Your cross is beautiful, Ben. I like all the different textures you used. I see macaroni, peas, rice and black beans. Your design is wonderful. It sure looks like it was a lot of hard work, and you certainly did a wonderful job. -- mona

That is really a neat cross. -- john

Love this piece, Ben. The blue square sets off the whole creation. The houses are very interesting and different. You'll have to share with me the story that goes with this picture. -- mona

You did a great job, but you will have to explain the art lesson to Nana for this one. I'm confused about a "valentine" that looks ferocious.. -- mona

Can't wait to meet this guy in person, Ben. He looks like he could get into lots of mischief when you bring him home. I like all the materials you used to make him come to life. -- mona

Beautiful Christmas flowers, Ben. I like how you coordinated the colors and shaped the flower petals. The green background fits right in with the Christmas season. Great work. -- mona

Now that is a really cool holiday house. Looks a wee bit like a hobit's holiday house might look. -- Mona/Nana

WOW Ben! This is the coolest picture ever!!!! Love, love, love the colors. I'm so used to seeing the starry night pictures of the Nativity scene...your rendition really makes me think about the sun setting on the night of Jesus' birth. Very, very nice and so peaceful. We'll see you tomorrow! Love, Mimi and Grand-Dad -- Mimi/Bobbi

Ben, your nativity is absolutely beautiful. The colors of the sky are breathtaking! It looks just like Israel where Jesus was born. Another wonderful piece of artwork. -- Nana

Glad that monster isn't in MY closet! Love all the bright colors. -- Mona/Nana

Spooky skeleton. Great Halloween picture! -- Mona/Nana

It's so nice to see a happy skeleton...is he happy because Hurricane Sandi didn't pick him up and fly him to Antartica ? Or is he happy that Halloween wasn't cancelled after all. Hope you enjoy trick or treat this year ! What are you and Patrick going to be? Love you and see you soon! Love, Mimi -- Mimi

This monster is pretty scarey...he looks like one of the monsters in the book called Where the Wild Things Are. Uncle Chris' first grade teacher read that book in class and he was so frightened, he had nightmares for weeks!!! If this guy is in your closet, I would have Dad call the exterminator!!!! Love you Ben...great job. Mimi -- Mimi/Bobbi

That's one scary monster!! -- Papa

Ben, this picture is so awesome. I love how you shaded the ground and sides of the tree branches and the fence. I like the squirrel hole in the tree also. Your art teacher is teaching you some great skills. -- Mona/Nana

That is a great Snoopy and Woodstock, but you will have to tell me what they are saying and doing. I like your cartoon signature, too. -- Mona/Nana

Ben You sure are a good artist. Papa -- john

Oh YUM! I can see the watermelon juice running down your arms...a perfectly delicious reminder of summer picnics and parties!!! Love you Ben! Nice job! -- Mimi/Bobbi

Love the title of your creation. It's perfect. Such attention to detail in your picture. Really like the hair and blue eyes. Good job. -- Mona/Nana

That's one cool bird! -- Papa

Hi Ben This is too cute. Their nest looks like an Easter Basket! I bet they can see it from a mile away when they're out and about and looking for worms! Love, Mimi -- Mimi/Bobbi

Ben, what a wonderful depiction of Jesus' body and blood. You did an outstanding job of capturing the beauty of this gift. I love it! -- Nana/Mona

I think I recognize these faces! I've seen them in my garden bed munching on the petunias. One of them almost looks like a praying mantis which is actually good for your garden. I really like the vivid colors and all the detail. Very imaginative- love them! See you soon !!!~ Love, Mimi -- Mimi

Ben I'm so proud of what a good artist you are. I like all your pictures. Love Papa -- Papa

Now those are some great looking bugs! I would even consider letting those insects into my house because they are so beautiful.....they do look a wee bit ferocious though! Great job Rembrandt! -- nana/mona

Here fishy,fishy,fishy! He's so cute and adorable...looks just like a fish pin that I have for one of my outfits. Love the colors and his cute little face. Another one of my favorite pictures! Great work! Love, Mimi and Grand-Dad -- Bobbi/Mimi

Ben, Your fish looks very excited like Patrick or is he just hungry? Is he ready to eat a happy meal? Just kidding, your rainbow fish looks very tropical and reminds me of our trip to the acquarium in Baltimore last summer. Love Grandad -- Grandad

Nice colors Ben. I like the shape and design of the fish, too. Great job. -- nana/mona

I love how you made Jesus' arms so big.....big enough to hold and love the entire world. Great job sweetie! -- Mona (Nana)

Love this one, Ben. Even on those cold hands, there are stars burning bright. You have to tell me about the red tip on the middle finger of both hands. Great job! -- Nana/Mona

Hi Ben! Did you know that the cardinal is the state bird of Virginia? It's the one bird whose call I remember. Do you have cardinals in the winter there? The red color just POPS in this picture and the little birds are so cute! Good work...and HAPPY VALENTINES DAY !!! Love from MIMI and Grand-Dad -- Mimi/Bobbi

How beautiful, Ben! Looks just like the flocks of cardinals that come to our backyard tree. What a great masterpiece. -- Nana/Mona

Ben, Looks like you are ready to go snowboarding. Excellent winter picture. I sure wish Mimi and Grandad had a snow day at our house. We haven't had hardly any snow this winter. The last time we saw snow was at your house. -- Chuck

This looks really interesting Ben. There is so much detail in the picture. I hope you'll tell me all about it soon. Great job. -- Mona (Nana)

Ben This is a lovely picture that tells the real Christmas story...we all need to keep this image in our hearts all year round..and celebrate Christmas everyday..Love you, Mimi and Grand-Dad -- Mimi/Bobbi

What a beautiful nativity, Ben. I love the rubber bands for the straw bottom of the stable....and the kings in the background. Did you know when you made Jesus' blanket that the different tribes of Israel had some of their own distinctive weavings just like the kilts of the Scottish? Once again, you did a marvelous job. Love that creative spark in you! -- Nana/Mona

Well this turkey looks like he's on the RUN !!! I wonder why ? Maybe he's afraid someone might gobble him up !!! Real cute picture...love the wiggly legs! Have a great Thanksgiving! Love, Mimi and Grand-dad -- Mimi/Bobbi

Hi Ben! This picture reminds me of the song "This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine...let it shine... all the time...let it shine!" This is so pretty, so peaceful... it just makes me feel so relaxed and happy inside! Thank you for sharing this beautiful picture with Grand-dad and me! Love you and miss you LOTS! How many more days 'til Christmas? -- Bobbi/Mimi

I love your newest Advent picture, Ben. I see how you have the 3 purple candles burning at different lengths because they have been lighted at different times...very smart of you. The flames and aura of light with each candle makes them look so real. You are a very creative and talented artist! -- Nana/Mona

What a creative way to portray your pumpkins.......by the moonlight. Love how you're thinking outside the box when you do art work. It's a wonderful creation. Makes me want to be right there with those pumpkins! -- Mona (Nana)

Ooooooooooo...This PUMPKIN is really SOMETHIN'....SOMETHIN' pretty scary...I wouldn't want to find him in MY PUMPKIN PATCH..... nice piece of art Ben! Congratulations! I'm still in Texas, in the desert, where you only find prickly, stickily cactus...and no big orange pumpkins! I love you and miss you! Momi -- Bobbi

Ben, I love your new creation. The colors are wonderful and the design is so imaginative. I'd love to have you tell me all about the details. Keep up the good work! -- Mona
