I love seeing how you create your art. It is nice to see it defined as a process--with a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Fun video, Lia. I like the musical accompaniment. Very intriguing bit of whimsy with the moving glass.

Hot and cold, I love the contrast--and the contrasting colors! The snowman looks happy.

Love this picture, Lia!

Pretty heart! You found a creative way to repurpose a regular sheet of paper.

A beautiful heart--that looks like a gem with many facets.

Great way to highlight your message. I like graphic art where you help someone pay attention to information and yet still create a great picture.

Great textures. This looks like tile. Could you imagine a bathroom with this?

This is superb. I love the color and the suggestion of landscape (a forest?). I would like one of these on my wall.

A carrot in a volcano? You are really getting good with color--and is this ink? The background is watercolor, right?

The vibrant colors make this piece leap! You have made a beautiful piece of art, Lia. What paints did you use for this? Grandmother

Lia, what did you use to create these pretty designs? They look like the end papers in some of Granddaddy's books. They have a lovely marbled look. Grandmother

Green and purple--beautiful! These were your Dad's favorite colors when he was your age. Grandmother
-- Susan

Stary, starry night.
-- Mark

Beautiful May colors!
-- Mark

Love, love, love this little creature! Grandmother
-- Susan

It's interesting to see the changes from pencil to crayon to marker. Pleasing colors and composition. Also, I just saw again your party elephant--Love it! Grandmother
-- Susan

Portrait of the artist--it is always hard to get started.
-- Mark

I like your flowers. The fall is a good time to remember the fragrance of summer.
-- Mark

I love your colors. This looks like finger painting: waves of water washing a green rainbow. This looks like "ART".
-- Mark

Oh, such a sweet unicorn with a rainbow mane. Is she coming home with you?
-- Susan (Grandmother)

Lia, this is so cool. It could be a poster for an art fair!
-- Susan (Grandmother)

This looks like you dipped the bottom and then drew lines--or maybe you pasted the white part on the top. This looks like fun to make.
-- Mark

I like the colors and the lines. I like this whole series of hearts. You have many different versions.
-- Mark

I like hearts. What is it made of? Is it big or could you make it into a pin?
-- Mark

I really like the colors and the placement of the bears. This would make a great poster. The bear in the middle looks like a key charm. I like the red one in the grass. The one in the middle could be on a raft and the other bears are watching from the river bank. Is that a book in the upper left hand corner?
-- Mark

I love your Unicorn. How do you dry the clay? Will it break if you play with it? Do you use just regular paint? Have you made other animals?
-- Mark

Ooooo...I love this little critter! Is it coming home with you?
-- Susan (Grandmother)

Lia, I like all of the hearts displayed on Artsonia. Some of them look metallic. What are you using for color? Grandmother
-- Susan

I love your heart in folded paper. You will have to show me how to do that. Does it have a pocket? Such pretty gold with decorations!
-- Mark

Love the party pets, Lia! Ia the frog is inviting me in--now that the people are away?
-- Grandmother (Susan)

I like that you are making little objects. This looks like it would be fun to hold. I can almost feel the edges.
-- Mark

This is a wonderful drawing. And its about my favorite subject, stuffed animals!
-- Mark

Hahaha-- mostly just clayton!
-- Lia

This is the outside of the fridge! The "falling alphabet" are actually magnets!
-- Lia

Haha, the eww is the moldy cheese forgotten in back of the fridge!
-- Lia

No, not a whale. It is a dolphin :)
-- Lia

***no question intended. That was an emoji! :)
-- Lia

Lia says: yes he does have a mustache. Thank you for the nice comments ??
-- Lia

Lia l, I love your nutcracker! great details, beautiful bright colors! Love you! Grams
-- Cindy

What a great nutcracker! I love his red hat and blue coat and the big nutcracker he is carrying. Does he have a mustache?
-- Mark

What a beautiful drawing, Lia! You have a good sense of color and shape.
-- Susan (Grandmother)

Oooh, I can feel the hot sun and sand! I love the vivid colors. Is that a whale surfacing near the top?
-- Susan (Grandmother)

Lia, I like your refrigerator. I know you love baby carrots, but what's the "ewww"? Grandmother
-- Susan (Grandmother)

Falling letters! Its raining the alphabet.
-- Mark

The outside of your locker. I like that you are drawing all the things in your daily life--like I do.
-- Mark

Your locker! Great to see everything!
-- Mark

I am loving these pictures of places where we keep things. I like all the food in the refrigerator.
-- Mark

Does "Stay out" mean just Clayton or everyone? I like the colors and the BIG lock.
-- Susan (Grandmother)

Is this your locker, Lia? I love it!
-- Susan (Grandmother)

Very striking color arrangement! I really like the character in the top left corner--so sweet & scared. Why is the cat hissing?
-- Susan

Interesting 3-D art! It could be a spider web or a hubcap or.....?
-- Susan

Lia, I love your bright emoji's! you do a nice job Miss artist! I love you! Grams
-- Cindy

This is so delicate. It must have been hard to tie all those strings and sew the top. How round, how pretty.
-- Mark

What a great skeleton head! It looks like something for the Day of the Dead around Halloween when people in Mexico have skeletons to remind them of those who have died and gone to heaven.
-- Mark

Lia, this is exciting art! I see faces and designs; the shapes remind me of apple cores! Grandmother
-- Susan

A green cup for tea, for milk, for "Mom". Did you mold this by hand? I like clay and the way it feels when you squish it.
-- Mark

Lia, I love these shapes. They almost look like pottery pieces with similar designs. I like the colorful one shining in the middle.
-- Mark

Lia, did you get this to fly? Love the feather-fire effect! Grandmother
-- Susan

I love your airplane. I see the flame coming out of the tail. I see the wings. I looks heavy. Does it have a lot of people going to Paris?
-- Mark

OK Lia, you'll have to explain this one to me. What are you showing here--absence? a void? an old-fashioned movie camera (the black part looks like that). What? Grandmother
-- Susan

Little heads with big eyes! Are those other circles heads in a stadium? Oh no! A big black thing is eating its way through the stadium! Help!
-- Mark

Lia, your picture is full of energy and movement. Very nice fingerprint figures of people and animals. Grandmother
-- Susan

This seems like an invitation to fun on your birthday. Hooray! I can't wait to eat cake and ice cream with you.
-- Mark

I like this 3 D shape. You will have to tell me how you did it. We can start to make 3D and 2D pictures.
-- Mark

Beautiful and so festive! Grandmother
-- Susan

Merry Christmas! I love the colors and the wayI see the ornments and branches of the tree. The parts suggest the whole. Great!
-- Mark

I like your letters. They look like a family of worms spelling a message about love.
-- Mark

What a pretty girl in the mirror! I like her lips and her eyebrows and her bottles of makeup. I like your pictures of people.
-- Mark

Did you learn that princesses love make-up when you were at Disney World? What else do they love? Will you draw more pictures? Grandmother
-- Susan

Lia, this reminds me of the comic book you made. So many ways of expressing emotions through pictures!
-- Susan

I really like your emoji book and now you have an emoji chart. Are you keeping a chart of your trip to Disneyworld? Is this a smile day?
-- Mark

What a fun and challenging skate park! Grandmother
-- Susan

This is a very cool playground. I love that you made everything out of paper! You could make a whole village. You must have done a lot of planning and careful cutting.
-- Mark

Lia, this is a beautiful melding of colors and interesting shapes. Grandmother
-- Susan

I love your colors. It looks like a red fish or a plate from pottery class--anyway it is swimming. What a wonderful watercolor!
-- Mark

I like the colors. It seems like a yellow sun and a red sun and trees of different colors. I really like the blue lines showing the sky and the grass. How nice to be outside! Great picture!
-- Mark

I like the campfire and the tents with the mountains in the background. Is that a bunny in one tent and a bear in the other? Is the bunny your stuffed animal? Is that you and Clayton by the fire? I like the moon and stars. It gets cold at night now and it is good to have the fire.
-- Mark

This is a delightful house. And it's 3-dimensional, too! I really like the sun that's shining on the house. Grandmother
-- Susan

A hose with a television, a bath tub, stars, beds--who lives at the top? That looks like a happy sun. Could I live in that house?
-- Mark

Lia, your flower looks beautiful against the deep purple and blue. It almost looks as if it's growing from the ground toward the light. Grandmother
-- Susan

Beautiful colors! I like the green shoot, the yellow, and layers of color--so nice to see bright colors in the fall.
-- Mark

I like your use of colored circles--and they spell Lia, your name! What great colors and I see Grace and is that Isham?
-- Mark

The sun over a colorful house (?) or are these just flowering plants? What a great spring picture!
-- Mark

"wow" and "Grace"? I like your message in the green field and the pink background.
-- Mark

This is one of my favorites from earlier in the year: Girl with Red Bow. Is that Clayton on the other side of the rainbow curtain?
-- Grandmother (Susan)

Cool colors!
-- Grandmother (Susan)

Lia, this is such a pleasant picture to look at. You have a good eye for color and design. I like the mix of lines and soft circles. Did you use colored pencils, watercolor, and paper for this?
-- Grandmother (Susan)

Oooh, scary teeth and blood! But at the same time this girl looks like she might be a fun friend. Great mask!
-- Grandmother (Susan)

What a great face! Is this a mask for an actor? So much red and such teeth!
-- Mark

Great colors! It looks like a quilt or a woven fabric. What a wonderful picture!
-- Mark

Wonderful! Spring, flowers. I like the little boy and the spring colors.
-- Mark

You are thinking of spring, aren't you? Your picture has so many images of spring. I love the squirrel climbing to her nest and the happy sun in the blue sky. I think the girl is you and you're really enjoying the day.
-- Grandmother (Susan)

Absolutely beautiful! A wonderful tree, birds, flowers, sky--it makes me feel like spring. Who is that very pretty girl!
-- Mark

What a cute snowman (oops, showgirl with a bow on her head)!
-- Mark

I complimented Lia on her work, to which she replied, "I did NOT make that!!!!" She seemed offended. Oops! ;)
-- Jessica

Great colors and imagination Lia! Love, gma
-- Cindy

Lia, this is a beautiful Christmas tree! Your artistic skills are improving all the time! Love you, gma Downes
-- Cindy

What a happy picture! Lovely colors, too. Grandmother
-- Susan

Lia, this picture makes me think of the game tic-tac-toe. What were you thinking of when you drew it? Grandmother
-- Susan

Lia, this is a beautiful Christmas tree with presents underneath. Grandmother
-- Susan

Merry Christmas! I love your tree. I like the star and all the presents.
-- Mark

I like the movement in your picture--spiraling out from the star. Nice to see the black and gold--Go Hawks!
-- Susan

Blue, green yellow, orange, pink, and purple turning in a big circle: a star, a heart, and black and gold stripes: I love the movement and color. Great!
-- Mark

Lia says: It's a design. There's stripes and colors and kinda polka-dots.

Lia says: I wanted to draw the wheat up. (Mom note: I think she means 3-dimensional.) So I put the wheat, then the grass, then the sky. I wanted to fill the whole page. It reminded me of when we drive by the wheat-- like the corn fields-- to get to the soccer games. And it's NOT night time. ("Mom, did you put it is NOT night, yet????". Yes I did! ;)

Lia says this is like a picture with a whole bunch of other pictures in it. She found lots of smiley faces, one frown, a parrot with witch hair, a ghost, a heart, and lots of worms :)

Great lines moving together like worms or swirling water. I like the colors. Sometimes all those dots look like the eyes in a face and then some of the lines look like a smile. Is that a ghost on the right bottom part? Its like looking in the water and seeing all kinds of shapes and pictures.
-- Mark

I love the colors and all those little rectangles. It looks like ice cubes in a big glass.
-- Mark

Lia, this makes me think of a storm coming to an Iowa cornfield still lit by the sun. What a beautiful light!
-- Grandmother

Very nice Lia, you have a lot of beautiful colors and shapes. Keep up the good work.
-- Dave

Lia, I love the colors. This sort of looks like an ice cream cone to me, or two worms, or a many-colored heart. Great!
-- Mark

I love the yellow and green--is it a farm field.? The sky looks a little dark. Will it rain? Those swirling colors make it seem like a breeze is blowing. Do you see this out your window? When I close my eyes I can hear the wind blowing the green and yellow plants. i like it.
-- Mark

Lia, I love your color. Is that your blond hair shining in the sun, a girl with a red dress?
-- Mark

Dear Lia: I love your animal. I appears to be enjoying the sun. Will it soon start to run?
-- Mark

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pictures, Lia. Grandmother
-- Susan

Lia, super, fantastic job on this picture! Great colors and good job of drawing also I love you, Grandma Downes
-- Grandma downes

Lia, I like this. It looks like a key. Is it a key to your house? Sometime maybe we can make a purse or a hairbrush or other things you find around the house.
-- Mark

Lia, tell me about this pretty piece of art. How big is it? Is it something you can wear?
-- Susan

Cecilia, I like this. Who is the person on the right? Grandmother
-- Susan

Are these two people you and Clayton looking at your Christmas tree? That's a nice red bow. Do you have one like it?
-- Grandmother

Lia, your mom looks very comfortable. What a good place to nap!
-- Grandmother

Clayton and Lia out for a walk! I love it.
-- Mark

Lia, this is a beautiful collage. The colors are very pleasing to look at. I recognize the ladybug because there are many ladybugs like this on our back porch!
-- Grandmother

Lia, the lines in this picture are so interesting. You have a good eye for design. from Grandmother
-- Susan

Lia says: This me & my house, and around it is a picture frame.
