What a great turtle! I love the pointism technique you used to create this peice. Very well done, my son.
-- Mom

Another great work to be proud of! :-)

This is BLUE RIBBON ART. Every aspect of it is perfect. The knight and dragon in the foreground are flawless and convey action and purpose. The contour of the castle is delightful and expresses strength. The balance of color is soothing and fills the viewer’s heart with happiness. The fluff of the clouds is fun. Absolutely BLUE RIBBON.
-- Mary

I LOVE this picture! The whole picture tells a great story of knights rescuing princesses and fighting dragons. The dragon is very realistic.
-- Liz

Yum! Is it a vanilla snowman melting or a delicious marshmallow man ready to jump into my mouth?
-- Liz

I really like this picture. The colors are great and they are arranged in a whimsical way that makes me smile.
-- Liz

The blue background reminds me of a wonderful fall day and the bright leaves are some of my favorite fall colors.
-- Liz

This paper-bag owl is a perfect decoration for fall. It makes me smile, even though it looks a little scary. And you've got your hand prints all over it, too. I think you must have had fun doing it.
-- Mary

FUN FUN FUN. This leaf creature is great--I love it. The way you blended and diffused the colors of the leaves shows skill in the handling of the medium. I notice that much of your art has a blue background. When you become a famous artist, these early years may become known as your "Blue" period.
-- Mary

Brandon, your arrangement of fall flowers is beautiful. The fence and owl in the background adds interest and balence to the picture. I love you. Grandma Mary
-- Mary

This leaf creature made me laugh! :-) You did a beautiful job with the leaf colors. I love all of the artwork you create!
-- MOM

This is a great representation of fall! My favorite part of this picture is the owl sitting on the fence. You are so creative! Great job, Brandon!
-- Mom

WOW !! This action figure snowman, with feet scrambling so fast they're all over the place, is great. His hands are moving so fast, there appears to be four, and each one holding a sword or a lightsaber. WOW !! All through it he's laughing and might be saying, "Ha-ha, ho-ho. Take that, you dirty scoundrel." (Snowmen don't like dirt) The snow flakes behind him are a perfect counter balance to the picture. Good show, Brandon.
-- Mary

This is my favorite cupcake!! I love how I can open it up, and keep little treasures inside! Great job, Brandon!! xxooxx
-- Mom

You did such a great job creating a beautiful aquatic environment! The scaled fish is so neat, and full of texture! I can't wait to see more of your wonderful artwork this year!!
-- Mom

What a delightful assemblage of bold colors. Pleasing to look at.
-- Mary

This pastoral scene with it's vibrant colors is both peaceful and exciting. The googlely eyed sheep stand out in sharp contrast to the background. This is worthy of framing and hanging. I give this work of art an A+.
-- Mary

What a great looking guy. I love that smile. It's as big and bright as the sun.
-- Mary

I really like this little snowman! It makes me happy when I look at it. Have you make other 3-D artwork? Love you! --Great Aunt Katie
-- Katie

I love all of your artwork! This dinosaur is one of my favorites! Love,
-- Mommy

I really like your artwork Brandon! Thank you so much for sharing this dinosaur with me. Uncle Chris likes it too. I plan to put it up in my office. Keep up the good work! --love, Great Aunt Katie
-- Katie

The colors are so bright. It makes me want to find this place and see the beautiful blue sky.
-- Liz

I always love to see your new artwork! Great job!!
-- Mommy

This is a very awesome dinosaur! I sure don't want to see him running after me in the dark! The colors you used and the way you drew this picture show how much talent you have. Keep learning more about art and someday you might be able to sell some artwork in a gallery - like your great Uncle Chris.
-- Liz

WOW! These colors are terrific. the lighter chaulk on black paper creates a wonderful depth. The rich green earth and electric blue sky are emotional. I used to like purple dinosaurs, but now, I'll trade them for light blue with orange dorsal fins--a nice contrast.
-- Mary

I wish to apologize for being so late in commenting on the elephant picture. I was out for lunch (a long lunch) when it was published. The soft contrast of colors and the handling of the medium is suburb. A pleasing balance of space is created with the foreground taking up one-third of the canvas, while the tree difines the right half (flora) from the left half (fauna). This is an excellent rendition of the diversity of life on our planet.
-- Mary

This is such a cool picture you made. I love the elephant and how the colors in this artwork just "POP"!
-- Liz

Wow, this is beautiful! I love you, and your art!
-- Mommy

This is a great first clay creation! He's melting a little, but that's what snowmen do! :-)
-- Mommy

Brandon, what a sweet way to express your love. Your heart appears to float amid a cloud, much like a nebula in the universe.
-- Mary

Brandon’s handling of the mixed mediums is intriguing and well executed. The contrast of primary colors brings excitement and warmth to the rendition of mittens and snowflakes--and you need all the warmth you can get in Iowa winters. I give this four smilies :) :) :) :)
-- Mary

This looks like it was fun to create! Now I'm hungry for candy canes!! :-)
-- Love, Mommy

Brandon’s entry into the world of sculpture is a hit. It looks yummy, too.
-- Mary

I love the choice of the vibrant colors! Brandon is SO talented. His colors and style show his attention to detail and budding talent. He is my favorite artist from Bettendorf!
-- Liz

Brandon's wax resist technique with watercolor wash is fun to observe. The bright colors are well balanced and pleasing to the eye. Another success for Brandonbrandonbr.
-- Mary

Brandon's rendition of the tall buildings of Bettendorf is pleasing to view. The rise of the street depicts the escarpment slope perfectly. Iowa can be proud of this budding artist who renders the fertile green and rich blue of an evening Iowan sky with accuracy.
-- Mary

Your artwork is amazing! I really love the sky's colors in this painting!
-- Mommy

The choice of colorful fabric for the border is both pleasing to the eye and frames the building nicely. it appears that a man is doing a fly-by without either a plane or a cape and makes one ask, "Who is that man?"
-- Mary

Wow- great artwork, Brandon!
-- Mommy

Brandon shows mastery in the handling of the wax medium (crayons). The technique he uses in the blue background creates depth and contrasts nicely with the solid orange of the subject which makes the cat's head seem to float above the paper. The rendering and dimensions of the facial features evoke trust and happiness. Overall, Brandon shows the skill of a successful cartoonist, a carreer he can indulge in when he is not busy patroling the streets of the mighty megalopolis of Bettendorf.
-- Mary

Wow! I love the colors you used to make this picture of an orange cat. You also used your mom's and your favorite colors. Great job!
