My dear Ben : I'm always amazed at how talented you are! Love this piece on perspective. You did a beautiful job! Love, Grammy Cathy

Wow, Ben! We see the point perspective, the depth perception, and the NBA store ??!! So much effort and attention to details. Love, Grandpa and Mimi

Hey, Ben, You were talking about this piece of art at dinner tonight. There’s a lot going on in your creation. Your mind had to picture what to draw to represent both basketball and your name. The net, the lines, the ball and the drink tell a story. Love it!

Ben, That was a very creative way to spell your name. You are becoming a very good artist!

Grandpa and I are in awe of your talent, Ben! I wonder where the hearts landed...I hope you can frame some of your pieces! Love you and miss you! Mimi -- Mary Lee

Ben’s done it again! I love the colors and shapes -- Mimi

Love it Ben! -- Dad

Very interesting Ben. I sense a strong science fiction slant which is wonderful! -- Grandpa

Ben, you get better every year. Your artwork is beautiful! -- Grammy Cathy

This is AWESOME Ben!!! -- Tyson

Wow Ben! I’d not heard of Keith Haring! There’s a good documentary about his art and his life that I found. The colors are brilliant and the characters surreal. This is an artwork that inspires me to look closely and to find meaning for my life as evidenced by your work. Love, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Wow! That portrait looks a little like your Dad! Very impressive! -- Mary Lee

another masterpiece by Master Ben! I love the movement and colors! -- Mimi

Very unique shapes and colors -- Grandpa

I see the shading you created. -- Grandpa

Very cool -- Grandpa

That's very creative Ben! -- Grandpa

Wow Ben! This looks like 4 tunnels that we could push Grandpa into! You’ve done a few pieces of art that show depth and dimension. This must have taken time and patience on your part. Good stuff! -- Mary Lee

Very mesmerizing Ben. Nice work! -- Grandpa

Super cool Ben! Nice job. -- Tyson

Going into a black hole...I love the tunnel effect that you make with the black and red and the arches -- Mimi

Wow, that's a great piece of artwork Ben! -- Grandpa

Very cool 3D effect, Ben. I feel like I'm riding in a car going toward a tunnel. I love you, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Awesome stuff Ben! -- Tyson

Hey Ben, You have mastered what we used to call bubble letters. What fun! Love you, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Ben, I like how you continue to further develop your portrait skills. Love, Gram

These look like litmus test strips. Love, Mimi -- Mary Lee

So clever, Ben. It took me awhile to see the pattern you made with the colors. At first I looked at the individual letters to see the shading and pencil strokes. Then I noticed that the green letters marched down the page, then the orange, yellow, blue and red. Now I'm trying to see if you made a particular pattern with the shading...A is darker on the left side, B is darker on the bottom, C on the top, D on the bottom, E on the left side...beautifully artistic and mathematical. -- Mary Lee

Wow, Ben! I love the blue and green theme. The chair and part of the car reminds me of the 1960's. Love, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Creative collage! I miss you and love you! Love, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Dear Ben, Once again you have created a masterpiece! I'm curious about how you show distance/depth? The blue water appears to be moving. The black clouds behind the mountain are ominous. The white clouds in the sky balance the landscape by pulling my focus from the sky to the white on the water. So much to see in your painting. Bravo, artist Ben! Love, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Hi Ben, Cyrus thinks your painting is very beautiful. He likes the Christmas tree's decorations and the snow. Grandpa and I love seeing your art! Love, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Ben, Love this one. I am going to have notecards made!!! Love Gram B -- Barbara

Ben, Really enjoy your artwork!!!! Gram B. -- Barbara

Benjamin has such an eye for art and detail. His latest is just fantastic!! -- Pocky

Awesome stuff here! Frame worthy for sure. -- Tyson

Ben, This is incredible! Many children draw heads with arms and legs coming out of them. They're just learning how to draw. I see many details in this portrait. I see hair growing on the scalp. It's a short haircut. The eyes are toward the middle of the face where they belong. Many people draw the eyes higher up. The eyebrows seem to show that the person might be scared, worried, or thinking hard. Maybe the person just heard an unbelievably funny joke and they're about to burst out laughing. I see nostrils, a mouth, and ears. You are an artist!! -- Mimi

Very cool!!!! -- Pocky

Hi Ben, I see the 3 primary colors that you colored on the wheel: red, blue and yellow. I also see 3 secondary colors that come from mixing the primary colors: purple, green and orange. You made varying shades of the colors, too. It looks to me that you worked hard on this artwork. I smile when I look at it because I think of working on this and see your personality shine through. Grandpa and I are proud of you. Cyrus misses you. Love, Mimi -- Mary Lee

Nice work Ben! -- Tristan

Love the colors and the concept. Kudos to the art teacher for her ability to promote such wonderful creativity in a 5-year old student. -- Booshie

Grammy Cathy loves your artwork. It is very creative. I love you very much, my Benjamin. -- Catherine

Hi Ben, Cyrus is learning about shapes in school. Did you know that all the shapes that you colored are called two dimensional shapes? Some have corners and straight lines and some have curved lines. You chose many colors. We see that you mixed primary colors to make secondary colors. Your picture is beautiful!! Love, Mimi and Grandpa -- Mary Lee

Hi Ben, that's a pretty cool piece of art work. Do you have a name for it? If so what is it? -- Grandpa

Cyrus said he saw red, blue and yellow cars and trucks in the work of art I think of as "Traffic". It looks like you did a lot of cutting and gluing for this piece of art. The colored strips show dark shades and lighter shades of the same color. The monster face has some red in it's mouth and very long eyelashes. It's face looks furry from the way you made marks with the crayon, or is it colored pencil? This could be an illustration for a story. "Once upon a time, there was a creature who lived in a dark cave...All he wanted was to have one friend, but people were afraid of him. One day a little chipmunk saw the creature and didn't run away.... -- Mimi Mary Lee

Ben, Your art work is wonderful. Keep up the good coloring. Love, Grammy B

Ben, that looks like it would make a good mask for a monster movie. -- Grandpa

Ben, Grammy loves your monster face. It is perfect and just in time for Halloween. Love, Grammy B. -- Barbara
