This is delightful.

I love the reckless abandon shown in this piece. Love feels a lot like that! The colors and the whimsy make me feel the warmth of someone loving me!

Love this colorful heart! The colors remind me that each of us has many facets inside our hearts. We are wonderfully made by our creator God.

Very cool. It looks like a room that would “fit” in your family’s house. I love the textured wall!

Declan, this is a VIBE! Seriously want to hang in this room.

Sitting on that couch during a recording session, sounds like something I'd want to do on a Saturday evening. Nice work Declan

I really love how many layers there are in this piece. I feel like every time I look at it there is something new to see.

WOW. This is incredible.

Sooooo coooollllll

He is pretty frightening!

Very nice. What was used to create this one?

Wow, this is so good.

Love this one. So creative.

Details seem more so in black and white. I always wanted a treehouse but never had one.

I just want to go there right now, climb the tree and read a book the whole day.

I love the composition of this piece!!! It is so compelling and vibrant. Thank you for honoring ASL with your creativity and talent!

Declan, really cool piece. I love the creativity, the popping colors and especially the unique perspectives you add like a hand that speaks volumes. Its really cool and as a whole really flows.

Me too, Emery!!!

I just read the biography of Marc Chagall and this looks like his work too.

I want to go to there.

This is awesome!!! Love it so much.

YES.

This is amazing! Also this is an exact replica of my spirit animal!

Beautiful. This is so powerful- the perspective, the title, these colors!

Goober! This is so creative!

Aw, I miss him! I can hear his squeaks over this!! Great job Decky, you captured him so well.

You never cease to amaze me with your creativity!

I love the 3D effect. And those are my colors so my eye is always especially drawn to this one.

So excitef to celebrate this life like, fun piece I feel as if Paddington is going to walk in any moment and see what a mess he's made!

So many people have been inspired by your words with this piece. I love your wisdom and intuition. You are my angel!

I am really excited about this one! Its such a great concept and i think it is perfect for the dali museum contest!

This makes me want to shrink and go exploring in the little bushes outside our house. If I want to go there then you did your job! Really well done!

This is one of my favorites. Is this made from paper cut outs? It gives a retro, joyful soul music kind feeling. I can hear it and i love it!

I LOVE this one!!!! What a delightful composition!!!!!

Declan, been following your art for some time now, amazing to see your growth. I love how you express your interest, perspective, and emotion, by inserting your deep thoughts, intelect, and creative expression through your works, keep growing,you God given talent

Your mind works in wonderful ways. So cool!!

This picture and the accompanying story fill me with joy and peace. Thank you for setting the example to slow down and notice the beauty around us!

I also think it’s important to let nature remind us that we can give all our energy to being who and what we are as simply as a squirrel or an oak tree seem to do it. I’m glad you noticed.

Wow! I love this Declan; it is so cool! It's such a creative and unique way to think about water. There is so much to appreciate about this piece. I really like the details, from the floor, which looks like square tiles, the mirror, the striped wallpaper, to the bottle of shampoo or bubble bath on the edge of the tub. I appreciate you created your exploding bathroom from recyclable materials. Most of all, the water made from resin is outstanding; what a great idea! And it adds another layer to your artistry by designing the mold for the resin - great job! Love, Grandma

If I wonder what “mayhem” could be in a bathroom, a gently overflowing toilet comes to mind. The clever use of metaphor visually in the size of the exploding water reveals our actual reaction to even the slightest leak. Brilliant, Declan! - Granddaddy N

This is so pretty. I love the shading of the shadows under the trees the most. And the perspective of the stairs. It makes me want to jump in and explore like in Mary Poppins.

I am so impressed, Declan. This is such a whimsical piece with so much movement and expression! I can imagine myself being in the middle of that bathroom feeling shocked and panic and also laughing my head off! I especially love to hear the thought process behind it and how you created each piece as well as your “thinking outside the box” for the overall concept. May be your best work to date! Love it! Good luck on the competition! Love, Mom

Adore the different shades of the Converse and the different perspectives of each shoe! Super cool concept!!

This makes me want to go lie in the sun for a while afternoon reading! (With a good breeze)

Declan! This ine is really cool. I love the hombre effect and the use of the design. The pieces to make the face and the sun and moon really pop on that backdrop. I love it!

This is one of my favorites! You have such talent!

That’s very impressive, Declan. Continue following your talent.

Love, love, love this shot. My fav. So insightful, showing a view of the sky from a different perspective.

A-maze-ing

This is going to make an amazing magnet in my Declan’s artwork magnet collection!

Hmmm. Enough purple for Mom?

This one is done so cleverly! Love the colors and execution.

A great way for the color to stand out.

Once again you blow me away with your insight to putting color and design together!

Colorful, imaginative. Great work Declan.

Very nice! Love the bright colors.

Very impressive, though a little scary! Your attention to detail and your creativity shine in this one.

Declan, I’ve been an NFL fan since we could watch on TV. My favorite team was the (then) Baltimore Colts and favorite player was their QB Johnny Unitas. Yes, Rice was the best. Well done!

Declan, this is one of my favorite pieces ever. Because this is your interests combining (art, football and a player you admire) the passion to create a great piece really wows! So proud of you and love seeing the different techniques you put to use!

I love this so much. I love the thoughts behind the concept of designing the dream of a wide receiver. Really well done!

I love this Flamingo! She (or he) makes me think of my choice to become a Floridian 41 years ago in the land of Flamingos and Flowers!

Like the shadowing.

“early childhood”, utterly adorable.

I totally love this one!! Pine cone details are so good.

This is so cool!! I love the colors a lot.

Love the colors and the detail of the pine cones. Its cool to learn of the techniques behind the piece. I would have never realized that background was created bt shaving cream!

Oh I looooove this! So creative and so many little details! Good job, Decky!

Mushrooms and dandelions.

I see you!

Love this one!

The sculpture garden is really cool! The depth of the various pieces creates interest and pulls your eye into the picture. Nice work!

I love this one. Ingenious and creative, especially the spots of color.

T shirt logo

Everyone probably thinks a train would come from behind.

The process of creating this is something I have never heard of before. The effect is really intriguing.

I really love this. The depth of background is really cool. I love how you used a reflection in a window to give it that depth. And the movement of the players and the ball is very evident too! Not to mention your love of this subject matter!

Ok, this is cool!! Love the details you captured from the original in this!

Love the contrast of colors in this one.

We assure you it was done safely, supervised and with caution, but he was SO excited to execute this piece. He lit up with anticipation after the fact and it has been the highlight of the start of the school year for him!! Love it!!
