very Peter Max...of course, you would not know who he was...

that is really very beautiful...nice work!

Is that supposed to be Pop-Pop?

I have really enjoyed being able to see Reagan's and your art work...I really liked the abstract designs...both of you are doing very nice work...I love you and hope to see you soon...pop-pop

Well, McLaren, even though you aren't a fan of cats you are excellent at putting their image on paper. This cat doesn't seem as scary as the one in Ohio! -- Grandma

McLaren you are progressing beautifully as an artist. In the photo I can't quite make out what's on either side of the center part where the heart is. I hope I remember to ask your tomorrow. -- Grandma

another awesome work of art...keep up the good work McLaren -- Michael

These are about the only flowers around our house, McLaren...lol. Thank goodness Spring is here! Your wildflowers look like they are gently swaying in the breeze. All of your artwork shows how much you enjoy your projects. Love, Grandma -- Grandma Maureen

Something about the sheep in this picture makes me want to step into the scene and become one of Jesus's own. Last Sunday we learned about Jesus being our shepherd and your picture shows the idea perfectly. Stay close to Jesus, McLaren, and follow him always. Love you always, Grandma -- Grandma Maureen

I can almost hear these birds singing, McLaren. Is that a red berry hanging from the branch? Your attention to detail and shading is outstanding. -- Grandma

WOW!!! McLaren that is EXCELLENT! You are quite the artist. -- Mike

McLaren, I'd recognize you out of the group of portraits, I'm sure. I notice that you are learning to shade. I can't tell from the computer, but is this done using chalk? Pop-Pop and I were at a famous artist's museum when we were on vacation, and her early work was no better than yours! Congratulations, McLaren! Another great addition to your portfolio. -- Grandma

WOW McLaren another great one!!! -- Michael

McLaren, this piece of artwork really made me feel frozen! What an artist you are becoming. Can't wait to see this penguin when we are visiting. I sure hope all of your art is being put into a portfolio for a keepsake. When you are a grown artist all of these pieces will show how you got better & better with time. -- Grandma

Merry Christmas McLaren...love the Christmas tree...I heard you got a letter from Santa...that was exciting...see you Saturday (if you are home)... -- Michael

another great piece of art...love the eyes and the colors!!! -- Michael

McLaren, your Tutu and Grandpapa used to live in the Southwest. I bet they feel homesick when looking at this great desert scene. Wish I was there right now. -- Grandma Maureen

Wow! I am sure that we will see this snowman decorating your house when we come Christmas Eve. Make sure you show Aunt Amber your pieces so that she can see how you are growing as an artist. Love You. -- Grandma Maureen

Hi McLaren, I am really impressed by your black cat. It reminds me of a cat at midnight looking for a late night snack. Did you have Jedadia in mind? Love to get pictures of your artwork. -- Grandma Maureen

wonderful piece McLaren!!! Pop-Pop -- Michael

McLaren, please don't scare your daddy with your spider. He can't stand any spider, and this one is very realistic! Your artwork is fantastic. I always look forward to seeing your work on the internet. Love You. -- Grandma Maureen

McClaren, you did a truly outstanding job on your still life. I know you must have really worked hard because there's not a bit of white peeking through. Even the shading on the apples is perfect. How old are you? Love you, Girl, Grandma -- Maureen

WOW McLaren!!! I think this is your best ever! A still life with a little Picasso influence...great job! -- Michael

Wow! GG is here and is also blown away by all of your creative talent! This piece makes me feel like I'm in a prehistoric cave. How did you manage to create all of these figures, McLaren? It's so wonderful to have artists in our family. Hooray! -- Maureen

McLaren, I really like the patterns, the design and the colors...GREAT worrk. Pop-Pop -- Michael

Your lilacs are so realistic I can almost smell the wonderful fragrance. You chose the perfect colors for springtime, McLaren. -- Grandma

Excellent bunny, McLaren. You show that you are ready to be in the first grade art class already! Bunny's carrot looks good enough to eat. This is another piece of art to keep in your portfolio! -- Grandma

Oh my goodness, what a lifelike rooster you've made here, McLaren. I especially like his "comb" you created on his head. But, then I also think you did an excellent job on his eyes. What are you naming him? He has so much personality you must give him a name. When I see you next time, you must explain what pinch pot means. Loved seeing your other artwork on display this morning at school. Love You, Grandma -- Grandma

McLaren, you are really springing into quite an artist! These flowers look like they were fun to create. You will have to show me all of the different kinds of materials you used in your picture. -- Grandma

Love your warm bear, McLaren. Don't I wish I had a fun hat and scarf like you drew on your polar bear! -- Grandma

you keep producing better and better work...can't wait to see the next one -- Michael

This one could be exibited in a high end New York gallery! -- Pop-Pop

Fantastic! Some of your best work ever! Love the snow flakes. Pop-Pop -- Pop-Pop

McLaren...what wonderful shapes! Great work! Love, Pop Pop -- Michael

McLaren, you have made my favorite type of art. I can do this, too! What makes yours special is the colors you chose. What a great background to make your scissor work pop! -- Grandma

WOW McLaren! Your artwork keeps getting better. I can't wait to see the next one. Love, Pop Pop -- Michael

Honestly, McLaren, you are well on your way to learning about shapes and art at the same time! When I looked at your latest artwork I told Pop Pop that it looked like abstract shapes with a purse at the top. Then I scrolled down and read what your job was and Bingo! You were told to create abstract shapes. Well done and love you, Grandma -- Maureen

McLaren, you've got talent. Have your mom and dad started collecting your work for a show? You might be able to earn a little money for your piggy bank. Just a thought. Miss seeing you, McLaren. When we return I want to see your work in a portfolio. Ask mom to tell you what that is. Love, Grandma -- Maureen

I think this is your best effort so far...keep up the great work! -- Michael

This is proof that you are the finest artist in your entire class, McLaren! Mom and Dad are going to need to set up a studio for you like Payton has in her basement. After a while you can gather all of your art pieces and put them in a portfolio (ask Mom and Dad to explain). It will be a keepsake and you will be able to watch your talent grow and grow! -- Grandma Maureen

What a wonderful scarecrow you've created, McLaren. Love to see you grow as an artist. Happy Autumn! -- Grandma Maureen

McLaren, You are a busy student at school! No wonder you love going to St. Alban Roe. Will you collect all of your work this year and have a showing? -- Grandma

Aren't you a great doodlebug, Doodlebug? Pop-pop and I can't wait to see your Ladybug in person. -- Grandma

awesome depiction McLaren -- Michael
