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!

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!

Posted 7 years ago by Mere
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?
Posted 7 years ago by mere
Wow! did you use a mirror?
Posted 7 years ago by mere
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

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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
Posted 9 years ago
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.

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

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

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.

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!
