The others in the past have had some description about the project. I can see this was done with great skill and care, and, I don't know what it is.
-- Ken

Rachel, you amaze me! You're getting better and better all the time. I don't know how you come up with such creative ideas. This little sculpture is one of my favorites. And I can't wait till I can get home and see the things I've ordered since I've been gone. Oh boy??? Love Aunt Gayle??
-- Gayle

Another great one, a study in perspective!
-- Ken

What a sense of cautious movement you have captured for this cat! I have so enjoyed seeing your artistic abilities develop over the years Rachel.
-- Pat

This is beautiful! My ex-wife Lane used to paint with watercolors on T-shirts. She used a hair dryer to stop the spread of the color where she wanted, a really interesting technique.
-- Ken

It so mystical it reminds of your beautiful mind.
-- Teresa

Hey, Rachel! I missed the last few pieces, and I am happy to be back on track now. Your work continues to improve and amaze me as you mature! You go, girl!
-- Ken

Wow! What a beautiful picture. The detail on the hair and fur looks soft enough to touch. It is very nice how you have highlighted the background.
-- Teresa

I wish I knew how you got the background to look like it has so much depth, the bee looks suspended in space. She is going to jump off the page. - Cheers
-- Teresa

Oh I love these guys! Beecause of the spindly legs and the cool wings and then the big eyes and antennas. You are a true artist. Hugs
-- Teresa

Very beautiful color contrast and it has made me more anxious for the flowers to bloom this year !
-- Teresa

I don't remember seeing this bamboo but it is lovely. It belongs on the wall!
-- Pat

This brushwork is really interesting, as well as making a pretty picture. I like the flower placement and the various styles. It really made me smile.
-- Par

Hmmm, I just now learned that you have many, many things posted that I didn't get an email alert. I scrolled back a ways, and was especially impressed with the Japanese Brush Stroke work. As to storyboards, once again I got to learn by looking up what they are.
-- Ken

Very sweet. My favorite, favorite color combination when I was a young girl !
-- Teresa

When I first saw this I thought it was built from regular hardware. The shadows add so much dimension it looks like you put a lot of work into it.
-- Teresa

Very nice, I am enjoying looking at it so much that I keep looking at it longer.
-- Teresa

The bird is great, but didn't you need to hand-carve a pole to put it on?
-- Ken

Hi Rachel! I love this! It has my favorite greens, and the texture and designs you included are perfect! And I'll bet it was fun to make.??
-- Gayle

I love the movement you created with this piece.
-- Tania

Great appearance on the apple. You created quite a look. I like??
-- Tania

Nice, simple, art, w/ good color Rachel. Good job!
-- Tania

I love these colors. In about 1963 or so I worked for a pottery, which made among other things Ming-style ashtrays. I had one made for my Dad, with his name in it. When he died in 66, I claimed it, and I still have it on my dresser, keeping keys and paperclips safely stored.
-- Ken

That's really cool! Do you know anything more specific about what part of South America, or what time period? I don't remember seeing sea foam in Ecuador.
-- Ken

Wow, this is a cute one. I like the color choices and the proportions seem perfect. Good job Rachel!
-- Pat

Another winner!
-- Ken

What is la-CHE-la?
-- Ken

Ms Rachel, you rarely cease to amaze me!! How do you make a pencil draw like that?! Hey you wanna make a trade for a few months? Lemme borrow your artistic talents and I'll let you play my dobro......?? I think I might check the box below stating I'm under 13 yrs old and see what happens. Maybe I'll be under 13 yrs old again. I love you and can't wait to see you in San Francisco! Xoxo
-- Aunt Gaylesy

All the other artists have made him much heavier. You must be kind!
-- Ken

What an interesting picture Rachel. The mix of color with black-and-white must have been a challenge. We always look forward to seeing how your art is developing. And I hope you are enjoying the time you spend producing your work. Love, GP
-- Pat

I was shown how to get butterflies to walk up onto my hand in Ecuador. Really sweet!
-- Ken

Well done Rachel! It looks as though you have might have been learning about the Day of the Dead celebrations coming up this weekend. love, GP
-- Pat

So cool ! The scull looks like the right proportions and just in time for Halloween. ( Who's is it ? )
-- Teresa

So cool!! I love it! Been seeing Alotta skulls lately!????
-- Aunt Gayle

Way cool! I really enjoy getting these!
-- Ken

Nice!
-- Ken

Another beauty! I'd never heard of conté, I had to look it up! It has such "depth."
-- Ken

Rachel the hand looks REAL ! A professional job! Love aunt teresa
-- teresa

Rachel I love your interpretation of the Egyptian style and colors so much I have a T-shirt. Love, Love YOU Aunt Teresa
-- teresa

In my non-artistic world I have used grid systems many times, for instance to make a large sign. When I need quality, though, I'll call on you!
-- Ken

Were you channeling Picasso, Rachel? That looks really happy and cheerful--the kind that makes me smile. Love you,
-- Grandma Pat

Well, now, THAT makes a pretty name!
-- Ken

My goodness, Rachel! That looks like a dog we had, way back when your mom was a girl, named Whiskers. You selected an interesting color for the background. We always enjoy seeing your latest art work.
-- Pat

Rachel, You have many inspirational and beautiful pieces of unique art work I always look forward to more! Love Aunt
-- Teresa

I'm so glad your school participates in this program to share your art work, Rachel. It is always fun to see what you have been working on and I love to see your use of color change over the years.
-- Grandma Pat

Poppy Posters are presumably popular among proper people. And this one is great.
-- Ken

I like the variety of your work, my fav is the center one too. Very cool
-- Tania

Hola Rachel, this piece has good texture. I really like this one, there's a lot to look at.
-- Tania

Hi, Rachel, My favorite of these is the top center. You go, girl!
-- Ken

I'd never heard of International Dot Day. I Googled it, and it's pretty cool, thanks.
-- Ken

This one makes me smile I love it! All the tiny details and colors are beautiful.
-- Teresa

That is so cool! Since you are a future paleontologist, you probably are an expert on cat-dragons, eh?
-- Ken

Wow Rachel, this is another one with all my favorite colors. I get a big smile every time I see it and I'll bet it makes you happy too. GP
-- Pat

Hello there Rachael, I love this piece. It is bold, unique, and memorable. Like all of your art work, I could see it framed on a wall for eyes to enjoy. Great work. Let your inspirations take you there. You have your own style! :) With love, Tania
-- Tania

Wow! This one drove me to Wikipedia! I had not heard of Mondrian before... Good job! Love, Ken
-- Ken

Beautiful! I think this is one of my favorites!!! I always get compliments on your drawing I put on the back of my ipad. It's the one of what looks like huge sharks.
-- Aunt Gayle

Wow again! I especially like the degree of color variation in the two corner flowers, upper right and lower left. And this was done with pencils, eh? Love, Ken
-- Ken

Rachel, I love the colors, the style, and the creation. A great piece to admire!
-- Tania

Beautiful! You rock!
-- Ken

Love them! The faint white lines within a silhouette are new to me, and they add a tremendous amount of depth.
-- Ken

Hi, Rachel. You continue to amaze and inspire me!
-- Ken

Dear Rachel, I'm constantly surprised by your talent, creativity and imagination! What a gifted young lady you are, Sweetie, and I am so proud of you! I love looking at your new artwork because every single one is different, and it's so fun to see the ideas you come up with and how you put them together to make such creative pictures and beautiful colors! Eric loves his cutting board with the fish on it! And I always get compliments when I send out your notecards! When I get back I'll put some more orders in for pressies for my friends and family! They're perfect! Miss you, Sweetie, and will see you in a couple months. I hope someday you guys can come and visit! Love, Aunt Gayle. Xoxo
-- Gayle

Excellent perspective and love the COLORS!
-- Papa

Great perspective work! My favorite animal is the rabbit, but mostly I like the perspective. Love, Ken
-- Ken

Wow, Rachel! A room full of animals is an interesting added touch. (Donna's favorite is the turtle or tortoise) It is fun to see your color choices too. I'm so glad that you have this way of sharing your work with us. Grandma Pat
-- Pat

Love this, Rachel! Your artwork is stunning and really enjoy seeing the progession of your work! We miss you! Carleen
-- Carleen

What an interesting technique! I haven't ever heard of Op Art, and I like it! Love, ya, Ken
-- Ken

Beautiful again, Rachel! There is a place on the Web for your statement about these pieces. I'd love to hear your thoughts on them! Love, Ken
-- Ken

What a beautiful pot, Rachel. You are a multi-talented girl! I look forward to seeing each new item you post here.
-- Pat

Wow. I never heard of a felt pot. I don't suppose you can use it for soup, eh? It is really beautiful, and I can imagine keeping pencils in it. We hope to see you this summer! Love, Ken
-- Ken

Thank You Rachel for sharing. Very nice work.
-- Michael

Rachel, another cool drawing. It looks like the girl is surrounded by a beautiful stained glass window frame. I miss seeing you and your parents. Love Susan
-- Susan

Oh my dear Rachel, you are amazing! I love the color in this drawing. It seems like you don't usually use pastel colors, but I love your sense of color. Will loooooooooved his book Fox on Box and he wants to give you a special Thank You. He's been practicing his tongue twisters just for you! You are such a special and talented young lady. We feel lucky to have you for our friend. Susan
-- Susan

Oh, Wow! I can feel the salty spray in my face! Argh, Argh, Matey!
-- Ken

You have such a great sense of color. These colors are some of my favorites! Great job Rachel. I hope I get to see you again soon. Susan and Will
-- Susan

Outstanding again! Do I see some words in the upper left? What were they?
-- Ken

Daughter, your work is wonderful! This self-portrait accurately reflects some things about you: your bright curious eyes, the warmth you bring to others with your smile, and your continuous state of happiness. Great art is all about imparting an emotion or feeling to others -- and you can do that! Keep up the great work, Peanut! I'm proud of you!
-- Papa

Hi Rachel, I LOVE this self-portrait! The freckles are my favorite part! I also love the eyes!! I think this looks very advanced for a 3rd grader. You are such a wonderful artist. I'm want to come over and practice ballet with you. Love
-- Susan

Hi! So, this is a self-portrait? I didn't know you had freckles!! I guess that means it's been too long since I've seen you! Great art--you rock!
-- Ken

Hi, Rachel. Isn't it interesting how similar Australian Native art is to Navajo, African, and early Chinese even? Makes me think we are all connected!
-- Ken

Wow! And I have a poem for you, too! Roses are red, violets are purple, Sugar is sweet, and so is maple-syrple. (Really written by Roger Miller)
-- Ken

Rachel!!! This if fabulous, so bold, so creative, so you! I especially love the poem you wrote at the bottom. It is very appropriate since you recently changed your favorite color from pink to purple. Keep up the wonderful artwork you do. I'm so proud of you! --- Mama

Hi Rachel, I was just looking at your portfolio and I can't pick my favorite! You have really done a lot of great work. Keep up the creativity!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love, Susan
-- Susan

Hey Rachel, I like your work so much, maybe you should come decorate my house!!??
-- Ken

What a beautiful scene! Makes me love winter even more.. Rachel, your work is always beautiful and brings a smile. We miss you and hope you are enjoying all that 2nd grade has to offer!
-- Carleen

Rachel, your found objects makes me feel all sorts of different ways. At first I'm hungry. Then I'm sneezy and ticklish. And finally I discover a colorful, furry beastie and wonder if this is some kind of "ya-ya sisterhood" mask! You are so-o-o creative. I love the objects, their colors and the freedom you bring to your work. Simply "marv-e-lous, darling!"
-- Julie

Oh Rachel! Your artwork makes me all warm and lovey dovey inside! That wonderful rose color and the big heart right in the middle of your "R", truly represents who you are.
-- Julie

Rachel, I think this is such a beautiful piece! I love how you used all the different materials to make the mask multidimensional and the colors are great! It reminds me a lot actually of a mask I did when I was about your age.. but yours is much more cool! Love it and all your other work, sweet girl. Thank you so much for sharing!
-- Carleen

Hey, Rachel! You live in Wisconsin, so how do you know so much about seashells??!!
-- Ken

Hi Rachel, I think this is a wonderful picture. It looks like stars in bubbles floating in the sky or the sea! It makes me happy. Thanks for sharing! Susan Hunter
-- Susan

Oh Rachel, You are one psychedelic chick! It really looks alive, with parts poking off the edge like that. And the way you build plane upon plane of color gives it incredible depth! Well done! - Julie, Emily and Tim Neal
-- Julie

Rachel, You're the best! Where did you see so many sea shells?
-- Ken

Hi Rachel! I'm not sure if I sent our message correctly. Your artwork is always a joy to see and I love your creative spirit and attention to detail. Freckles all over your face and those wonderfully bold colors was a terrific self portrait. I'll be sending your artsonia on to Emily's personal account. She has such a great time when she watches over you and your friends. I'm sure she wishes she had a little sister just like you! I hope you'll always be close buddies. Tim and I send a big hug and congratulations on another fascinating art page.
-- Julie

Dear Rachel, This fish picture features many techniques that you used with the paint. It looks like waterdolor. It really makes me feel happy and I am going to get some postcards because I can't find any that I like better than the ones that you have made. Please continue procuding thiis interesting and fabulous work so that we all may enjoy it. I think that you are a special person.
-- Susan

Rachel, I really, really, really love your fish picture. You used such beautiful colors - all my favorites! I also like the composition of the picture, with one fish diagonal in front of 3 other horizontal ones. Truly a spectacular design! Love, Aunt Jennifer
-- Jennifer

Rachel, you continue to amaze me! You're the greatest!
-- Ken

Rachel, I absolutely LOVE your creation "Audubon Bird." I really like the way you've combined the colors, which are exquisite. I am ordering some note cards with your beautiful bird on them. Lots of love, Proud Aunt Jennifer
-- Jennifer

Seeing your artwork is such fun Rachel, thank you. I hope you have fun doing it. With love from your Grandma Pat
-- Pat

Darling Rae-Rae, This is so, so beautiful! I love the many textures and colors moving around. It's deep and rich and lovely. You are an amazing artist. Love, Mama

Superb! Wow!

Rachel, I love your dinosaurs. Do they have names? Do you want to be a scientist when you grow up? Hugs and Smooches, Aunt Leslie

Rachel, you ROCK, girl!!! I love you, Ken

Hello my little darling! I love, love, love the way you showed the braids from Mexico in your hair!. I also like the colorful border and the use of different media in one piece. xoxo Mama

Hi Rachel, I like the way you integrated the American Flag in your picture at a time when the country was voting for a new President. That was clever! ... and it looks like you drew an apple for the teacher! Your friend, Susan Hunter

Hi, Rachel, I was just thinking about you and your art yesterday, and now here is a new one! Very creative! Lotsa love, Ken

What a wonderful snowman! I love his scarf and funny nose. Big Hugs, Aunt Leslie

Hi Rachel.. Another fabulous piece of art from you. Thanks for sharing them with me. Love Susan H

This is spectacular. I love your use of color and blending!

Get a look at that detail! I'm so impressed with your interpretation of a snow person. We hope you all had a marvelous holiday season. The Timothy Neal Family ;o)

Rachel, your snowman is such a jolly fellow. I love his Santa hat and warm blue muffler....he must live in Wisconsin. Do you think he would melt if he came to visit me in Virginia? Love and hugs from Great Aunt Linda

He seems to be bundled up for cold weather! I wonder why? ;-) Uncle Kenny

Wow! You are so talented, Rachel!! We love this picture, the flowers look so bright and happy and the vase is beautiful! We're so proud of you! Love, Aunt Gayle and Shelby

Oh my goodness, Rachel, you sure do make some beautiful artwork! We miss you and your Mom and Dad and will try to get together over the holidays. Smooches, Julie, Tim and Emily

Dear Rachel....Your sunflowers make me feel so happy. You are a wonderful artist and I love your pictures. Love from Great Aunt Linda.

The details on the vase are amazing, Rachel. I hope you had fun making this picture. with love from Grandma Pat

This is my favorite art piece. How beautiful! Great work Rachel! Love, Aunt Leslie

Beautiful!!!!!

I think Rachel's Sunflowers are beautiful. They look like they are just opening up!!!! Great job Rachel! Your friend, Susan Hunter

Rachel! This is beautiful! So fun you are able to share with everyone. I especially love the fall tree. Can't wait to see what you do next! Carleen

What an amazing piece of artwork. I love the colors! Great work Rachel!

Is that a piece of fruit? What is "what can you do with a dot?"

Did you do leaf rubbings?

That's a nice piece of artwork. I like the colors.

Rachel - I love all the colors in this picture. It makes me feel very happy when I look at it.

Hi Rachel, what fun to be able to see your art work this way! Thanks for sharing. It looks like you are doing a great job in kindergarten. with love from Grandma Pat
