-- Karen

Looks exactly like your goggles! Well done.

Hi Jess. I love your new art work.
-- Cliff

How appropriate! Swim goggles.
-- Lisa

I'm not sure what my favorite part is. I think the section with the hearts, stars and flowers. Very nice job.
-- Steve

Wow. This is very cool. It would look really pretty in a colorful frame.
-- Ava

This may be my most favorite project ever!

LOVE the dolphin in the middle! And the hearts and stars and flowers! Great job!

Love the use of blank space in the shape of a dolphin.
-- Lisa

Love the picture! And now...my favorite Van Gogh joke! Van Gogh hands a wrapped up box to his girlfriend. "Vincent, please tell me this isn't another ear." "What?"

LOVE THIS! Can't wait to get the original so we can frame it.

Beautiful! I love the different shades of orange.

Dear Jessica, This is real nice. Did you do it with paint or paper?
-- Uncle John

Nice job! Even a bendy straw!

Awesome- immediately thought of, "Lucy in the sky with diamonds"! Which is cool! Great visual into the future.

This is my new favorite. Love it!
-- Karen

Great palette! You should do something similar in warm colors now. Best Love
--Uncle John
ps. Tinkerbell asked when you are coming to visit again.

Nice job, as always!
-- Lisa

I really like the bubbles on the "swim" drawing. And I love the color combination in the other.

A+ work! Love the colors!

I know you had a lot of fun doing this project...and it shows. Well done.
-- Karen

Nice job. Reminds me of sea weed or coral branches.
-- Lisa

A-maze-zing! love, Nana
-- Martha/Nana

YUMMY!!!
-- Nana

Looks good enough to eat!
-- Karen

Great job! Makes me hungry! Where's the pickle? Always gotta ask for the pickle! Then they charge you extra for the pickle! PICKLES!!!
-- Dad

Bagel and cream cheese! Nice job.
-- Karen

I know you did this one just for me!!! Blue is my favorite! It will look great in my kitchen or out in the yard.
-- Lisa

awesome!
-- matt

I love all of the different patterns you used. Blues and greens - my favorite!
-- Karen

Well done! I like the green building to the right of the house. And of course I love the flowers!!!
-- Lisa

Friedensreich Hundertwasser is one of my favorite Austrian artists! His use of biomorphic form is comparable to other greats such as Gaudí and Klimt. Now we can add Jessica to that list! At first one might consider this a rendering of a cartoon still from a Dr. Seuss (see what I did there?), however, as an example, if you look to the left of the artists' scene you will readily note the architectural motives seen in Viennese prints and buildings along the canals (notably: Villa delle Rose at the entry of the Giardino Eden, Giudecca, Venice). Hundertwasser's Transautomatism art theory is probably one of the art worlds greatest and, some may consider, lesser known achievements. In that, it draws the viewer into the work. I want to run and jump through the world Jessica has created! Brilliant! Great job Jessica and Ms. Cashel! Sources: Wikipedia, life, and a great art teacher at UNC-G.
-- Dad

I think this is my new favorite! Beautiful colors and I love the flowers. Well done.
-- Karen

I like the rain clouds with the rainbow clouds! Nice job of working outer space in there too.
-- Lisa

I really like the rainbow clouds. The alien is pretty cool too. Great job!
-- Mom

Righteous work, man. Righteous.
-- Dad

My favorite part is the "Fan" building, or perhaps it's a ferris wheel. Either way, that's my favorite part.
-- Lisa

These are all my favorite colors. It also reminds me of sunset over the desert. Lovely!
-- Martha/Nana

I love the way the sky turned out!
-- Karen

Nothing like monsters playing hockey and making snowmen! Tis the season!
-- Lisa

In the time before the Winter Sun kingdoms were united against the dreaded Ink Blottians, the salvation of the Snow peoples relied on a small band of brave warriors whose skills with the long-sword and crudely shaped blades with which they would glide across the frozen rivers and lakes in valiant battle with the harsh beasts from beyond the Glades of Nromdoor. These warriors, though few in number, eventually banded together with the Snowmenian tribes and ultimate and decisive victory was theirs! The Kingdom of the Winter Sun was vanquished and saved! All the people gathered for a great feast and had a big snowball fight! And drank hot chocolate.
-- Dad

Nice monster! Great details too - I like the human hockey player.
-- Karen

I really liked the colors you used with this picture. You are doing a great job with all your pictures.
-- Aunt Joan

I love all of the details...especially the flags at the end of the lanes.
-- Karen

Super Gymnast!! Love the mask.
-- Karen

Great scene of a snowy St. Louis. I especially like the battleship attacking the giant green pickle before it destroys the Arch!
-- Dad

Love this!!! You should enter it in the mayor's holiday card contest?
-- Lisa

I really like the swirls at the top of the page. The colors are really pretty to.
-- Karen

You need to do two more to finish the set. "Swim" with a blue background perhaps?
-- Karen

What fun shapes! Looks like crazy hair and eyes at the top.
-- Karen

I have never seen any sculptures like these! I am now looking up this inspirational artist to lean more about him and where his work is displayed. Thanks for inspiring me to learn more!
-- Lisa

Awesome! The use of color really adds a unique dynamic to Dubuffet's original works.
-- Dad

I really like the different shapes you used when coloring the piece.
-- Mom

were you thinking about a TRIATHLON?!!!
-- Lance

Love the way you mixed the purple and the green,white
-- Lance

Love the way you used the stripies and the pattern un like me.
-- Lance

Like the use of fall colors. It reminds me of leaves falling and blowing in the wind.
-- Lisa

I like that it's a rainbow...but not a rainbow. Roy G Biv
-- Mom

Awesome!
-- Dad

Interesting word choice. Nice job.
-- Lisa

My first reaction to this piece was, 'Who is posting Georgia O'Keeffe on Jessica's art page?!' Then I realized Ms. O'Keeffe, while a fine artist in her own right, would have never been able to express the intricacies Jessica has with this piece. I recall our discussion about this piece, her mention of the composition representing a "pathway to the beach". How delightfully she ties in the varied meanderings in her minds-eye sojourn to sand and shore! Adding components of earlier works (neon colors representing vibrant flora and fauna), Jessica in essence takes our hand as we walk, unhurriedly, to the shore. Perchance discussing the field of poppies on our right or stopping to carefully study the lone starfish... In due course the viewer is drawn (lead perhaps?) to the very center of the work where he or she can decide to venture onto their own pathway to the beach. A visionary masterpiece! 4 Stars!
-- Dad

This master-work was actually commissioned by me after “Fall leaf”. The artist was asked to visualize a beach-scape at sunset. As the viewer can see, she captured, right handily, this vision of an idyllic end to a wonderful day of languishing on sand and surf! The linear progression of color from surf to sunset is transforming in that, with non-standard colors, the artist appears to interpret the spirits of the beach goer saddened at leaving the childhood wooly-comfort of days past spent in gleeful play as wave nipped and retreated from sandy fingers and toes. And yet, as the colors meld into a burnt-umber of settling sun, we feel the eternal pull of the ocean calling us as if to say, “Tomorrow, my friend, tomorrow!” A timeless vision indeed! 5 Stars!
-- Dad

Using nature as her backdrop for this piece, we can see the artist has taken a Warholesque technique to interpreting nature through the simple, yet complex, study of a leaf. The minute detail at the center glowing outwards is somewhat emblematic of Warhol’s Flowers, 1964 (Red, Pink and Yellow)- an early foray into his psychedelic-pop-culture iconoclastic signature. Jessica infers this with pastels; softening the edges and using non-linear, concentric lines that flow outwards giving the observer a feeling of warmth as well as the divination that, although the winter requiem is playing into a black background, spring will again return to glow and refresh the palette of Mother Earth. 4 Stars!
-- Dad

Love that you covered the entire page! This could be the perfect back-drop to a GSA Event!!
-- Lisa

Haha! What a great comment! :) And great work as always, Jessica!
-- Ms. Cashel

*This* is art! Simple lines and colors blend to create a complex, non-linear composition that offers the viewer the pleasure of interpreting the piece from the perspective of the artist. And yet, the artist may well be aware that the viewer will look closer and see, perhaps, a Koi Pond in early winter. The fragile lines of an abandoned church's' stained glass window. The dark sky after a summer storm as the clouds drift away and the young lads and lasses go to gather plantains for the evening meal. A superb piece. 5 Stars!
-- Dad

I love the colors you used!
-- Karen

I love that you started with a real leaf.
-- Karen

Nice job. Always interested to see what you create.
-- Lisa

Very pretty. I love that you covered the entire page!
-- Karen

I really,really, REALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like this! love you!
-- Nana

I love this. What a great view out your window!!!
-- Mom

The lines and composition capture the quintessential essence of early Egyptian culture as well as the vibrancy of the Nile Delta peoples (pre-Alexandrian era). This masterwork is captivating in that: The feline form lends to the cultural mores of the period where wealth and beauty were not only signs of social status but also state the bias of the elite. One would contemplate the finding of this entombed for thousands of years in a pyramid or sarcophagus yet Jessica has brought the stunning past of Egyptian culture to life for us all to appreciate and ponder the ancient wonders of the past. 5 stars!
-- Matt

LOVE THIS! And the background is cool too.
-- Mom

Jess, Like the way it appears to be looking at it through a prism. Cool!
-- Lisa

I like this Jessica...very cubist...like some of Picasso's artwork. Maybe you should sign this picture with Jesso or Picassica?
-- Cliff

It must be depressing for other parents to come and gaze upon the wonders of Jessica's talents then realize their child will never be as good. Just kidding.
-- Dad

WOW! Nice detail in color variations in the brick chimney. Love the windows in the Arch. My personal favorite are the ice cicles, I like snow flakes and ice cycles.
