Ashley!!! Wow! What a festive Christmas tree! The buttons make it old-fashioned looking. I like the strokes of glitter that you added to make it sparkle. It would make a perfect Christmas card for you to send out to friends and family. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Enjoy your Christmas break from school.---Love, Aunt Pearl :-)

Ashley, Your first work of the new school year! Bubble Letters, huh? I like the colors that you chose. As I get older, my printing is better than my cursive. Do they still teach cursive at your school? I don't think they do at St. Patrick in Bryan, but they DO at Holy Cross in Defiance. I know this because Paola attended both schools last year. Enjoy your art! Keep on creating beautiful things to fill the world! Love, Aunt Pearl :-)

Ashley, I love your self portrait quilt. I especially like the colorful, cat material that you chose. Of course all the things you picked to use, add texture and vibrancy to your work. I looked up Aminah Robinson and read about her & her career. It would be interesting to visit the Columbus Art Museum and see her creations in person. Art is expressing what is inside you. Keep at it! You're doing well! Love, Aunt Pearl

Everytime I see your art work it amazes me how creative you are. Keep up the great work. Grandma

Ashley, I love your color selection for this beautiful design. Blue and green are 2 of my favorite colors. The rainbow effect in the center is cool. I bet that drawing took lots of time and attention to detail. It paid off, with another unique creation. Your art brings joy to those who see it. Love, Aunt Pearl

Ashley, I like your Nutcracker watercolor. He looks like a brave soldier. If you ever get the chance to attend the Nutcracker Ballet, you should. It is magical. I've seen it in Ft. Wayne and Columbus. The theater in Columbus is worth the journey. The architecture in it is amazing. It is truly art, too. I know that they do the Nutcracker in Toledo also. Maybe you could go next year at holiday time. I know you would really enjoy it. Keep at your art. It is a God given gift--a blessing. Love, Aunt Pearl

Great job on your drawing of a nutcracker. It looks like the real thing. Proud of your drawings. Keep up the great work.
-- Kalene

You are amazing. You must have a lot of patience. It is creative.
-- Kalene

I love your fish. Very colorful.
-- Kalene

Your leaf is beautiful. Great Grandma would love it if she was still with us. She was a great artist. You may be following her footsteps. She would be proud of your art work. Keep on drawing your great ideas of art work.

Ashley, I think this drawing would make a perfect Christmas card. It is a cool landscape! I love the colors that you selected. You have a great eye for that. I enjoy seeing your art. Thanks for sharing it with the world. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Love, Aunt Pearl

Ashley, I had never heard of a Quetzal bird before seeing your latest artwork. Being curious, I looked it up and found that it lives from southern Mexico to Panama, through out Central America. Although I have visited El Salvador 13 times, I never saw one of these flying around. I suppose it is because they prefer higher altitudes. It certainly would be a gift to be able to see one in person. As usual, your painting is wonderful. You truly have a talent. Enjoy your time off for the summer. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, I like the texture of your painting of the "hot sun". The bold colors that you picked are vibrant. May your summer vacation be filled with sun-shiny days. Have fun! Time will pass quickly! Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, Your drawing looks like it could be found on the wall of some ancient building in Egypt. It is great when art also teaches you about history. Keep on having fun and learning. Love, Aunt Pearl
-- Pearl

Ashley, I like your house, especially the aqua color that you chose. I wish that I were brave enough to paint my front door orange. I think that it's a bit too bold for me. I don't understand the cubism of Klee, but I guess it is sort of like pixels that make up digital photos. Keep excelling in your art creations. They bring beauty and joy into the world. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)

Ashley, Your skeleton is spooky. In Mexico they celebrate differently than we do here. We have Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day. They have the same 3 days, but all are called The Days of the Dead. I think that I like our customs better than. Either way, in each country, we remember those who came before us and died. Hope you had fun with this project. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl A.

The tree looks real. I like the branches. It is creative. Keep up the work.
-- Kalene

You really have imagination. It is really cool.
-- Kalene

Dear Ashley, What a precious little bird! The colors make me think of Easter. I like the flowers and butterflies that you added on the border. It is amazing that you used scraps to fashion her. I have always liked birds, since I studied them in 5th grade in Mrs. Strong's class. Our birdfeeders are usually full, and now we have 2 chickens that Sofia's class hatched last May in her 3rd grade class. They are getting big. The rooster crows and struts around. His hen should be laying eggs very soon. You should stop and see them sometime. Happy creating! I enjoy your efforts. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)

Ashley, As usual, I learned something from your art work. Paul Klee was an artist who died in 1940. He was of German and Swiss descent, his mother being Swiss. Your Great-Great-Great Grandpa Andres came to the United States from Switzerland when he was a boy. He fought for the North in the American Civil War. One of his 9 living children was my Grandma Phebe Ann (Andres) Rath. She lived into her 90's dying in 1969. Ask your Grandpa what he remembers about her. Now to your colorful painting: WOW! It looks like it was fun to design the letter layout, to choose the colors, and place them all---just so! You certainly do "love to draw"! What games do you like to play? Sofia loves to play UNO. I look forward to seeing your new art projects and making comments. I always learn from them. Keep creating and having fun with it. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)

I love your bird. I may just have to get me a t-shirt. Keep up the great art work.
-- Kalene

Ashley, I love the fabric leaves clinging to the branches. They look like they are blowing in a cold autumn wind. The little owls are huddled together trying to keep warm. The dark sky says to me that a storm is coming. Your artwork speaks to people, telling a story. Well, done!! Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, Were you mixing water colors on this project? That is a very hard technique, that comes with years of practice. I think it is a very difficult medium to use. But then, I am not an artist. You are! I like the colors that you mixed. Keep having fun! Love, Aunt Pearl

Ashley, 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1-Blast Off! I can almost hear the roar of the engines. We have visited Cape Canaveral, however have never seen a launch in person. Your picture conveys the power and the heat of the engines, as they begin to lift the space craft into the air. Beautiful work! Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, Wow!! You have been busy in Art class this year! I love this little bird. I bet if she were real, that she would be singing a beautiful song. Using wire for her feet and tail to attach to her ceramic body was a cool concept. She is so sweet, I wish she could "Tweet"! Thanks for brightening my day! Love, Aunt Pearl
-- Pearl

This heart is very colorful. This shows love. lol Grandma
-- Kalene

You know grandma loves birds. This is very creative and I love it. Keep up the great artwork. lol grandma
-- Kalene

Ashley, I love your bakery heart. The colors are bright and beautiful. The purple glitter makes it sparkle! Did you bake it in an oven or a kiln?? Your great grandma used to do ceramics. She had her own kiln in which to "bake" her creations. Maybe some of your artistic ability comes from her?!!! Keep creating beautiful things. Love, Aunt Pearl
-- Pearl

Ashley, I love your egg. I went on-line to find out that "pysanky" is a Ukrainian way of decorating Easter eggs. The examples there were amazingly detailed. There are so many different colors, details and designs. Did you know that a translation of the word means "to write"? Look at all the different things you learn from art class! That will make you a well rounded person. Keep having fun with art and keep creating beautiful things to share with the world. Aunt Pearl :-)

Your owl is awsome. I love it. Very colorful.
-- Kalene

What a cute little owl! He looks funny, but wise. The stars add a nice touch. Sometimes, late in the summer, I can hear owls calling to each other in the night when our bedroom window is open. They are cool creatures. Hope that you had a good time putting him together. Making things with your hands gives you a great feeling of accomplishment. Keep creating! Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Wow! What vivid colors! It is fun to find the letters of your name "rolling" and "coasting" in your picture. Keep having fun, and being creative. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

You made a great roller coaster. Will you ride it? Very colorful.
-- Kalene

Ashley, I like your picture. The colors are bright and vivid. You are quite the artist. Do you realize how great it is to have your art on the internet? In the past, kid's art went up in the school hallway, or on the refrigerator at home. Think of how many people are pleased to get to see your art? Continue to create. Your art is wonderful! Love, Aunt Pearl
-- Pearl

Ashley, I really like your "pop art" heart. I looked up Jim Dine on the internet. He was born and educated in Ohio, but I did not know of him. Commenting on your art is always a learning experiance. It looks like part of your heart is fabric. The colors and patterns that you chose make your creation "pop", like popular art should! Keep doing art over the summer, when you can. Have other fun, too. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, Wow! What a neat owl! It looks like you got to fire it in a kiln. Isn't it amazing how the paint colors change because of all the heat? I have heard owls here in the night call to each other. It is sort of a "sad" sound...like they are lost and lonely. Keep creating you art! It is wonderful to behold! Love, Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, WOW! That is the prettiest and most colorful polar bear that I have ever seen! I really like the eyes that you used. The snowflakes look cool, too. Have you ever seen the polar bear exhibit at the Toledo Zoo? There are windows under the water level so you can see them swim. The cubs are growing up fast. There is also a real polar bear that is stuffed. You can stand next to it and take your picture. It is huge and very, very tall. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, Your polar bear looks scared. He must be up north since we do not have snow. He would melt here. Grandma
-- Kalene

Ashley, What a beautiful watercolor of the desert! Your painting looks like a real sun rise, or sun set. You made the lighting and colors, just right. At Christmas in Phoenix, AZ, people wrap lights around the cactus plants for decoration. I bet they wear gloves when they do it! :-) The desert is a beautiful place, but I prefer the greeness of Ohio. Keep on creating with your art. You have a wonderful talent! Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, I like your star. Was it messy to make? Paper mache is great for creating. That's how Pinatas are made. My grand daughters in El Salvador always have one for their birthday celebrations. They are filled with candy and then broken open with the "wack" of a stick. A star is an important part in the Christmas story that we remember this time of year. Look at our barn on your way by and you might see one! Thanks for sharing your art with me. I love to see your work. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, Those are 2 happy pumpkins that you made! I love their smiles. You did a great job creating them. I would rather see their smiles, than frowns or scary faces. Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you get to eat some pumpkin pie after your turkey. Mmmmm! Good! Love, Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

Ashley, What a funny jack-o-lantern! Did you have enjoy making it? Did you carve a real jack-o-lantern at home? I always hate the squishy stuff inside, but the seeds are good toasted in the oven & then salted for a snack. Hope your Halloween was good. Costumes and trick or treat are fun. Keep creating and expressing yourself with your art. You have a talent! Love, Pearl :-)
-- Pearl

You did a great job on the pumpkin. I love it. Grandma
-- Kalene

Ashley, I just went through a slide show that featured all of your art. WOW! Your work is wonderful. I love all the bright colors that you pick to use in your creations! Enjoy what you do. That is the most important thing. Love, Aunt Pearl :-)
