Stonehenge! Poppa and I visited Stonehenge in England several years ago. I look forward to traveling with you and Dylan to see Stonehenge when you're both a little bit older. It is a long airplane ride to England and the United Kingdom all the way across the Atlantic Ocean. I love you sweetie.

I love the colors! How did you create the purple and black background? Did you use a stamp or dribble black paint onto the purple background? Your art evokes the spirit of Halloween. I love you and I love this.

Gosh, Dakota, your "Butterflies and Blossoms" art gives me all the warm feels. I love the colors that you chose, the rainbow ball you drew, the butterfly, flower, and ladybug. Would you make one for me to hang on my office wall?

Do you know that this looks similar to a piece of artwork done by your Uncle John when he was your age? The stars and the curly spirals look very similar to how your Uncle John would draw them. I love you and miss you my dear heart, Dakota.

Do you know that I used to follow Christo's art installation work many, many years ago? I instantly recognized the art that you were emulating. Imagine if Christo, the person who's art you imitate here, designed how trees looked for us? Instead of green and brown trees, we might see pink and purple trees. What fun!
Posted 2 years ago by Lisa (fan)
l love the colors in this artwork of yours. I love the swirling peaches, yellows, and pinks of the background and the bold, black polka dots. I love your placement of the black dots and your choice of turquoise as rings. This is one of my favorite artworks of yours. Oh, who I am kidding? I LOVE all of your art!

Dakota, I love your rainy-day artwork! The blues and grays are the colors of a rainy day. Your raindrops, rainbow, and clouds remind me of a rainy day. I love that you're holding an umbrella. Keep drawing, sweetheart. Love, Grandmama

Dakota, I see you adding more and more details to your artwork. I like your legs that look as if you're wearing pants in this self-portrait and your bangs hanging over your eye. My sweetheart, keep on drawing.

Thank you for helping me to learn something new today. I hadn't heard of Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen so I researched them a bit. They were a married couple who created sculptures that took everyday objects and presented them in unusual forms and situations. Were you shown a photo of their sculpture "Spoonbridge and Cherry"? I love watching your skills as an artist develop, Dakota.

This is gorgeous, Dakota! A fallen ice cream cone and I'm wondering what the spot of blue is from. Did a painter bump into you while she was carrying a paintbrush full of blue paint causing you to drop your ice cream cone? Or were you picking blueberries in our backyard when one of the birds decide that it wanted to try some of your ice cream cone?

It's a quilt of your handprints, which I adore. Did you cut out each handprint yourself? How did it feel when you pressed your hand in the black paint and then pressed it onto the four painted pieces of paper?
Posted 2 years ago by Grandmama
Are those Rhode Island Reds or pump, red, cardinals? Cardinals are GG's favorite bird and has several photos of cardinals in her home. I love your attention to detail including the snow and the grass. I especially love that your sweet handprints are forever captured in this piece of art.

Was this fun gluing the pieces together and then lathering them with thick black paint? It reminds me a bit of what a colony on the moon might look like from above. I love you so very much.

I see that you're doing one of your current favorite things, cutting paper with scissors, Dakota! I like this artwork. Is it a bird flying through the sunset sky? Is it a fish swimming through red algae? I love that I can alternate between the two views and enjoy each one.
