Wow, we'd love a personal tour of Ethan-ville when we visit you this summer! Your imagination continues to be as active and interesting as ever--way to go, buddy! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

What a cool project! I totally see you, but in map form! Love the way you colored the letters in the title.
-- Aunt Sharon

I love it - Ethanville! Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Indeed.
-- Aunt Sharon

This piece is very soothing to the eye, Ethan. The colors and composition are very calming, so if Janet and I ever become irritated about something, we'll look at this piece and feel better right away! Very cool creation. Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie/janet

Love your Zentangle! Looks like a set of pretty gears!
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, I love this! Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

We really have to "hand" it to you, Ethan. Your first creation this year gets 5 stars--one for each finger! Great job! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Love how you maintained such an intricate pattern throughout. So excited for another year of your artwork! (Grade 5? What?)
-- Aunt Sharon

This is really a beautifully designed and executed piece, Ethan! It definitely looks like something you would see in a museum, encased in a special glass exhibit. You've outdone yourself, buddy! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Wow, Ethan, you've managed to create a whole new species with this dazzling piece! Maybe if you showed it to George Lucas, he would include it in the new Star Wars movies!
-- Howie

Ethan, you light up our life with vibrant colors and geometric excellence. Great creation! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

So cool!
-- Aunt Sharon

So cool, Ethan! Love the colors you chose. Looks very Tiffany-like! Bottom row of blue shades is my favorite because it reminds me of warm weather and the ocean! Love you! Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

Love this, Ethan! But who is that interloper in the background? Too bad about your out-dated shirt, too.
-- Aunt Sharon

EXTREMELY cool drawing, Ethan! We love the vibrant, powerful color palette you used, and even though the winter is just beginning, it's good to know you're looking ahead to April and the start of the baseball season. Super job, buddy! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Ethan, great picture, and I love the colors you chose.
-- Rosalie

Great name, Ethan! Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Interesting assortment of textures here, Ethan. With the blue stitches and the white "icing" background and your name in the middle, it has the feeling of a birthday cake football! Thanks for helping us stretch our imaginations. Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Sketchbook? Please make sure you save it forever.
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, what a great idea. How did you come up with that name:) Love, Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Ethan, thanks for the eye-boggling experience of viewing your first piece this school year. Super job!
-- Howie

Cool, Ethan! Reminds me of a really cool yarmulke. :). Love the blues you chose! Hugs, Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

So interesting how similar your and Alexandra's dots are to each other!
-- Aunt Sharon

Well, Ethan, this magnificent piece of work looks scrumptious enough to eat. But please, when we come in to visit you, don't leave it lying on the kitchen table--because if we DO mistakenly bite into it, we'd need a lot of expensive dental work for our cracked teeth! Great job, buddy. Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

This is so cool, Ethan! I would eat this cupcake! But only if it is chocolate. :). Love, Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

As Dora's backpack would say, "Yum yum yum, delicioso!"
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, this is a scrumptious combination of organic and inorganic elements working together in unexpected harmony. This idea "takes the cake" in advanced artistry! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Love that it looks like your cake is resting on some sort of medieval catapult device that you can crank up and launch to throw a cake into your enemy's face!
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, thanks for this birthday cake. Love, Grandma
-- Rosalie

Ethan, you've made a big "splash" in creative expression with this really neat sculpture. You chose some very cool colors for your wiry little friend, and with his mouth so wide open, it looks like he's all set for lunch or dinner. Great work, buddy! \ Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Ethan, this landscape is nothing short of spectacular! You're growing as an artist by leaps and bounds, and it's so wonderful to see your progress with each picture. We love it!! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Wow! Do you ever consider selling your artwork? If this one is ever up for sale, I would like to buy it for our new house! Love it!
-- Aunt Sharon

Oh, Ethan... This is awesome! I have a painting much like this one hanging in my house! I love your take on it. I feel like I am in the forest.
-- Stacey

Ethan this is beautiful!
-- Rosalie

What beautiful symmetry you've achieved, Ethan. And that shiny symbol in the middle represents the only artistic star who could have created such a remarkable piece of art: YOU! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Wow! Beautiful! Looks like a snowflake. Now that is one snowstorm I wouldn't mind!
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, this cool character could be the star of a whole new TV and movie series! We can just see your robot helping people out of dangerous situations and using his powers to do good deeds all over the world! When we come in to visit you, let's talk about some of the unique superpowers we could give him to make him the most powerful superhero ever! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

What an awesome robot! Noa would love this because she has been into robots lately. Only, why is he so mad? Is it because someone replaced his other claw with a duck foot? Now he'll be a great swimmer!
-- Aunt Sharon

Interesting-and kind of intimidating. Good work!
-- Rosalie

Wow. I don't know if you intended this or not, but your picture looks like a cross-section of sedimentary rock layers underneath some mountains. An impressive nod to our earth's complicated history. Love it!
-- Aunt Sharon

Yay! Great start to a new year of artwork! Ethan 3G- The Red Period.
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, this is so creative and fun! Every hand should have a crayon finger so that everybody can draw pictures whenever they want! Great job...as always! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Wow, Ethan, that's one HUGE dragonfly! He could star in his own movie, and you could write the story. Thank goodness he's only a cartoon character and not for real, because he'd be big enough to take over the whole world! Great job, buddy...and we can't wait to see you guys in a couple of weeks. Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Is the sun angry because the dragonfly has sapped all his energy in order to become a super dragonfly? An that guy on the botto is probably sad because he dropped his banana? Awesome pic!
-- Aunt Sharon

This is so cool, Ethan. I wouldn't want to find one of these in my house, though!!! :) Love you! Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

Awesome dragonfly Ethan! Pokeman Character??
-- Uncle B

What an incredibly talented artist you are, Ethan! This piece looks like it was created by someone 10 years older than you are. Someday, when your work is on exhibit at a famous art gallery, we'll be standing there shouting, "That's our grandson who did that!" Great work, buddy. Love, Grandpa Howie and Janet
-- Howie

Ethan, thiS is awesome! Love the colors especially. Keep up the great artwork!
-- Uncle b

Wonderful sculpture, Ethan!
-- Rosalie

Ethan, Wow what a beautiful patchwork quilt. You look so nice and comfy. I love when you do self portraits, you always capture how handsome you are.
-- Janet

Ethan, this boy makes us want to take a nap right now, because he looks so peaceful and happy! Beautiful selection of colors on the blanket's many sections--it's all so vibrant and wonderfully coordinated. Super job! Love Grandpa Howie and Janet
-- Howie

Amazing! But I didn't know you slept with a three-horned ninja doll! Cool!
-- Aunt Sharon

Hi Ethan, Wow I wish I had that for a quilt. Love, Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

What a spectacular vista you've created, Ethan! It feels like I'm standing on another planet and looking out over strange mountains into a multi-colored sky. So original and so creative. Great work! Love, Grandpa Howie
-- Howie

Ethan I love all the colors you used. The sky is so interesting, and your mountains remind me of the ones I can see from my window in Las Vegas. It's so beautiful.
-- Janet

I don't have anything funny to say about this. It is so beautiful. I love it. Seriously.
-- Aunt Sharon

I love your Letter design. The colors are so bright and beautiful. Of course the best letter is the E, and you painted it GREEN. You are so clever, I can't wait for Grandpa to see this. Love, Janet & Grandpa
-- Janet

Wow. I can't believe how many names you fit into this picture! Love the giant E in the middle and the way all the other names flow around it. Very cool, and very beautiful, too!
-- Aunt Sharon

Wonderful use of names in this painting! Love, Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Ethan, this is definitely one of your coolest pieces ever! There's so much to look at, the colors blend beautifully, and the scene is so rich in detail, it makes you feel like you're right in the field with the scarecrow and the flowers. We love it!
-- Howie

Wow, Ethan. After reading the description of the art lesson on horizon lines and foreground/background I don't have anything silly to say. Just this: You are an amazing artist! Incredible!
-- Aunt Sharon

Wonderful scarecrow scene! Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

I love your self portrait, you always put so much detail into it.
-- Janet

Emma says "HAPPY" when she sees your smiling face in this! I think it's a really good self-portrait! And I love the stripes best. Love you! Emma and Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

If this is what happens when you get a bad case of Stripes, then I say go with it! It works for you! Great!
-- Aunt Sharon

This is great Ethan!
-- Rosalie

Ethan-- This is a really interesting portrait. I love the design in the background! Not so much the "B" on the boy's hat, though! Hee hee. Just kidding. Love you!! Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

Wow, Ethan. This amazing portrait has a way of pulling the viewer right into it and making him or her feel like they entered a whole different world! You chose really interesting colors to create that eerie, other-universe atmosphere. What a spectacular way to start off another brilliant art year! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

How appropriate that your portrait is in GREEN! Since the Red Sox color is really red, your picture looks like a negative film of you. Very cool! I am so excited for another year of your artwork!
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, this is such a fun piece of art! Any bug would be proud to live in your beautifully decorated "bug house", and they wouldn't even have to pay any rent! Both Janet and I laughed out loud when we opened the page and saw your latest masterpiece. Keep up the great work! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

I can tell all your bugs are very happy living in your bug jar because they all have such big smiles! Can't wait to see what art you will create in 2nd grade!
-- Aunt Sharon

Wow, Ethan, what an amazing assortment of fun characters you've created! Each one has its own unique personality, and we love the interesting expressions on their faces. You could have your own cartoon show with them--great job! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Amazing! Fantastic job Ethan!!
-- Uncle B

Scary-looking buildings, terrific! Love, Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Are these monsters? Are they buildings? Such creativity! I bet James Rizzi would be really proud of you. I know I am!
-- Sharon

Ethan, you have the most spectacular imagination! The tooth fairy will be very grateful that you drew him so beautifully! Love, Grandpa Howie and Janet
-- Howie

Fantastic job Ethan! I love the detail and the shape of the border is a tooth :) Keep up the great work...
-- Uncle B

Wow, Ethan, I think this may be your most sophisticated artwork to date! It reminds me of several paintings by the famous artist, Marc Chagall. I love the imagery in the background of all the fairies at work through the night at what I assume to be a house symbolic of all the houses of little children who have lost a tooth as evidenced by the earth drawn next to the bed. And your personal tooth fairy is highlighted in the foreground in great detail. Love his tie and super-tooth-power belt! It is fun to see how your imagination works! Amazing! I am truly very impressed!
-- Sharon

Wow, Ethan! I love the colors in this piece. Your tooth fairy is very generous! I like how you showed him flying above your house while you sleep. We love you!! Aunt Stacey, Uncle Bryan, and Emma (and Amber!)
-- Stacey

Ethan, you have created an absolutely fascinating structure. I hope the future gets here really fast, so we can live in one of your beautifully designed buildings! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Awesome job Ethan! You will be quite an architect!!
-- Uncle Bryan

Wow! It looks like the city of the future, some place where we'll all live in 50 years. You are a visionary!
-- Sharon

Ouch! The star popped up off the computer screen and poked me in the eye!
-- Sharon

Ethan, this picture makes us feel like we're in a fantasy-world city, with lots of buildings and people woven into the scene. Your imagination is getting more and more adventurous, and we look forward to seeing your next masterpiece soon! Love, Grandpa Howie & Janet
-- Howie

Ethan, we love your basket. The apples look good enough to eat! Love, Janet & Grandpa
-- Janet

Wow, Ethan. This is awesome! I love this one a lot! The apples look yummy enough to eat! Your joy for art shows in every piece you do. Love you!! Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

Great picture Ethan, I love it. Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

I love your use of cut-outs like Matisse! Your basket is so realistic! Awesome! Amazing!
-- Aunt Sharon

Wow, Ethan! Your painting is so cool. This one should be hanging in a big museum in New Jersey so everyone can see how talented you are! Love, Grandpa Howie and Janet
-- Howie

A hauntingly beautiful kaleidoscope of refracted and embedded reference to the self. This is a masterwork! Love, Daddy
-- Daddy

This is an exciting start to your 1st grade year in art! I look forward to seeing more!
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, as always, your art is wonderful! Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Wow, Ethan! I love this portrait you did of Daddy! I love how you captured his lima bean hair and triangle eyes! It looks just like him! Great job!
-- Aunt Sharon

Ethan, I love seeing your artwork. I can't wait to see what's next. Love Janet
-- Janet

Dear Ethan: Your artwork is so colorful and interesting! You have a very cool style of drawing, and looking at your self portrait makes me feel happy. Keep up the good work, buddy. You're so talented! Love, Grandpa Howie
-- Howie

I love this one, Ethan! You look so tall and proud. Awesome Job! Love, Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

Such an interesting array of color and texture! Keep up the great work, young Ethan...
-- Uncle B.

-- Uncle Bryan

-- Rosalie

I love this, Ethan! Great job! Love, Mommy
-- Laura

Ethan- I love this piece! The colors remind me of the new shower curtain I got for the baby's bathroom. Hee hee. I definitely see the mountains and the sky. It's beautiful! Love you, Aunt Stacey
-- Stacey

Ethan-- this looks like a delicious heaping of green and orange sherbet! It makes me very hungry. I especially like the whipped cream on top. Keep drawing these delicious works of art! Love, Uncle Bryan
-- Bryan

Ethan, this is beautiful, you are a great artist! Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Wow! This is wonderful, Ethan! I love penguins. They are in my top 5 most favorite animals. You're little penguin is adorable. The background is so cool too!
-- Stacey

Ethan, great picture and penguin, I love penguins! Grandma Rosalie
-- Rosalie

Wow! I am so impressed with the details in your artwork, Ethan! I love your use of color and the shapes in all of your pieces. This piece with the hearts is bright and warm. I also love the dog piece-- it's my personal favorite! You are extremely creative, and I think your art is highly sophisticated. Great job! I'm so glad to have seen all of these masterpieces. :) Love, Aunt S.

Wow! I am so amazed by Ethan's detailed art pieces. I love his use of colors and the original shapes he creates. I definitely see a sophistication in his work. (I think he takes after his momma)... The dog is my personal favorite.

Ethan, what a great drawing, must be Valentine's Day soon! Love, Grandma Rosalie

I love this picture, so may geometric shapes and yet you can see it's a dog. Great colors too - Grandma Rosalie

Ethan, This is amazing!!! You are wonderful artist. I love the abstract face- the shapes, colors and design is wonderful! Keep up the good work! Love, Mommy

This is reminiscent of Picasso's Guernica! You are creating wonderful works from the heart. :-)

This is a wonderful piece, Eric Carle-esque yet an Ethan original! :-)

This piece is very exciting! I think your use of color and repetition is very evocative. :-)
