I wish I could see this weaving in person so I could tell what size it is. I can imagine it as a Christmas ornament or a wall hanging. It would be lovely as either. You have a good eye for color. -- Grandma Sue

Neato. What are the materials? Nice color selection and neat application. -- Steve

Alistair, so now you're into weaving! That's a very pretty piece. I especially like the blue--such a pretty shade of blue, and one of my favorite colors. Grandma Eleanor and I are looking forward to visiting you in late May and hope we get to see some of your art--the "real things." Hi to your Mom and Dad, and hi to you from Grandma El. Love, Grandpa Jim. -- Grandpa Jim

Alistair, did you know that GG and your Greatgrandfather Bob owned a houseboat on the Mississippi River? When I was in high school and a bit older we used to go to the River on weekends. It was sort of like camping on a boat. When your Uncle Matt was a baby, he got to ride on the houseboat. I like your picture. It brought back a lot of memories! -- Grandma Sue

There must be a good story that goes with this under the sea picture. I'd like to hear about it! -- Grandma Sue

Alistair, I really like your lion picture. It looks like you have also drawn some fish in the River. Good job! Love, Grandma Sue!! -- Sue

I have some questions about your picture "cave art ". This is very interesting. I can imagine this drawing inside a cave and wondered if that is how you, too, saw this drawing? I like how you use very earthy brown tones in this picture because it really makes me think of being in a cave. Do you remember our hike in the Maquoketa Caves? I wonder if there were any cave drawings there? -- Grandma Sue

I see that you made four different-colored columns with the water colors. With 26 letters, the bottom row has six letters and the other rows only have five. Your design is so neat and organized. Love you! -- Liz

How exciting to see your series of fire engine pictures! They look like you took a lot of time and thought in making them. I was happy to see your second picture because I so enjoyed the first one. -- Grandma Sue

Alistair, I really like your picture of the fire engine. It is very detailed. I also like the colors that you used in the 2 other more abstract paintings. Good choice. I enjoy seeing your art work on line since we live so far away and we can't see in easily in person. -- Grandma Sue

Lovely color combination. Some of my personal favorites in there. -- Liz
