Toby, This treehouse is amazing! The perspective on the house is sooo good and I love the sun peeking out in the corner. Ladder access is important too! ? ? Nana

This is a really cool piece of art because there is so much to experience. A coat of arms I presume, and the shield tells different stories. It's great to see our "Lee" name highlighted, and you outdid yourself on this one! Great job Toby.

This is awesome Toby I love your planter of cacti! It reminds me of Arizona. You are a talented artist. KEEP CREATING! Nana

Might this be titled Koala? Your latest work of art immediately helps me relax and let my mind wander. The backdrop looks comfy, cozy and peaceful for sure. The array of colors adds such a bright display, and it is easy on the eyes. Your artwork is so creative, and it brings together so many shapes and colors. Well done!

Looks like a very, very cold night for them to be outside standing around. I know that winter is just around the corner and those critters better move before their tails freeze! Great job Toby.

Hey, I really like this portrait, along with all of the interesting details. The really cool crown tells me that this is an important person. You also did a great job on the symbols drawn all around the picture, each side with a different pattern. I can tell how much you like to draw and create images. Great job Toby!

Really cool Toby, I could tell that was a Squid right away. I really like the detailed design near the handles of the vase! This is a whole new area of drawing from what I have seen and it is very creative. Well done!
- Grandpa on October 16, 2024
This latest creation is really a new style and a clever way of making your hand "jump out" at the viewer. I think the patterns are creative and unique. A really nice job Toby, well done.

Toby, This really looks like a cave painting! I love this bird along with your hand prints. I’m looking forward to more awesome art work from you during your 2nd grade year. You continue to shine as a creative and artistic young man. Love, Nana
- Sheila on September 18, 2024
Great job Toby, I am so glad to see that you will continue with your artistic development in the 2nd grade. I would like to hear the story behind this drawing.
- Grandpa on August 28, 2024
I bet it would be nice to be a Happy Butterfly, able to fly around and travel to many places. Your butterfly will enjoy the sunny weather and green, green grass. It is also nice to see your handwriting on your artwork! You certainly have enjoyed your school year, and have learned so many things.
- Grandpa on August 7, 2024
How can a drawing be scary and brilliant at the same time? This one has so many dimensions and colors, I don't know where to focus my eyes first. You certainly have come a long with your ability to create interesting artwork. Wow, nice way to close out your 1st grade year.
- Grandpa on August 7, 2024
This one is so full of shapes, sizes and layers. Very interesting how you have put so much on this one piece of art. I see shapes I recognize and then you have colored and layered other things on top. Please help me understand your process the next time we speak. I suspect there are a lot of stories within this one piece of art!

I hope that building has an elevator because otherwise, there must be A LOT of stairs to get to the window! The straight lines look cool and the roof has so much detail. Thank you for sharing this great work.
- Grandpa on March 6, 2024
All dressed up and standing tall and proud. You even found a way to sneak a smiley face in the background! Great job Toby.

Hi Toby, This picture makes me think of the beach and summer! To me, it looks like a chameleon lizard! Is it? There is a pretty big wave coming towards him. Keep of the great work and I look forward to seeing your next one! Love Mimi
- Mimi on March 6, 2024
Another great job trying to capture the great outdoors. I really like the color on this one while feeling the heat from the sun beating down. Well done Toby.
- Grandpa on February 22, 2024
I can certainly see that you have been practicing with different shapes an shades of color. This is really a fantstic portrait of a healthy looking bird. Once again, you are a good storyteller with your drawings.
- Grandpa on February 7, 2024
Wow Toby, your Toucan drawing is absolutely fantastic! I’m so impressed with the vibrant and beautiful colors you chose-they really make the Toucan come to life! Keep up the fantastic work! I’m so proud of you. Love Mimi
- Lori on February 7, 2024
Once again, a nice expression of your creativity. So much color and the big smile makes me happy too. Keep up the great work, and I can hardly wait to see your next creation.
- Grandpa on December 26, 2023
This certainly is very busy artwork from you this time. What is the giraffe reaching for near the tree? By the way, is that a Koala hanging out on the branch? I bet the snake has fun living in the forest with so much going on. I really enjoy your latest effort here.
- Grandpa on January 1, 2024
What a beautiful and very active looking homestead you have created for us. I especially like that you captured so much of the farm life in one picture. Next time we talk I hope you will tell me more about this, and let me know what inspired you to do it. Great job!
- Grandpa on December 12, 2023
Great job Toby, I knew it was American Gothic as soon as I looked at it. Very good effort on making the key parts of the portrait jump right out at the audience. This just might be my favorite one so far! Keep up the good work and I look forward to see what's coming next.
- Grandpa on December 2, 2023
What a perfect way to start the holiday season. Great job Toby, this looks like a very happy Snowman. Nice to see that he has company hanging out on his nose! I enjoy seeing all the details you have in this picture. By the way, we made an ornament from this picture and it hangs on our tree.
- Grandpa on December 4, 2023
Hi Toby! I love this picture so much that I ordered an ornament for our Christmas tree! Love Mimi
- Lori on November 29, 2023
This is really authentic looking and I can almost feel the texture by the detail you have created. This is a great job Toby and I hope you frame this so you can hang it on your wall for the next Halloween season.
- Grandpa on November 22, 2023
Wow! Your artistic designs keep getting more and more interesting! I love the different shapes, colors and sizes in this one. It looks like a galaxy full of unique life forms!
- Mimi on November 22, 2023
Very colorful, full of energy and loaded with symbols and shapes. There is so much activity on this page and I noticed familiar objects right away. Great job on this full-of-motion creation!
- Grandpa on November 22, 2023
This must have take a lot of time to make each section different from the others. By the way, what is YOUR favorite color?
- Grandpa on October 23, 2023
Wow, such a colorful background for this happy looking turtle.
- Grandpa on October 18, 2023
Toby-I think of you each day because this piece of art is now my mouse pad while I am at work. It is full of color and expression and makes me smile.
- Grandpa on October 18, 2023
Toby, I love this! So far this year this piece is my favorite! You are so creative. Love, Nana
- Sheila on October 4, 2023
Hi Toby--I really enjoyed your latest creation and the colors are amazing. I can tell how creative you are by the way you place so many shapes on the paper. Great job and I look forward to your next creation.
- Grandpa on September 16, 2023
Excellent job Toby, I knew it was you as soon as I saw it. Your smile and excited eyes tell me that you are enjoying the 1st grade. I like the way you framed it as well. Well done and I look forward to seeing more of your creative talent.
- Grandpa on August 28, 2023
Hi Toby! I love watching you create new drawings! I'm excited to see what you draw next! The smile in this picture put a big smile on my face too.
