This is really neat, James. It is so realistic it almost looks like a photograph. I remember when you were telling me about this project last week while you we’d working on it. You certainly captured both pieces!

I agree with you about the water bottle. It looks very realistic. The crackers do also. I'd like to have one please.

Hi James. Love the cat. I feel like reaching out and petting her. Very creative and fun.

James, this is a very interesting project idea, capturing a period of time and your experiences in a piece of art. You’ll have to tell me more about visiting a ‘cat cafe’ next time I see you! Never heard of such a thing

While I am not much of a cat person I really like your drawing. It’s a good representation of you and your summer. The drawing is very life like. Your choice of symbols is right on in fact I could use them myself. I prefer the bright colors you used - they tend to stand out - catch your eye. I tried to visualize pastel colors - nice - but would they reach out and say “look what I did”. Good work James I enjoyed looking at it and thinking about your drawing.

I must say I enjoy your work because it makes me think about it. Each one has been unique and I always look forward to the next project. I like the design of this one and the color for the most part. Good job

An interesting piece. The painting looks good to me but maybe improve detail on your next piece.

Hi James! I can’t tell if the two dark circles are holes? Is there a hollow part in the middle connecting those two dark cicrcles? Or are those just eyes?

Hi James. I didn’t realize how much artwork you’ve got here on Artsonia. I like this apple one. Which one of your projects this year was the most challenging for you?
Posted 2 years ago by Uncle Jj
I had to think on this one - wasn’t sure what you were aiming for - read your comments said ok I can see that. I bet it was fun to make and I am glad you had fun making it. Keep up the good work - I look forward to seeing your creations.

This is an interesting use of cardboard. You picked one of your favorite subjects which had to be fun. I like the color contrast too!

Well James I am not sure - it is bright I like the color and the eye certainly gets my attention. After looking at it a bit I do like it. Definitely an interesting piece. Good work James

That is an interesting piece of pottery. The whole process sounded complicated. The yellow is nice and bright. I like it but don’t know who the character is you were going for. Grandma

I do like it, James. It's a bright cheery color and the eye is very symmetrical. Mine are NEVER even like this. You have a good eye. Hahahaha.

When I first saw this I said ok nice then I read your statement and it took on a new meaning. Very cleaver James that had to take a lot of thought. I like it - well done - keep us thinking

Wow James I had to look at this one for a little bit but since it is an abstract that is probably what you wanted us to do. Very interesting and well done - you put a lot of imagination into it - I like it. Keep up the good work - and continue to share your creativity with us.

James this is an interesting kitty that you created. Glad you were able to finish a long distance art lesson. Good Job!

Wow James I must say you certainly have caught Violet’s personality. I see her as a very serious cat but one who is thinking and taking everything in with very cautious eyes. Good job - one of your best.

Wow James did you get this idea from your trip to Florida? I like it a lot - the blue especially is very rich. Keep up the good work
