Ellen1081's Comments (93)

Well this artwork is a fitting end to your Briarwood years. Go get ‘em, girl!

Ooooh, I love this! Very Andy Warhol. Is it RBG saying "what a drag!"

Is the "G" for Georgia or Grammy? Great combination of designs. We were able to transfer Grammy into the passenger seat of her car so "Driveway Visits" will soon be back on the schedule. Can't wait to visit Juniper Lane. Papa

I have a feeling you did this for Georgia, not yourself. It's very clever, I must say!

Ellen I have been pretty lazy lately about leaving comments for your great art work. This is yet another wonderful example of your talent. Your color wheel is another great piece,the symmetry of your shapes is perfect, and they look like I could reach out and pick one to see how it looks in my house. Thanks for all the wonderful art. Love you, Grammy

Ooooo! Let's make a needlepoint of this. It would make a great pillow for your room!

That big ole tree looks like it's reaching out for a hug! Love you, Ellen!

Hmmmm ... this is interesting. Not your typical winter landscape, more like one from a sci-fy movie, but I like it!

Love this, Ellen. Those ornaments positively GLOW!

I got my eye on you! Is this the eye of an exotic tropical bird or a human?

Very cooool, Ellen. Looks likes the center is bulging because of the way you shaded the spaces.

Ellen these shoes are a perfect fit. The detail is so real and they look like they would sell In a very expensive store. Your talent amazes me and I think Nike should talk to you about designing a new shoe that girls your age would wear. Love you Grammy

Ellen -- very interesting. You will need to teach me more about this as I have NO understanding of any real art theories. I just love to look at it all and decide if I like or not!

Ellen -- you were right! This is SUPER COOL!

Simple,honest,should win the prize. Love it grammy

I hope there's a contest to pick a winner because this is it!

Could you cut me a slice of that cake please. Ellen this really is a wonderful dimensional(3D) depiction of a wedge(slice)of cake. Looks good enough to eat. Love Grammy

Oh, yummy, Ellen! Not only does this look delicious, the perspective is PERFECT! I could NEVER do this!

Wow oh wow would that ever look nice in a ring? A really big ring. Really nice dimension and depth to this gemstone. Good work Ellen.

Ooooh, Ells! This is so pretty! ?? This is worth saving.

Oh, I get it! Everyone at Briarwood is doing a winter snowscape. I hope they all go together at some point. Veddy nice!

Wow, Ellen! This shows a lot of artistic creativity and hard work. How long did you work on the weaving? It is beautifully done!

This is so cool. It reminds me of the last piece with the mirror images of your name. Did you work on them at the same time?

Wow! did you use a mirror?

Wow Ellen this is really time consuming art work, very impressive that you figured a way to incorporate your name into the design. I love it Grammy

Just lovely, Ellen. I wish I could draw a face, any face, as good as you!

Ellen that is absolutely beautiful. Not sure if you are a better artist or a better musician. What I'm happiest about is that your my granddaughter!!!! See you soon. Papa
-- Papa

Love, love, love this scene with trees, moonlite, darkness Illuminating the trees with snowflakes good enough to be a Xmas card. What a great way for me to start winter/ holiday. Love ya Grammy
-- Ann

Just lovely, Ellen!
-- Mere

Wow Ellen those leaves look amazing. They have such great fall color shading, and the way they are kind of tossed around it looks dimensionally like it might be a windy day, and the mix of different sizes of leaves is great. Wish I had that much color in The leaves at my house. Love Grammy
-- Ann

Ellen - I LOVE this piece of art! It looks like the sunsets i love to photograph. This one needs to go on your art wall at home!
-- Betsy

oooooo spooky, spooky for Halloween! Love this!
-- Mere

Wow Ellen your name is up in lights just like it should be!! Great colors and the black in such stark contrast. Way to go girl, love ya, Grammy
-- Ann

Blackout Ellen! I love this abstract representation of your name!
-- Mere

Up up and Away we go hope there is room for all of us to fly high above the sky. Another year of great art work, Ellen, so sad to see the year end!!
-- Ann

This is RAD Ellen! Love your color choices and your design instincts.
-- Mere

Stretching into the hardest art of all -- portraits! Wonderful!
-- Mere

Wow Ellen this is absolutely amazing. Your facial details are so realistic,I am sure President Eisenhower would be very proud of this picture. Grammy
-- Ann

A budding Picasso!
-- Mere

I spy Betsy & Patrick! You must have been thinking of their wedding when you designed this cake. Happy 1st Anniversary!
-- Mere

A beautiful view of the universe, Ellen! Inspired by the summer eclipse adventure?
-- Caroline

that looks like a pumpkin spice latte ice cream tower to me! Yummy! And just in time for Thanksgiving ....
-- Mere

Ellen --- I looooove the perspective in this picture. Great work!
-- Caroline

Ellen - I love this painting! The gradient of colors in the sky are pretty and the birch trees really pop off the page. Great work!
-- Betsy

THAT is an ice cream cone!!! And you know how much Papa loves ice cream. Sorry you felt bad but yesterday but it was fun to have you with us. Still keep watching your ukele performance--fantastic!! Papa
-- Papa

Wow Ellen your colors are fabulous looks Like a trip thru the Flint Hills perhaps a few hills some beautiful farm land, and the promise of a great harvest to store in the barn. Love ya Grammy
-- Ann

Ellen --- I see this is a "name" collage. Can you do one of these for me the next time to spend the night?
-- Caroline

Here's what I see: a farm with all kinds of crops, some harvested, some not and some wheat waving in the wind on the horizon. Beautful!
-- Mere

Wow --- you have a beautiful name! At first I just saw your middle name, one that is very important to me because we share it. Then your other names started to pop. This can be your preppy monogram.
-- Mere

Ooooo, Ellen! This will be a great reminder of the BIG ECLIPSE event this year! I can see shells and leaves in your shadows. A very natural way to celebrate something so special.
-- Mere

Ellen --- as I look at all the artwork that has been posted on Artsonia, I am struck with the similarity of your color choices over time. I wonder if you would say these are your "favorite" colors and if that stays with you over the years. Something to think about .... Your butterfly is beeeeeuuuuutiful!
-- Mere

Ellen --- I'm excited to hear about the challenges you faced making this picture. It is a lovely representation of spring. Perhaps you can tell me about it at a sleepover this week or next.
-- Mere

Ellen --- this is wonderful. I love your color choices and it is easy to see that Jim Dine was your inspiration!
-- Mere

Ellen did you know that Matisse is one of aunt Christina's favorite artists? I don't always appreciate his art, but yours is a lovely interpretation, and one that I understand and appreciate very much. Keep up the creative work, maybe someday you will be a famous enough artist also!! Grammy
-- Ann

Ellen --- I Loooove this! Matisse is one of my favorite artists, and now you and your little panda can join in the fun and appreciation for his talent. Did you know that he was blind much of his later life? That is when he began to cut paper and create collages that he glued together. There is always a way to make beautiful art ... even if you don't see very well.
-- Mere

What a sassy stocking cap! Where can I get one?
-- Mere

Ellen this looks like such a peaceful relaxing forest scene, like a vanishing forest actually, with the trees getting ever so much smaller, vanishing into the snow, a Christmas wonderland! Love it, Grammy
-- Ann

Very impressive Ellen. These are concepts I have NEVER understood!
-- Mere

Ellen --- was this inspired by the giant squid in the Natural History Museum in WDC?
-- Mere

Ellen --- your sense of perspective is very well done here. I am not sure that I could do any better myself. Remember ... I can only draw a fluffy dog!
-- Mere

Ellen --- I love your color choices! This is "radiantly" beautiful!
-- Mere

Ellen --- you are our own budding Monet! Ask your teacher to show you some of his waterlily paintings, see the way he painted the reflection of the sky in the pond with the lily pads. Clouds floating on the water, just like your buildings floating on the lake below. Beautiful!
-- Mere

Good morning Miss Ellen, I was so excited to get home and find this lovely art project waiting for me. What a wonderful job you did with the colors and the reflection of the buildings. Really glad to see this new project, and I look forward to more beautiful projects. Love you Grammy
-- Ann

Ellen --- this looks like a patchwork quilt turtle! I like your color choices. You know who else would like this? Aunt Betsy's friend Jillie, who makes so many quilts.
-- Mere

Perfect for spring! Do I see a place for a gnome home at the bottom?
-- Mere

Love your color choices, Ellen! So bright and springy!
-- Mere

Yay! This looks just like the first day of spring! Beautiful, beautiful!
-- Mere

Ellen! I love this new painting - it looks exactly like the pretty sunsets and sunrises I like to photograph. Way to go! Aunt Betsy
-- Betsy

Very pretty, Ellen! I love the strong outlines. You have captured the shapes of each fruit very well. Did you draw/paint from real life --- I mean was there a real bowl of fruit for you to try to paint or did you make this one up in your creative little mind?
-- Mere

Oooooooh! I love this! Sooo colorful and vibrant. Good work!
-- Mere

What you lookin' at!!!????
-- Papa

Ellen. Papa loves your artwork. What a cool owl!!
-- Papa

Wow what a wAyto start the New YeR with such a bright And happy looking owl. Love the eyes and the colors are very creative. Can't wait to talk to you about the picture. Love Grammy
-- Ann

Ellen --- love this "sneaky" owl! He looks like he's checking to see who is checking up on him.
-- Mere

Ellen --- which is prettier? This house or the one you made at Daisys? I know you will pick the one you can eat, but I really like this one.
-- Mere

Ellen I love your gingerbread house. I hope it starts to snow soon so Papa can come and snow blow your driveway!!
-- Papa

Ellen! I love this new piece so much. Do you think we'll get snow soon so your house looks like this, too? Maybe snow will come closer to Christmas! Love, Aunt Betsy
-- Betsy

Brrrr! It's getting wintery, closer to your birthday tomorrow. Do you have mittens as pretty as these to wear to school on your birthday?
-- Mere

Papa has been to the gardens where Monet did his painting. Your picture looks just like it!!
-- Papa

Ellen the colors in your piece remind me of our visit to Giverny and Monets house and gardens. The day we were there it was raining, but the colors were so vivid and magical just like your drawing. You have a very special talent young lady, I hope you always enjoy creating such lovely pieces. Love you Grammy
-- Ann

OH my goodness Ellen I think this is my favorite piece so far,(if I liked cats better I would say my favorite is the cat). The colors are bright and very appealing, I think I would like the blue one please!!!love all your work, Grammy
-- Ann

Ellen --- this reminds me of "nourishment" time at Waldemar. You will have to ask your mom and Aunt Betsy what this means, but so far, this is my favorite of your masterpieces!
-- Caroline

Ellen, those popsicles look DELICIOUS!!! Can't wait to taste one!!
-- {a[a

Ellen --- I used Google to see the inspiration for your kitty by looking up Paul Klee Cat and Bird. You did a great job of placing the bird so we can see that your kitty is hungry and thinking about dinner. I also love your color and pattern choices. I imagine that a wall full of these hungry cats would be a scary Halloween sight!
-- Caroline

Wow Ellen that cupcake really wins the prize for color and design. I think I would like to reach out and take a big bite. Maybe this is the one we should frame? What do you think? Love Grammy
-- Ann

Yummy, yummy! Let's make some cupcakes just like this sometime soon!
-- Caroline

Ellen--- this is wonderful! Now you are into modern art. One day we will go to MOMA for a visit. Ask your mom what that is ....
-- Caroline

Ellen --- are these colorful mice little rodenty mice or those pesky mice that hang around computers? Either way, they're pretty cute and colorful, for sure!
-- Caroline

Another great painting Ellen ... ... Beautiful rainbow mice! Will any of them connect to my computer?
-- Rob

Ellen --- I sent you a postcard commenting on this masterpiece. I would be interested to know when it arrives! Love you --- Mere
-- Caroline

Ellen - This is awesome! I know you've always loved creating art ... I'd love to paint with you sometime.
-- Aunt Betsy

They look good enough to eat!!
-- Papa

Imagine how surprised, and thrilled I was to get a notice that you had an art project for us to look at, this is really such a bright, and colorful picture Ellen, It makes me want to reach out, grab the apple and take a big bite. Congratulations on your first art project, we can not wait to see what else you do this year. Love Grammy and Papa
