years ago by Auntie Amanda
SO creative! I can almost hear the teacher's instructions: "Draw and color a tag of your name ..." I really like this one!
Posted 4 years ago by Auntie Amanda
Maddie, I love this. The cheerful colors brightened my day. ??
Posted 4 years ago by Grandpa Bob
Very cool, Maddie! It reminds me of old cartoon graphics from the Bugs Bunny era.
Posted 4 years ago by Aunt Melissa
Great! It looks like ziggity zaggity. I like 2 color art.
