This is really cool art! I love the polka dot soccer shirt in MSU colors and the colorful chevron background, fun party hat, glasses and mustache. The drawing of you is very much to scale, which is very impressive! Should we frame this? Love, Mom -- Juli

Dear Rachel, This is a beautifully designed painting with great color choices. I especially was impressed with the way you handled the center of the flower using larger and darker shapes that receded to gradually smaller and lighter shapes. This added depth and a 3-dimensional effect. Excellent artwork! Love, Grandma K. -- Karen

Rachel, This is an excellent abstract using repetition to create a visual rhythm. Your shapes with varied heights and overlap created a nice feeling of depth in your composition. I liked your color choices and especially your small use of yellow that draws your eye into this composition. Grandma K. -- Karen
