This is so cute and creative!

It's Pez Dispenser!!!

I love it and I would totally buy it.

Love this. All the angles are catching my eye and the bright red and yellow

This is so cool! It's eyecatching and exciting.

This is lovely. I now know the inspiration for that Easter egg you made. Cool

What an excellent use of color!!

I love the use of color and shape in this piece!

I like that you are using different mediums. You did great with the texture in this piece.

I know your dad will treasure this!

This is so beautiful and thoughtful! Your dad will love it.

I know he's going to love this!

I love this so much! I bet he'll be really happy to have your art to remind him how much you love him!

Gorgeous! I love how hard you worked in this. The background is great! The Pine Marten us great too!

Nicely done!

You have a great eye and I love the stories behind the art.

Way to apply color theory! This is on the back of our front door for decorative gourd season.

I love this one!

Getting all technical. I like it!

Awesome shading! I can really see where the shadow is.

Beautiful. Nice use of color and medium

This has me inspired! It's so beautiful.

That's great!

I love everything about this. Astoria you are really very talented. Your art, your ideas, your thought...all hlow me away

I don't know how I missed this one, but now I have to go look up the the artist that inspired you!

From the artist: I thought it could be named "Glitter in my bird book" because we read a book called "Beautiful blackbird" about a blackbird whose feathers made glittery rainbows. And the blackbird said "no matter what I will always be me". He has the glitter by his eyes because the sun hurt his eyes and he's kind of crying. I think it's really beautiful and I liked making it. I like the googly eye. It took me 3 glitter glue bottles. I think it's really unique. I think this is supposed to represent that every color's beautiful. I like doing one actual rainbow and one backwards rainbow. I made it too glittery. One more thing, every color is beautiful from black to the color that hurts your eyeballs.

This is amazing!

From the artist: I don't know. I just wanted to put fox and wolf. I wanted to do some black and white but there were really pretty colors that I found, so I used colors. It's supposed to be like a jungle gym, but like there's a spot where you put on special clothes and gloves and shoes to help you not fall off and hurt yourself. So I think that I make it like where you have to be like a gymnast. So people can help their kids develop a good brain set.

Fantastic!

This is very cool. I wonder if we could modge podge it and make it sturdy so it would last for years to come.

This is a most excellent work of art. They way you capture the smile is very cool. The color choices are awesome. Great job.

I love the matching hat and mittens. Good job, AJ!

I love the hat and mittens. They are awesome. I would totally buy them...but my favorite is that she fixed it to show her missing teeth

The artist says she had to erase one spot to make her missing tooth. One if the snowflakes has a book on the ends. She was the first person done and her title is very long. She thinks the eyebrows look like a mustache circle.

I think your pumpkin is awesome. I like big pumpkins too. And I really enjoyed reading the information you added. By the way, VanGohn painted it in June 1889.

From the artist: we based it on the painting Starry Night. We were focused on nature. We used fall stuff. We read a book about a little dot and every Halloween it got really mad because it got mistaken for a pumpkin. The teacher taught us how to draw pumpkins first, then we drew it with our pencils first. We grabbed textures and went over it wirt two kinds of crayons. We did the same with our leaves. Then we added the wind and the stars from Starry Night. I know Starry Night is from the 1880s or 18-somethings. And it was a really pretty painting and I'm glad mine looks good and it's a really big pumpkin because I like big pumpkins.

I love the colors. This is my favorite so far. Excellent work from my favorite artist!

That looks great! Get it? The Great Pumpkin!

From the artist: it's based on the book the dot. The main dot is the gray dot right in the middle and you could do whatever you wanted. The yellow part is the fancy frame.

I love the colors in this. It just makes me happy to look at it.

Another fine example of your artistic creativity and skill. Love the frame shape, and the lines. The painting on the inside looks like a party, it's very cool. You are my awesome, Astoria.

The surprise face on the guy in the middle is fantastic. It's like he's amazed by the looping line, or maybe the thick line has wowed him. Very fun.

Merv is awesome, Sprinkles says to tell him "me-yow", says Merv will know what it means. His little toe beans are adorable, such a great piece of art. Proud of you.

Love it!

I love this cat! From the artist: the cat is wearing blush and that pink on the ears is the inside of the ears and those are it's toe beans and it's name is Pepper when it's in trouble and Merv the rest of the time. And it has flowers. We folded it in half to cut out the cat shape.

Wonderful!

Loopy! I love the loopy lines best. Beautiful work as always.

Love the colors! Excellent piece.
