Max Very creative art work. I love the color spectrum. The bubbles are amazing and look like they are floating in the air. Keep up the great work. Love Brad and Steph -- Stephanie

Hi, Max!! We really like the array of bottles and the colors that drift through them from one end of the color spectrum to another. With all the bubbles floating above them, the painting looks like it is in water. Really beautiful. Very nice. Love to you and your family, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike -- mike

Hey, Max, how are you? We like this rainstick, but we have never heard of such a thing. Did you invent it? Does it create rain clouds in the sky? Can your Dad use it when the crops need more rain? In any case, it really looks wonderful and full of color. You are a very imaginative and creative person, Max, and we always look forward to seeing your artwork. Say "Hi" to your Mom and Dad and Sam for us. Love, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike -- Michael

Max, who knew you could take an item like a simple backpack and make it artful. Your use of color is great and the detail right down to the buckle is too. You have put together a really wonderful collection of art this year and I'm proud of you. Love, Grandma -- Grandma

Hey, Max. It is amazing how much stuff of many different kinds that a backpack can carry. We don't know if you and Sam carry backpacks to school, but if you do they probably have just about everything in them except your Dad's tractor. You have shown just how complicated and important a backpack can be by painting all these beautiful watercolors. That picture you painted almost vibrates with color, like energy is coming out of it in all directions--kind of like YOU! We are very proud of your painting, Max, and we hope you keep it up. Love, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike -- Michael

Hey, Max. We can't believe how great your art work is. You must have a really good teacher and you must be a really good and interested student to be able to create such neat stuff. We love your space picture and wonder how you got all those elements of color and composition together in such a pleasing way. The lines on the planets look like the lines of ancient riverbeds on Mars and the impact craters of asteroids that have hit from outer space. You really are creating some interesting stuff, Max. Keep it up, buddy, and please keep sending us your stuff. Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike -- Jan and Mike

Hi, Max. Your latest work of art is really beautiful--a "blues guitar." Ask your Mom and Dad what the "blues" are. You have a real knack for putting meaningful things into your paintings, Max. We wish we had your talent. Give your Mom and Dad a hug for us. Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike -- Jan and Mike

Max, this might be my personal favorite of your art just because I know how musical you are too. Except for the color, it looks like your new Fender. I really enjoyed hearing your new piano piece over the phone the other day. It's nice watching you grow up with all of your different interests. Love, Grandma -- Grandma

Hi, Max. We really like this art. Did you do this with colored pencils? I like all the lines and details that you put into it. The old man looks like he's got all kinds of colorful thoughts coming out of his head, and his eyes make him look like he is surprised by all those thoughts. We look forward to receiving more of your art. Say "hi" to your family for us. Love, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike

Max this is wonderful. It looks like it has 3 dementions. We can almost see the snow falling. Keep up the great work, it really looks like you have fun doing it. Love Brad and Steph

Hi, Max. This is a wonderful, snowy scene of winter that you have created and we are very glad to be able to see it. It looks so chilly and cold and really beautiful. You know something? It also looks very still and quiet, like walking out into the snow on a cold night with your Mom and Dad and brother and everyone just stands there very quietly and looks up at the sky and around at the cold night before going back inside where it is warm. Merry Christmas to you, Max, and to everyone in your family. Love, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike

Max This pilgram looks like he really enjoyed his Thanksgiving meal and has lots to be thankful for. You did a grat job with the eyes and the smile. Keep it up and thanks for sharing Love Brad and Steph

Hey, Max. That pilgrim picture looks really neat. Why is he so happy? Probably because he feels that he has a lot to be thankful for on that first day ever of Thanksgiving. We have a lot to be grateful for, too, don't we? Say hi to your family for us. Have a nice Thanksgiving Day, and a nice weekend. Love, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike
- on December 9, 2009
Max, it is really great to see your art every so often. Jan and I think you are doing a great job and we hope you enjoy making art as much as we enjoy seeing your creations. We hope you and Sam and your Mom and Dad have a happy Thanksgiving. Steph and Brad are coming to our house for a couple of days at Thanksgiving and then going to St. James to see Brad's family on the day after Thanksgiving. Say "hi' to your family for us, and keep on creating such interesting art. Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike

Hey Max What a wonderful Molas. We really like the use of color. Your Molas does not look to happy to be made into a flat piece. What animal did you pick? Keep up the great work Love Brad and Steph

Max Great job with the whole picture. We love all the white eyes and the orange back ground is wonderful. You do terrific work and have a creative eye. We really enjoy looking at all your work. Hope to see you soon. Love Brad and Steph

Hi, Max--- I really like how you put so many different spooky creatures into this panorama. I know you love to create things like the cross you made out of scrap wood when I was at the farm last Sunday and the cross I have in my garden that you welded out of scrap metal. Creativity is a gift and I hope you use it in some way all of your life. Love, Grandma

Hi, Max! This Halloween picture is really a good one with all kinds of spooky critters and even a bare-limbed tree with eyes. In fact, we do like all the eyes in this dark and weird picture. They really stand out as they should in an artistic creation for Halloween. Say "hi" to your Mom and Dad for us, and we hope to see you one of these days. Keep doing your art, Max. We really enjoy it. Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike

Max Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful drawings with us. Great job with the lighting!! Did you have these kind of great pumpkins in your garden? Really nice picture for both halloween and Thanksgiving. Keep it up. Love Brad and Steph
- on October 30, 2009
Hey Max, Love the pumpkins! I especially like the light hitting the tops of them. I hope you are enjoying creating these neat pictures 'cuz I sure enjoy seeing them! Joan
- on October 27, 2009
Max, we really like the way you created these pumpkins with the light on the top of them. The dark blue background makes it look like night time, and like moonlight is glowing on top of the pumpkins. That night time view of the pumpkins makes a softly spooky atmosphere just like it is Halloween. You must feel really good about this picture, because you really did a good job here. When a person is creating art it is really a fun experience. The person sort of loses track of time and his mind just goes deeply into the art that he is creating. Such good feelings make a person want to create more. We hope you keep doing this. Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike

Hi Max, I LOVE the tucan picture you made with oil pastels - what GREAT use of color and shading! I also enjoyed the shoe picture. That looked like it was a lot of fun to do. (I don't believe it is your shoe, tho' cuz the laces are tied :) You have a lot of talent for drawing. Keep up the good work!
- on October 20, 2009
Hi Max Thanks so much for sharing your art work with us. You are doing a great job and all the art work is wonderful. We really like the bright colors. Brad's favorite is the tennis shoe. Keep up the good work Love Steph and Brad
- on October 15, 2009
Hey, Max. We didn't really know that you were becoming such a good artist. You have created some paintings here that we really like. They each are very different from each other. We liked them all, but particularly the toucan (a bird we think is really cool), and the tennis shoe. We hope you keep learning about art and find that it is rewarding and satisfying to you when you create more. Love to you and your family, Aunt Jan and Uncle Mike

Max, I was so impressed with all of your art projects. It must have taken a long time to draw all of the lines on "Abstract Flowers". I'm looking forward to seeing more of your art! Love, Grandma
