Riley, all of your art is diverse in many ways. This one has many aspects to focus on. I love the happy looking cow and flowers all around. I'm still studying it to determine what else hits me.

What a sweet, happy cow enjoying the vibrant green grass surrounded by dragonflies! We have a lot of dragonflies at the creek. You do such a great job using several shades of each color. Awesome drawing.

Not dandelions, dragonflies!

I can’t tell you how much I love this! It makes me so happy! I love the vibrant green grass. I love his intelligent, caring eyes. I love the beautiful flowers on his face, and all the dandelions flying around. His upright tail tells me he’s in a good mood!

This is a happy shark who I imagine is dancing through the ocean to very lively music. You chose brilliant colors for this shark.

What a cool looking alligator, with the the spikes, sharp teeth and bold colors! he means business! And he sure has stirred up a lot of bubbles in the water! Love the detail on his tail!

What a colorful alligator!!! Reminds me of Little Red Riding Hood when she notices what sharp teeth he has. I love the shapes, shading, and colors. Great job, Riley!

"Busy Bee" exhibits your talent in dept perception, color and imagination. There are many details. I think this is a friendly bee and I'm not afraid of it. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Posted 24 days ago by Carolyn (fan)
When I see this bee, I think of Be Happy and your radiant smile. I bet you smiled when you created this busy bee. As usual, you paid a lot of attention to detail and him being at work in his hive. Your artwork is never boring. You use several shades of each color which makes it really interesting. He even has a stinger!

RILEY! When I saw this piece, it put a big smile on my face, just like you put on this whale! (Of course all of your pieces make me smile!) I love how many different blues and greens you were able to incorporate here. Love this!!
Posted 28 days ago by Brad (Father)
What a perfect title for this piece! My first thought when I looked at him was, boy does he look busy! Love all the detail on the bee and the colors of the honeycomb. Well done! This is your second bee piece this year, and it’s really cool to contrast.

What a beautiful whale! The smile on his face makes me so happy! His eyes look a lot like yours in that they smile even when they’re closed. I love him! But not as much as I love you! And wonderful use of shades of blue!

Don't think I've ever seen a happier blue dude! It looks like it just finished eating a piece of Riley's delicious cake. Of course, I love all the blues, my favorite color in so many shades. Great job.

Another great job, Riley. Beautiful blended colors and expressive eyes. I feel like I'm floating in water with her.

What a vibrant piece! So much movement! I can feel the this squid moving through the water the way the bubbles are drawn, and it feels like he’s checking me out with his big expressive eyes. Love it!

Your attention to detail amazes me. You don't just draw a gold-colored fish in water but have different shades of blue in the background and the water, in the table or surface the bag is on, and definitely in the gorgeous fish. I wonder what you would name it? Great job Riley.
Posted 1 month ago by Mema (fan)
Riley, I LOVE this drawing. Its quite spectacular how you used so many shades of gold, yellow, reds, and whatever else to color your goldfish - not just one color! And the rest of this piece is so cool too.
Posted 1 month ago by Brad (Father)
What a beautiful goldfish! I love all the colors of the fish and the detail of the bag. I think he would love to live in a bowl in your bedroom.

Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! So many shades of my favorite color and other colors that combine so nicely! I would love to know your thoughts as you create your artwork. I just don't know how you do it. You have more creativity in your little finger than I have. I'm so glad that you share your beautiful artwork. Can't wait to see what's next!

Riley, this is amazing! I love the range of colors of the curliques, from the vibrant blue of the base to the coral pink fish tail shape. This is fun to look at - which I have done several times and will again and again. It makes me smile.

Wow!!!! I LOVE this. You continue to amaze me with your artwork. I thought about getting a yard flag for this, but I bet your next art will be even better, which is hard to imagine anything looking better than this. I think you have grown with the depth of thought and imagination and will only get better. The different designs, colors and placement are so thoughtful and beautiful. I cannot imagine creating something this awesome. You are awesome and have so much talent. Keep up the great work!!!!!

Riley, I love the different shades of pink in the glaze. Sometime I would really like you to tell me how you did this.

I love this owl! The eyes are awesome and so expressive. The nose is the cutest thing! I can tell how much care and thought you put into your work. The way you use color shows so much feeling and imagination—it feels like each shade has a story behind it. You give your artwork depth and heart. Keep trusting your ideas and enjoying the process of creating. Your artwork is special because you made it, and the effort you put in truly shines through. I can’t wait to see what you create next! Keep exploring, experimenting, and having fun with your art.

Riley, this is a very special bunny. It must be a girl because of the beautiful long, dark eyelashes and colorful nose. I hope you gave her a name. Granddaddy and I look forward to adding it to your magnet collection on our refrigerator. Gran

Riley, my favorite aspect of your latest artwork is how well you showed perspective - the sheep and flowers far away appear to be so much smaller than the ones that are much closer to the viewer. Nice job!
Posted 7 months ago by Granddaddy (fan)
Very nice job. I love the colors in the sky - the shading is really expressive. I like the hills and valley in between. Makes me want to roll down from the top of the hill. Very colorful flowers. I really like the lambs shown from two angles. Another awesome art project Riley. I'm so proud of you and your artistic abilities!

Ahhh! My favorite animal and a beautiful horse it is. As you probably know, it is the year of the fire horse. Your horse is the color of fire and has a nice, soft touchable mane and tail with gorgeous colors. With horses being my favorite animal, I've tried and tried to draw one but can't seem to get the head right. But yours is perfect with alert ears. He isn't going to miss anything. Great job!!!
