Wow, Kate! This picture is beautiful! I really like how you mixed various colors in the water for a stormy effect. And the contrast with the bright, happy sky is very striking. Well-done! Lots of love,
-- Mommy

Hi Kate, This is really cool...a huddle! I can't wait to hold this one in my hands so I can turn it and look at each snowman right side up. I bet turning it will help the snowflakes seem to be falling from the sky. Even though it's Springtime temperatures outside, this makes me feel like Winter. Great job! I love you.
-- Dad

Hi Kate, this is really cool! I've never seen this kind of project before. I'm pretty sure I'm able to find all your letters, but you'll have to test me when you bring this one home. Keep up the great work! I love you.
-- Daddy

Hi Kate, As I told you the other day when we had to stop back in my office after getting you and your brothers, "Trees in the Sunset" is my absolute favorite work of art that you have made so far! I can't wait to see the actual painting in person. Keep up the great work! I love you.
-- Daddy

Wow, Kate! That looks amazing. I hope I get to see it in person. Love, Aunt Susie

Wow Kate! This piece is really impressive! The colors, the precision of the shapes and lines, the 3-D perspective... it is very eye-catching. I love you lots,
-- Mommy

Your art is creative and beautiful like you!
-- Aunt Michelle

Nicely done, Katrien! This pictures makes me want to do two things: 1) visit the Eiffel Tower in France and 2) work on your 3D puzzle with you! I love you,
-- Mommy

Hey Katrien, this is a very interesting imaginary bird! The green tail adds an extra touch of the unlikely. This animal almost looks like a colorful bird-pig. Very creative! Lots of love,
-- Mommy

Dear Kate, I love this picture because it is so pretty - just like you!
-- Aunt Baszi

Hey Kate, great job on this geometric heart! You color and pattern choice are very eye-catching, and you do a fantastic job blending. Lots of love,
-- Mommy

Beautiful work!

What a cute, penguin, Katrien! The background sky is really beautiful. The dark blues and purples blend very well. Lots of love,
-- Mommy

Hi Kate, This looks really cool. I can't wait to see it in person to get a better look at the different media you used for this project. Keep up the great work! Love you, Dad
-- Daddy

Your penguin expresses such a sparkling style. Just like you!
-- Aunt Shell

Hi Kate, great painting! I love the use of shadows in these last two creations. Are those footprints in the snow along the bottom? Whose footprints are they? Love you.
-- Dad

Dear Katrien -- I just love the Winter Trees. The scene brings you into nature and is very calming. Great creation. Love,
-- Aunt Anita

Awesome picture! I love the shadows!
-- Aunt Basci

Great job, Kate!! Love the dark, shadowy side!
-- Ms. Betz

Hi Kate.....Wow! I really like this....I don't think I've ever seen a snowman picture like this before....with the cool light/shadow contrast. I think you did a great job! It makes me look forward to the winter and the snow now. I love you.
-- Dad

Hey Kate...I can't remember if I commented on this one or not....but I think it's great! Great colors....and gold looks really cool as the outline...great job. I love you.
-- Dad

Beautiful! The shadow effect is awesome!
-- Aunt Shell

Such a beautiful example of fall.
-- Aunt Shell

Hey Kate! What an interesting abstract face! Is this the assignment that you used pastel chalk to keep the water color paint from running? I like the colors of this piece. With love,
-- Mom

Hi Kate, This "Picasso Face" is really cool. I love the color scheme and tones.....before I even saw the title of your work I was thinking of how it reminds me of images I saw in my Art History course in college.....very cool.....your painting makes me want to look at more art!
-- Daddy

Pretty cool picture, Katrien! Each of the items really represent who you are and what you like. Well-done! I love you,
-- Mommy

Wow, Kate! I really like this rainbow cat. I think my favorite feature is her big, beautiful, brown eyes. They remind me of yours:) I love you,
-- Mommy

Hey Kate, Even though I like dogs better than cats.....this cat is AWESOME!!! Great colors and patterns. Love,
-- Daddy

I love this picture, Katrien! It's so vibrant and full of life-- just like you! I love you,
-- Mommy

I LOVE it Kate.....I think this might be my NEW favorite!
-- Daddy

Well-done, Katrien! Green and purple is my favorite color combination, and it looks beautiful next to the red/pink, orange and yellow. Also, did you draw this heart by hand? It has excellent symmetry:) With love,
-- Mommy

So pretty, it warms my heart!
-- Aunt Shell

What a beautiful town decorated for Christmas! As always, your color choices are right on target! I love you,

-- Aunt Shell

It's a perfect winter image Kate! And what pretty brown hair and eyes:) I know mommy likes the hat...I think I like the scarf better. Love you
-- Daddy

Great job on this portrait, Katrien! Is this snowman wearing a wizards' hat? Love you,
-- Mommy

I'm loving the snowwoman's hat and hair! Nice Job.
-- Aunt Shell

Hey Kate, Aunt Michelle is right.....it looks just like the blanket on your bed that Granny made for you. Great job! Love,
-- Daddy

It looks like a warm and comfy quilt. Perfect time of year for such a beautiful visual.
-- Aunt Shell

Great job, Kate! That hair really looks like straw. Love, Aunt Susie P.S. That's the cutest scarecrow I ever saw.

Out of the three flowers the purple one is tops. The center squares just highlight it beautifully.
-- Aunt Shell

Another beautiful creation Kate.....great job! A pretty spring banner is just what we're missing at the beach house.
-- Daddy

Hey Katrien, I agree with Aunt Shell. This bird's beak is rather creative, almost like a jewel. I love you lots
-- Mommy

You are so talented, Kate!
-- Basci

?????????
-- Uncle Luke

Wow Kate! This is awesome....it's sooo good! I love it. In some ways it seems really different to me than all of your other artwork, but at the same time, it's familiar. It also reminds me a little of the dinosaur puzzle we do together....with things drawn in both the foreground and the background. Keep up the good work. I love you.
-- Daddy

The beak of your bird is my favorite part. Quite unique, can't say I've ever seen anything like it. Love, Aunt Shell

Hi Katrien, this one is quite beautiful. I want to hang this one in our house where everyone can see it as soon as you bring it home! I love you, Mommy.

Katrien, I love the more realistic nature of this piece of work. Abstract is nice, but this shows you got some real drawing skills. Can't wait until I can afford to buy some of your work. And I had two samoas after breakfast this morning (don't tell Owen!) Delicious. Love, Aunt Susie

Katrien, These flowers are so pretty! Love, Aunt Basci and Uncle Luke

Spring is in the air. Beautiful!
-- Aunt Shell

Katrien, you've done a great job on this. I think it's even prettier than real forsythia! Love you
-- Daddy

I'm completely mesmerized....Love Aunt Shell

Katrien, you do amazing work. Keep it up and someday you will be a famous artist. Love, Jidu

"The Mayor is there....And he thinks it is grand, And he raises his hat.....As they dash by the stand." Quite the illustration.
-- Aunt Shell

Very beautiful Katrien! Keep up the good work!
-- Uncle Luke

Wow! I am so impressed with your effort Katrien. Your heart is very well-shaped, and I love your color choice. You have such an eye for color. I love you...
-- Mommy

Can you feel the love? Beautifully done.
-- Aunt Shell

Kate honey, you just keep making prettier and prettier pictures! Watercolor Leaves was my most favorite, but then you made Kandinsky Circles and that became my favorite. But now, this Jim Dine inspire heart is my new favorite. Great job!
-- Daddy

Dear Katrien, Uncle Luke and I love this picture! You are so talented that Uncle Luke thought it was a Kandisnky! We love you very much and hope to see you soon. Love, Aunt Basci and Uncle Luke
