Dear Caleb, We see that you learned how to "zentangle". I (Grandma) do this all the time when I'm doodling, but until now I didn't know there was a name for it. What a great pumpkin you created! If I go out into our pumpkin patch at night do you think I would find magical pumpkins like this one? Or - maybe the colors and patterns of your artwork show up in our patch during the day when we aren't looking! Either way, I believe it is a wonderful possibility!!! Happy Pumpkin Time, Grm. and Grp. W.

Hi Caleb, I like your colorful pumpkin with seeds inside. It's slightly spooky, too ! Love, Gramma Bev

Hi Caleb, What a NICE piece of art ! I love the detailed colors, patterns and shading. Keep drawing! Love, Gramma Bev

Hi Caleb, You have a very good imagination. I love the colors (especially the turquoise and the purple) and I also like your checkerboard pattern. The faces are very interesting. Love, Gramma Bev

Our dear Caleb, We think your artwork is imaginative, funny, colorful, birdy, interesting, animated, and just hunky dory! We know you drew it because you added personal details and we know you! It is always fun to be around you and your creative mind. Love, Grm. I and Grp. J

Dear Caleb, This is a nice piece of art! You did a nice job of choosing interesting patterns, lines, and colors. They all work nicely together. We can tell you spent a lot of time thinking about and creating this nicely positive drawing. It encourages us to be nicer to each other! Hmmm: is there a past tense of nice (I niced the cake)? I think not. Anyway, this is one of the nicest pieces of art you have ever made! Love, Grm. I and Grp. J

This creation of yours is so cool it could be in an art gallery! I would buy it if it was. You seem to have a talent for drawing flowers and other parts of nature. Happy Spring from Grandma I. and Grandpa J. !!!

Caleb, I love this purple, blue and turquoise butterfly sitting on the flowers. It's a great piece of Springtime art! Love, Gramma Bev

I see your artwork "A Thingy" was inspired by your study of culture and traditions around the world. I notice what I think are African and Japanese influences but I can't quite figure out the rest. You can tell us about it the next time you talk to us! The colors all work well together. Love, Grandma I. and Grandpa J.

Why did you name this "The Big Mess"? I would call it "Gorgeous"! You did a great job weaving and choosing the colors. I hope you make one like it for us someday. Our 42nd wedding anniversary is coming up soon: hint, hint! Love, Grandma I. and Grandpa J.

To me, this is a Super Hero Owl. Excellent ! Love, Gramma Bev

Wow, Caleb. I love the colors and textures of this Constellation art. I'll bet it took many hours to create this masterpiece. Love, Gramma Bev

Dear Caleb, Did you know that Duo is the mascot of Duolingo and he symbolizes knowledge, wisdom, and learning? Yep - and si senor! (How do you make the marks for Spanish above the "i" and the "n" in the previous sentence?) There are many words for "owl" in Spanish. Can you find some of them? We love owls - and you! Grandma I. and Grandpa J.

Caleb, I love your drawing of the TACO. It looks good enough to eat. Yum !

Hi Caleb, I see that this is egg carton art. Grandpa says it looks like a dog. I think so too. Is it Frodo? He was such a sweet, wonderful little dog, just like Buttons (who was black when she was younger.) I miss them both! Love, Grm. I. and Grp. J.

Hi Caleb, That is one big taco! We like how you drew the person behind the taco with his mouth open, showing all of those teeth - and eyes closed - trying to take a bite out of it. It is a simple drawing that says a lot. Now we are off to eat our tacos. My favorite ones are at a Mexican restaurant called Maria's! Love, Grandma I. and Grandpa John

Ole!!! What a goal you made (and a great drawing too.) Your dad played soccer and so did your uncle. David played until his senior year in high school and then later just for fun as an adult. It was always his favorite sport and he was very good at it. You are good at sports and at art. We will play soccer with you the next time we see you. Grm. I and Grp. J

I love the colorful Cardinal eating a red berry during the gentle snow ?. It is perfect for a winter decoration! Love, Gramma

Wow! I just logged on to view your artwork and you posted this beautiful winter picture just moments ago. The bright cardinal warmed our hearts on this cold day in December. Thinking of you always warms our hearts! I will definitely be ordering a print of your fun, creative piece of wildlife! Love, Grm. I and Grp. J

Dolphins are spectacular! They are quite intelligent. Along with whales, porpoises, and other cetaceans they have one of the most complex forms of communication known in the animal kingdom. Scientists have heard them whistle, scream, sorry-scream, click (squawks and barks), chirp, jaw clap and jaw pop. They also use larger body movements to communicate their needs and location. I would love to see them in person (in fish!) someday. Have you? Also, I would like to use a Sketch app. Could you teach me? Love, Gr. I.W.

Dear Caleb, I wish I was in this picture! I can feel and smell and hear the ocean waves just by looking at it!! You have a lot of artistic talent!!! I have never been on a surfboard but I have been in two oceans and one gulf. Love, Grandma I.

Hi Caleb, Cool Veterans Day art! Of course you know that your great-grandpa served in the Navy. Did you know that your other great-grandpa served in the Army and was stationed in Germany? Were your other great-grandparents veterans? See you soon!

I really like your Veteran's Day artwork ! The insects are cute.

This is an interesting piece of artwork! Is it a building designed to look like a giant ice cream cone? Is the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the background? Is there a sidewalk or a grassy field (or maybe a cornfield?) Whatever it is, it made us use our imaginations!!! - and it DOES look YUMMY. P.S. I'll give the maraschino cherry to Grandpa and eat the rest myself. Love from both of us!

Caleb, you are a very talented artist. I wish I could eat that ice-cream!

I'd like to live in this colorful town. I love the stars, but I wonder why the moon is not happy. Maybe he discovered that he can't stay out all night.

I think this could be a book about butterflies.

Hi Caleb, This colorful artwork sparks my imagination! I think it looks like a factory that makes colors, scents and flavors for delicious candy.

Hi Caleb, I love your flowers in the fancy vase. The colors of the flower petals are so beautiful. I'm glad you used lots of PURPLE.

Yum! It was a perfect fit that these were on display at the ice cream social!

This looks like a story waiting to be told. I can tell you worked very hard on this!

This factory makes some great colors! Thanks for coloring our world, Color Factory!

Water colors and line drawing together make a great creation! I have always loved both ways of making art. This reminded Grandpa and me of all the fun and movement at the wind-powered part of the Imaginarium we all went to together. Did you think about that when you were drawing and painting it? Love, Grm. and Grp. W.

Dear Caleb, Your sundae looks delicious enough to eat! At first Grandpa and I thought it was real but then we noticed the sequins. The whipped cream, cherry and caramel put it over the top! (Get it? - toppings!) I worked in an ice cream shop when I was a teenager. It was a lot of fun - especially eating free ice cream. Goodrich Dairy also had milk, cream, etc. I was very sticky when I got home. Love, Grandma Ianne

Scoutie, Scout,Scout! We are so glad that you love felines like we do. Cats bring such joy to our lives; it would be hard to live without them! Quincy, Willow, and Trillian say hi!!!

I googled "Jim Dine" and I really like his batik art, just like I like yours! Did you know that "batik" can be a noun or a verb? Did you use wax? Is your beautifully colored heart made on fabric or paper? Heart you!

...How lovely are your branches... (and your blue sparkly lights and your red garland) Please help us decorate our Christmas tree the next time you come to visit! We'll leave it up until after Christmas no matter when you come to do it! We love Christmas because we have grandchildren!!

That is definitely a happy earth - it looks very alive! But why all the question marks in your title????????????????????????????! We love the earth and you!

Wow - what a cool "Me Flyover" story quilt!!! We are enjoying all the colors and patterns and also you showing us what you like as you glide through the air. Someday you can create a fabric quilt like all of those at our house. See you soon; love from your besties in the woods

I think Scout is looking through the window at a rain storm. Good job, Caleb! Love, Gramma Bev

Caleb, I love this colorful heart with a very interesting background ??. Tomorrow is St. Valentine's Day, so you have good timing. Love, Gramma Bev

Dear Caleb, We like your delightful, colorful, shapeful, imaginary artwork! Now we want to know, what is "The only thing in the way"? as you have entitled it. Love from Grm. and Grp. W P.S. I wish I could visit the place that you created!

I love your colorful and glittery artwork. The red and green colors are putting me in the Christmas Spirit ! Love, Gramma Bev

We enjoyed looking at your art piece of hearts and stars of many colors. It is very interesting to see how they move across the page and also overlap! Love, Grm. and Grp. W

There is so much going on in this cool piece of art that it is actually telling a story! Yes, I would like to swim with the fishes and other animals of the sea as this diver is doing. Grandma Ianne

We like how the cool and warm colors contrast on this jellyfish. It looks fanciful but also real as if it is really in the ocean. They are beautifully interesting creatures! Grandma Ianne

What a beautiful butterfly! We saw some very much like it on our flowers this summer. One of them might have hatched from the chrysalis that was formed by a caterpillar on the milkweed plant after it munched on the leaves. Grandma Ianne

This reminds us of the glow-in-the-dark car track that we gave you once. It also reminds me of the funny little plaque in my kitchen that says,"This mess is a place!" Grandma Ianne

I would like to see the whole-school quilt that your block will be part of. Do you remember all of the quilts I showed you when you visited last summer?! I would like to see your creation "The Mouth" made with fabric! Grandma Ianne

Amazing! Grandpa and I both knew you were learning about VanGogh and his techniques as soon as we saw your artwork because it resembles his sunflowers so much. I actually have an art kit that I have been waiting to give you as a gift that is of Van Gogh's sunflowers. Grandma Ianne

You are very talented! I can almost smell these beautiful flowers!

The colors you used for this sunflower art are gorgeous! We are glad that there are sunflowers on the earth: for our happiness and appetites and for the birds' happiness and appetites! Love, Grandma and Grandpa W.

Wow, I love the colors of this sunflower and the rainbow background!

The mouth? Don't let it bite you!

Would you like to be a scuba diver explorer? Did you make the thing with dots by using bubble wrap?

Is this a poisonous jelly fish?

Your sunflower really jumps off the page with the black outline and bright colors!
