Groovy :)

Jaira! What I love about this picture is exaggerated scale of the pumpkin next to the river. It makes it playfully out of proportion, and therefore, interesting. I also liked the moonshine on the top of the pumpkin, since that makes it look like what it is - a night time picture. However, now that I think about it, there are some pretty huge pumpkins out there that win prizes every year! This one definitely should be included!
-- Gilda

Jaira! This is one happy sun! I love all those things that are bursting out of it because of all the shapes and colors you included. This one made me smile immediately and kept me smiling as I wrote this!
-- Gilda

whoa jaira awesome...you are quite an artist
-- robin

Jaira! This is BOLD. Once again, the shapes and colors just draw the viewer in. Loved this dancer!
-- Gilda

Looks so yummy but to good to cut into. I enjoy all your work. Your talent is growing.
-- Andrea

Hummm...that looks like something from Sponge Bob. Perhaps another satisfied customer at the Krusty Krab? The hair does it all -- almost like Dr. Seuss hair!
-- Papa

ewwww...is THAT what swallowed Jonah??? : ) Good job again, Jaira!
-- Donna

Jaira! I know this animal is alive somewhere in the deep blue ocean. Gulp! Love the imagination and humor in this piece.
-- Gilda

HI JAIRA! I loved your straw craft! I never did learn how to do that...is it hard? And..I loved your color combo, it reminds me of my favorite ice cream: Neopolitan! (esp. with Hershey's syrup!). Keep up the good work! Love, Donna
-- Donna

A flower?!? But you told me you drew a diagram of a fully sustainable combination chlorophyll energy / biometric fragrance factory. Oh...
-- Papa

I'd swear that this flower is dancing with the sun. Very cool stuff here girl.
-- Papa

Jaira your drawings are beautiful!!
-- sara

Okay - that's easily some of the coolest grass I've ever seen you draw. Light toward the bottom with highlights but fading to dark at the top. How do you do that?!? -- Papa
-- Todd

In this picture, I see depicted the great struggle between good and evil. There, in the sky, is the moon called "the faithful witness" in the Bible. I love the concentric rings around it - just beautiful and good! Now, to the right are the bat flying out and that's just fine. But -- what are those dots flying out from behind them? That's not what I think it is is it? To quote Bat Thumb "If you insist on calling him that, then you should just call him guano." -- Papa
-- Todd

You got to make these out of tin??? What a different and fun project! Your art teacher rocks! Good job on your color choice Jaira, I love all 'cool' colors....no 'yellow' for me! XOXO DONNA
-- Donna

This makes me feel like I am on an exotic island and this is part of the decor in my little hut. I really like this.
-- Andrea

This is such a neat picture. I can see so many things besides the bridge and the bats in this picture. I have not seen the bats at this bridge but have seen them at the bat cave outside of Mason. They are fascinating to watch. Keep up the great work.
-- Andrea

Jaira! I love that you resisted the temptation to draw a straight stem on this flower! Definitely a green flower with personality. Looks and feels more like the way real life goes...
-- Gilda

Jaira. What a great painting. All my favorite colors. I would say add more purple for your next masterpiece because then I have a set for my art room as inspiration .
-- Robin

Jaira! This picture is wild! I had to look at it a long time before I finally SAW the bridge. At first I seemed to see something like three keyholes...just kept me so intrigued...then I realized the concept! Fantastic. I remember those bats from when I lived in Austin...people joked that Austin was actually the original Gotham City. If you don't know what that means, ask your Mom! Just loved everything about this picture...the mysteriousness of it suits the subject.
-- Gilda

Very good work Jaira!
-- Uncle Doug

Hey...nice work! Since I've moved to Austin, going to see the bats has become one of my favorite things to do and you have depicted them SO accurately. I love that you chose that shade of blue because it represents the time of 'twilight' when they fly! Keep up the good work! Love, Donna
-- Donna

Jaira! I love how you captured falling snow against that lilac background. That was not easy to do, and it gives the picture contrast between the falling snow (movement) and the beautiful red birds perched on the branch (stillness.) Lovely winter scene.
-- Gilda

Charming! Beautiful! Very heartwarming in spite of the falling snow, and ridge of snow on the limb. I like the one valiant leaf remaining on the branch, but the cardinals are sure the stars of the show!
-- Sarah

Glorious sunrise, flaming sunset, reflecting on distant mountains perhaps? Curving topograpghy of cool earth in the foreground...well, that's my "view"! Super intensity comes through, and full of personality...love it.
-- Sarah

It's got that "pop!" you do so well. Texturally pleasing too...Very interesting to look at; keep it up!
-- Sarah

i like the shades of yellow through vibrant orange on the pumpkin in contrast to the cool blues, greens, and pink surrounding it. good "marketing" skills!
-- Sarah

OK that's some energy going on there with that hair, but it's the smile that gets ya....
-- Sarah

Taffy ribbons! Very pretty effect.
-- Sarah

OK, this is just too adorable! I am getting caught back up on your artwork, right now it is cold outside and I sure want to be on this fun beach! Happy hand(claw)-holding crabs? Oh yeah. Sand dollar that is sand colored and just see the design? Yes indeed. Shells, turtle...but my favorite is the waves and how you left white to show the crests and surf and the beautiful colors blended for the ocean! Lovely work.
-- Sarah

I just LOVE your little red cardinals!! They remind me of the cutest pictures I took of one taking a 'cautious' bath in my little fountain that I will have to email your Mom so you can see. How sweet that you made these a pair....ha! maybe they are 'Love birds'! : - ) Good job Jaira! XOXO Donna
-- Donna

Can you say "Nebraska"? Uh-huh! This is straight from the cold land up north isn't it? We can rest assured that Gilda won't be saying how it reminds her of Nicaragua.
-- Papa

Reminds me of the colors and varieties that will be in the coming Paradise. Walk along the center path and as you over the hill there you will be in the new world. Keep up the good work.
-- Andrea

I am so impressed with this piece of art, Jaira. With all the vibrant colors it looks like a stained glass window. I can just imagine it hanging up with the morning sun shining through and the bright colors reflecting all over the room. Keep on bringing beauty to our eyes. Can't wait to see more. Connie (from Seguin)
-- Connie

Ahhhh...I'm reminded of a favorite song of mine called "Over The Hills and Far Away". It also makes me think of mountains of Alaska with the Aurora Borealis behind them. Very beautiful scenery! -- Papa
-- Papa

Jaira! I just love the way those colors are so uncompromising next to each other! And that purple patch on the left...a field of lilacs, perhaps? Something about this picture makes me think of the volcanoes in Nicaragua...if you saw a picture of Momotombo you would see it is shaped just like that. Good work!
-- Gilda

Totally awesome! The shapes, contrasting lines & colors makes it so unique. Really like this one.
-- Mom

I wonder how you dreamed up this landscape? I love the perspective...and those mountain peaks! Nice job Jaira!
-- Donna

The ocean in this is beautiful! I love the contrast of how fun the beach is.
-- Jess

Love it! Looks like candy:)
-- Jess

As usual Jaira, your choice of colors 'rock'!!!
-- Donna

BOING! Jaira! If this is not a self portrait it is definitely one of me when I was about your age! Know just how it is to have long, curly hair. Love this. Made me chuckle.
-- Gilda

Looks like my hair sometimes, but my hair is a little shorter. Good job.
-- Andrea

Is that you as a self-portrait? How many times must I tell you not to play with electricity! Your imagination continues to run amok. -- Papa
-- Todd

Now that's a masterful job! You seem to have placed the darker colored ribbons to the back and the brighter ones to the front. That adds to the 3D effect as it seems to leap out at me. Thank you! -- Papa
-- Todd

Jaira! I just viewed your pieces one by one and I feel that they all share that hard-to-define quality that keeps the viewer looking and looking at the piece. There is something about your use of colors next to each other, something about the proportion in them, something in your wonderful imagination at work that makes a person STOP and really take a good look. Needless to say, I love your artwork! You can just tell that your hands, eyes, and heart are all working together. I love this latest piece..the curves next to the angles, the three-dimensions of it. Looks like a you captured a rainbow and threw it back out in your original, abstract way. Good work! Gilda
-- Gilda

Wow, Jaira! That's beautiful! I love the colors you chose. : - ) Love, Donna
-- Donna

Jaira I really like this. It reminds me of the whirly toys we used to play with as kids.All the colors make it like a rainbow. Great job. Love ya, Your friend Andrea
-- Andrea

What cool art!! Julie,Lexi and Chloe!!
-- Julie

Wow Jaira! This is really cool!! I love it, you are becoming such a fantastic little Artist! Keep up the good work.
-- Tanya

Hi Jaira! I don't know....maybe it's because it's summer or maybe it's because it's the beach, but this is my FAVORITE piece of work you've done!! I love the sea shells and you really got the little crabs 'just right' but I see you worked hard to get that sand dollar in there. "Well done!" If you get to keep the original I think your Mom should frame this one for sure! Love, Donna
-- Donna

Incredible. I love the little crabs and their big eyes, The colors are so very cool. You rocked this one. I feel I am at the beach with you.
-- Aunt Suzanne

Oooo...are those hamburgers with eyes? No wait - they're crabs. I love crab! Turtle soup? Clam chowder? Everything here reminds me of FOOD! I just love it! You've certainly done a fantastic job on your artwork this year little sweetie. - Papa
-- Todd

Maybe I'm just hungry but I'm thinking that's actually a yummy plate of spaghetti just waitin' for me to have it for supper. Great job! - Papa
-- Todd

Ah...hummm...I donno but they kinda look like eyeballs to me and it's kinda creepin me out man! They just seem to follow me. - Papa
-- Todd

I think that owl flew into the tree and knocked his head a little too hard because he looks a little dizzy. - Papa
-- Todd

I think this is a picture of the big tree of righteousness at Isaiah 61:3! - Papa
-- Todd

It's Squidward! - Papa
-- Todd

This is great! Is that you? You've given yourself the cutest little Elvis smile I've ever seen! - Papa
-- Todd

Outstanding display of your skill and expression! Too bad there wasn't quite enough room for you to get "You Papa!" underneath the "Love". - Papa
-- Todd

Hi Jaira! Wow! Your radial weaving just 'pops' out at you! Isn't weaving fun? Maybe during summer time you can get some kind of weaving kit at Michael's and make something else. When I was young I had a small square 'loom' that I made pot holders on...I think those kits are still available. : - ) Love, Donna XOXO
-- Donna

Now it's clear why they say arts AND crafts. Cool craft/cool art, neat to have yarn woven into picture.
-- Sarah

I know it's circles but it looks like candy...delicious yummy candy.
-- Sarah

So cute it makes me smile!
-- Sarah

Pretty!
-- Sarah

Funky-Fun Fabulous Fish!
-- Sarah

Hi Jaira! LOVE your pattern! It must have been a challenge to come up with so many different circles, but you did it well! XOXO Donna
-- Donna

Jaira, This is great. All of your work is very good. I enjoy seeing you do so well. I really like this one I think it is my favorite. It makes me think of the bid tree in the Bible that was so big and tall and spread out so far all the birds and animals could find shelter there. This looks like it reaches way up to the stars. Keep up the good work.
-- Andrea

Jaira, I love all of your artwork. This one is great, it looks just like your mom!! Hugs and kisses, Aunt Rachel
-- Rachel

Jaira this lady maybe blue, but she's happy and cheerful and makes me smile too. Good work! Aunt Sarah
-- Sarah

Everything looks right about this picture. The size of the hearts, the symmetry of them in contrast to the asymmetry within them. But of course, it's the glowing colors that make me really love it. You managed to combine them so that while bright they don't jar the eye. It's really lovely, Jaira! Aunt Sarah
-- Sarah

Hi Jaira! Hey...how did you know what I looked like when I was 16?!! Good job! Love, Donna
-- Donna

The heart at the lower right makes me feel sadness because it looks like a broken heart. The one on the lower left makes me think of someone who is hurt or bleeding. The one at the upper right reminds me of someone whose heart is divided. But the one at the upper left looks like a heart filled to overflowing with love. That's the one I pick for how my heart feels for you! Love - Papa
-- Todd

Hi Jaira Very colorful, and happy looking picture. The heart of a person has many facits and you show that here. Keep up the good work. Love Ya.
-- Andrea

Beautiful work Jaira! I looks like a stained glass window. : - )
-- Donna

Very nice Jaira, you're becoming quite the artist!! :)
-- Tanya

Awesome Jaira! I love how you seperated the hearts with differant colors and lines. Keep up the nice work. Love you much-aunt Celeste ;)
-- Celeste

I think I could lose myself in this picture. I look at it this way and I see this then I look at it that way and I see that. It even changes depending upon how close I am to it. In the words of Mr. Spock on Star Trek -- Fascinating! - Papa

You know, I can easily imagine this as being some ancient 2000 year old artifact found by a famous archeologist. It looks like authentic Ming Dynasty pottery work. Whoever photographed it made it look like a museum piece. Great job! - Papa

Wow Jaira! This has such an amazing sense of depth to it. It's just as if that background is miles deep and the ship and planets are out in front. I also like how the pictures seems darker to the lower right. That makes it seem even more "space like". You did a great job sweetie! - Papa

lovely blue and cool texture....I like it!

Hi Jaira! I just saw your 'clay bell'...I loved the color! And, the shape of it makes it look almost as if it were ringing itself! Good work! Love, Donna

awesome clay bell jaira. you are too cool for school. love, jjr

YOUR ARTWORK IS VERY GOOD. I REALLY LOVE THE PUMPKINS. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. SEE YOU SOON ! LOVE, JULIE, LEXI, CHLOE

This is a beautiful picture. It gives a sense of openness and is like a cool breath of fresh air. I think I have to change my mind and say this is my favorite and the rocket ship 2nd. They are all so good. Keep up the good work.

I like this, It reminds me of JEHOVAH's creation. That rocket takes us right up into the middle of it for a closer look. Great work.

Hi Jaira I think this is my favorite. I like the way you have it very simle but colorful. I really do like the rocketship tho. It may be a toss up.

hola, this is such a cool pictue. i love the contrast of the subtle sky and bright geometric rocket. Very good work! Wouldnt it be cool if we could see that many planets from earth?! PS the pumpkins are LOVELY:) xoxo jess.

Hi Jaira! LOVE your rocket collage! Did you know? I am starting a new painting of outer space! So we are 'twin artists' this week! : - ) Love, Donna

Great Fall pumpkins, Jaira. They are just beautiful!!!

Jaira! What a great picture. The colors and composition are wonderful. You are so talented, and I am so proud of you. Love you lots and lots. Aunt Rachel

Even though I love modern and abstract art, I think this painting you did of the pumpkins is my favorite so far! I love the pumpkins with their light and shadow, and I especially love how you did the sky and grass. You are showing real talent!

What an interesting and intricate use of pattern and color. Good mix of the abstract and realistic styles.

Hey Jaira! Wow! Another work of art! I really like the way you have these pumpkins next to each other and how the one in the back really looks like it is 'in the back'! Good job. Love, Donna

Jaira, This is beautiful!!!! Sara

This is so Cool!!! I love how you shaded the bottom of the pumpkins to give a 3D look to it. The depth and coloring are just fabulous. My favorite part, though, is the sky. Those white zig zags are the bomb! They remind me of the crazy Nebraska snow that starts this time of the year. Love it! -- Papa

Hi Jaira! I just saw your latest artwork and I LOVED it! You have a great sense of humor and it shows! You know, I have a studio and do a little painting myself. Come over someday and have a look. Maybe during Winter break you can visit and paint something with me. Love, Donna

I love your design. The colors are awesome. Aunt Suzanne

Wow! That is amazing! I absolutely LOVE the colors you chose, all my favorites!!!! Smooches, kiddo! Monique

What a great picture. I like everything about it. It has so much energy and a happy feeling just like a playground should, only more interesting because of the colors and how you put together the shapes and figures and spaces. I really like it, I think it is very very good!

Wow -- Love it! Your picture made me smile! Its very inspirational. Keep em comin! Love ya--Aunt Celeste

WOW.. you did a great job.. im so proud of you... keep it up :)

Dearest Jaira This is such a beautiful picture. I cant wait to see more. Take care Love you Sara

YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! VERY COOL. SEE YA SOON.

Jaira, I wanted to tell you how proud I am of your beautiful artwork and how much I look forward to more. This picture makes me feel so happy!!! I can feel the warmth of the sunshine and the coolness of the shade. I am amazed at your use of colors and your talent for blending them. I can also see the joy you have in your heart in this piece. Can't wait for more!!!

Cool painting! Cool playground! Klee was always one of my favorite artists, now I get to add the name "Jaira" to my list of favorite artists. I'm very proud of you and look forward to seeing more of your wonderful artwork.

Jaira, 'WOW'! I LOVE this idea of displaying your artwork online! I am going to check back frequently to see what other 'master pieces' you've created. : - ) As for this work of art, I think you used the space very well. The colors really compliment each other and I was very impressed at how you used such 'free forms'...nothing that looked all 'square' and 'tight'. Good job!

WOW! I really like your beautiful artwork! You have used my favorite colors and it makes me happy to see your work. Keep up the great work!

Jaira, This is so cool. I love the colors you used. I love your style sweetie.

Jaira - Sweet artwork! My favorite parts are how you got the smooth blending of background colors in there and the character in the right center that looks like a person throwing their arms up. I imagine that's me looking at the playground and shouting out "Me first!!!" :-)

Jaira all I can say is "WOW!!!" -what a colorful and vibrant picture. Truly gorgeous.
