Really like the contrasting vibrant colour and three dimensional layering in this piece. This feels like an exotic and magical place. -- Jane

Case! I really like this jar of bugs! You have all kinds of creatures, and they ALL WANT OUT! Very cute! Keep up your good work! Love and bugs--I mean hugs, GG Joye -- GGJoye

Wow, Woodland City is a very interesting and intriguing artwork. The distant mountain range as a backdrop for a colourful city rising out of the forest. I especially love the foremost (pine?) tree with armlike branches. The bold use of colour on the dwellings and flying machines is brilliant. Well done. Love you. Grammy Jammy -- Jane

I love those aspen trees! They remind me of the mountains in Colorado. The leaves are so delicate, and the trees so straight and tall--kind of loving each other. Keep up your good work, Case! I also love your Grade 2 picture of the whole range of snow-capped mountains, and one with the peace symbol on it. I would love to order it if it could have a Canandian address. I love you bunches, Case, and hope to see you soon. GGJoye -- Joye

I'm so glad to see this piece. Now I am anxious to hear you describe this city scape of your mind. I remember you telling me, but I couldn't visualize it. Now I can see the structure, color, and detail for myself. I love your art work, Case-O -- Grammy

Well Case, I very much like your three trees. The bark has great texture and the aspen look as if they have started leafing out in spring. I also like your sky very much. Well done! Grammy Jammy -- Jane

This is stunning, Case-O! Great work. Can't wait to see it in person! Love, Mama -- Jill

Case-O, we really like mixed media pieces. Is this pastels and colored pencils? We always enjoy your use of color: bright, bold, and unexpected. So fun the way you use the whole canvas! -- Papi and Grammy

Hey Case, That is one very large, very happy, very colourful fish swimming through the seaweed. Could that be you snorkelling? In Mexico perhaps? I look forward to hearing the back story when we next meet. Artists rule! Love, Grammy Jammy -- Jane

I love this happy fish and his friend following close behind! Is that a spaceship in the sky? A submarine? Lots of happy faces and movement in this one! Love, Mama -- Jill

I love those signs of love, Case! You do a great job in getting your message through! I'm interested in the background of this picture. Interesting textures! I love you, Case MacKay! GGJoye -- GG Joye

Hi Case, I really like this intersecting hearts piece. The use of different textures and shapes is very interesting. Is that an angel in the top corner? Well done. Love you. Grammy Jammy -- Jane

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! I love you and the texture, color and line contrast on this lovely piece. -- Grammy

I love the colors on this Valentine. Cool movement, too. I can almost feel your big, tender heart just by looking at it! Happy Valentine's Day. Love, Mama -- Jill

I love turtles. And this piece has captured the grace and beauty of one of the earths most enduring creatures. Brilliant use of colour. Well done Case. Grammy Jammy -- Jane

Oh, Case, we love this one. I feel like I'm floating along with this sea turtle. I love the air bubbles reminding me that I share something with this bright animal friend. Your color choices lift me up. Can't wait to see what comes along next. Papi says I should order a tee shirt for yoga. Think I will. Love, -- Grammy & Papi

Way to go, Caso! I love the underwater feel I get when looking at this picture! That turtle is really blowing bubbles and is enjoying his life in the ocean. Thank you for doing this! Love to you, GG Joye -- Joye

Case, we have really enjoyed all your art. This one and the weaving picture that preceded it make me want to touch the pieces. Have your brought these two from this year home yet? I am so anxious to see what is posted next. While we were in Mexico, we saw such great color and often thought of you and how you would appreciate the art of our neighbors to the South. Every year there is an art walk through the Machado Plaza featuring all kinds of media. We'll have to go when you visit! -- Papi

Case, we really like your work with patterns on the last two weaving pictures. I know a lady from Ghana who has some Kente fabrics, given to her in her wedding dowry. She would really enjoy this project! Bronco fans would also like your choice of colors. Papi and Grammy -- Sherry

Hi Case. Could this be the flag of Nashville India? Looking forward to hearing what inspired this colourful piece. Grammy Jammy -- Jane

Hey Case This is most interesting. Such an inspired idea to make rainbow vertices stripes then cut and separate the pieces horizontally producing a very dramatic art work. Cheers, Grammy Jammy -- Jane

I love the vibrant colors on this kente, Case-O! It's very true to to the Akan people of South Ghana. Nice work once again! -- Mama

Just now seeing this piece for the first time. Bright and bold. I love the way you filled the whole page with your snail so, bobbing up and down, enjoying life. It is going to be fun to see what you create this summer! -- Grammy

Oh boy, Case-O. I love this chicken. Makes me think of the many roosters we saw wandering about the streets in El Quelite a few days ago. What a great expression on the face. A hen or a young rooster? Either way, he looks like he is applying the brakes as if something has surprised him. Your work always suggests such movement. -- Grammy

What is this old gal thinking? She sure is colorful, and I love her bow! -- Mama

That little hermit crab looks like he is working hard. Where is he going? What is he doing? What a colorful world he lives in! Love, Mama -- Mama

I think I must have commented on this in my head and did not write it down. I do not like this one. Ha ha. I LOVE IT. Such a variety of blossoms and colours creating a beautiful bouquet. I also like the decoration on the vase. -- Jane

Ahoy Matey! The sea is looking rough. Good thing we have a super flexible bendy ship. Really like the green sails. Another fine picture Case. -- Jane

AAARRRHHH - T at its finest! Nice work! -- Mama

I have loved looking at this piece again and again. First, I noticed the texture of straw and brick, but wait! Second the color: the shading is quite intriguing. The placement of color on the page has an interesting and eye pleasing diagonal presence. I think it is so cool that you signed the page in that happy fluffy cloud. The colors there are quite beautiful and give the page a nice balance. But ooh the story your ninja pigs are living. Does the wolf see that trickle of smoke and all that fuel? This must have been a fun project! -- Grammy

I love this colorful bouquet! I wonder if even Mother Nature could top it. -- Mama

I really like the use of various shades of green in this picture as well as the detailed staggered brickwork and snowy mountain top. Ninja pigs are awesome! Well done. -- Jane

This seems to me to be a very lighthearted picture. Could the purple giraffe be laughing his head off? Wondering who the little guy in red is. Really like the detailed footwork. Another charming piece. -- Jane

I love the texture and colors in this piece, Case. The Big Bad Wolf has no chance against these ninja pigs! Way to go, Buddy! -- Mama

Your giraffe makes us anxious for a trip to the zoo. We like the way you used geometric shapes in representing the body parts. We see triangles, rectangles, and circles at work. We love the colors you chose, Case. -- Grammmy and Papi

Case-O, this purple giraffe is so jolly. I especially love her soft blue eyes and thick eyelashes (just like a live giraffe!). Queen Grace's magic adds lots of good energy to the piece. Nice work, as always, buddy! -- Mama

Case, I really appreciate your creativity with the use of rectangles. Black certainly makes the figure stand out. Good for you! I really like this picture! GGJoye -- Joye

I like this one, Case. It reminds me of Uncle Matt. He has a painting in his house by the artist you were studying. Your version has a nice balance to it. Looks like it would be fun to build it as a sculpture! Keep up the good work. We love seeing it! -- Grammy

Case-O, my favorite piece of the collection. Such energy and motion. Max and the Wild Things are some of my favorite characters in all children's books. I love the way Max appears, getting ready to stare into those terrible eyes and tame that wild thing. You must have had fun with this one. Love, -- Grammy

Darling Case, You have created a really extraordinary artwork with your "rainbow animals" picture. It might just be my favourite. I loved how generous you were with colour and movement. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Love you. Grammy Jammy -- Jane

Another under-the-sea beauty! I love the mixed media texture. -- Mama

How you use the different colours of red is spectacular. It sure is a mystery what the black spots are. And you painted all this as part of the ocean. Magnificent!!! -- G-Pa John

Case-O, I love that dapper owl. What an outfit! I wonder what he/she is thinking or waiting for? The movement in the sky is fitting of this time of year. Love, -- Mama

We love this one! What color and movement! Makes Papi want to go fishing with you sometime. Did you read "The Rainbow Fish" before painting? -- Grammy and Papi

Hi Case, This picture is very representative of one of the loveliest times of the year. Seasons change. The leaves have completed their cycle and are letting go in a gentle wind on a warm fall day. Great choice of autumn colours. Love ya, Grammy Jammy -- Jane

Case, this piece is a bold beautiful study in colour and motion. I picture you snorkelling down to a coral reef full of gorgeous creatures of the sea off the coast of Nashville India (near Australia). Love, Grammy Jammy -- Jane

Wow, what a rush of color! I feel like I'm snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef when I look at this wet, vibrant painting! -- Mama

Case, I love your falling leaves. Is this your first mixed media project? I can feel a breeze blowing on a sunny fall day when I look at it. I see your M for MacKay! Can't wait for your next posting. -- Grammy

This picture makes me really "feel" the fall. Thank you for representing my favorite season in such a beautiful way. Love, Mama -- Mama

We love your color choices, Case. Your Sesame Street Deconstructed piece is bright and bold! It reminds us of all the fun we've had through the years watching Big Bird and his Sesame Street friends on PBS with Uncle Matt, your mom, and Clara and you. -- Grammy and Papi

Cool cutting, Case! I like the eyes. xoxo -- Sarah

I Love the modern look of this deconstruction of Big Bird. Great use of color and the swirly lines as movement and feathers on the face. Another beautiful piece of art! -- Mama

Beautiful work, Case! I want to tell you that Chewy opened his eyes today! He is super cute. -- Sarah

Great picture Case. Can't wait for more. -- Aunt Cyndi

We love your first picture from art class. Grammy's favorite part is the yellow sky and the way your body is tilting just ever so slightly showing how you adjust to keep your balance. Papi says, "You really look like you are getting to be a good paddle boarder! And a great artist too." Love, -- Grammy and Papi

Dear Case, This portrait radiates a feeling of happiness. Love the use of colour and texture. Cannot wait to hear more about it when we visit. Keep up the good work. -- Grammy Jammy

Look at that SUPer! Awesome drawing of an awesome kid! -- Mama
