Sam, your recent art project “tool“ is most interesting. I’m trying to figure out what technique you used. It looks as though the hammer is elevated, like a 3-D effect. The colors are so vivid and your rendering of a simple object is super cool! The next time I pick up my hammer, I will remember your interpretation of this tool! Great job! Love, Grandma Karen

Sam, I love this picture. I am going to get a copy of this for my house. I love the cool colors and the interesting way you made the hammer almost seem that it is floating in the air. I bet it took a lot of work ? I know that you work very diligently and the results show it. Great Job !!

Sam, What a vibrant painting of these fall leaves! I am impressed with the techniques you used to make the brilliant colors of the leaves stand out from the more subtle color of the background. You have made the majesty of fall come alive in this artistic work! Love, Grammy

Sam, you always impress me with your beautiful artwork, and this watercolor piece is no exception. What struck me most was the intensity of the colors and the “movement” of the piece. The focal point to me was the center and everything (the leaves) radiated outward. It was like a fireworks display with a brilliant burst of orange in a radiant blue sky! Great work, Sam! Love, Grandma Karen

Sam... I love this artwork? When I look at it, it reminds me of Superman, which is what i think of you! I can tell that you took a lot of time to make the "S" similar to the border. Well done! Keep up the great work. love grandpa

I always love getting updates on your Artwork Sam. I'm drinking out of my teddy bear mug as I write this. Maybe when I visit you can make one of these for me with an M. Love, Uncle Mark

Sam, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy this work. It looks 3 dimensional.. I bet it was a lot of work to do that? I love the way you put the colors together and the way they all blend together. The stalk looks especially real. I like the fact that this picture is different form other pictures you have done. You did a great job. Love grandpa

Sam, you have created another fabulous picture. You really have a talent . I love the scene you have created. This lonely tree, sitting in some field with the wind swirling and the moon shining above... I can almost feel like i am there in that scene looking at that tree. Great job. I just love it. i am sure that it was a lot of work for you to do this and it certainly shows. Keep up the excellent work. love grandpa

Hi Sam, This pumpkin has such depth that separates it from the floor and wall! It looks so lifelike! You have created a really cool 3-D effect! Great job! Love, Grammy

Sam, Such a lovely autumn picture! I love the vibrant colors. The bright orange of the pumpkins, the deep green grass and the brilliant blue sky create such an inviting scene. Hope you enjoyed making this as much as I enjoy looking at it! Love, Grammy
-- Linda

Sam, I love your beautiful picture of pumpkins. I am sure it took you a long time to do this. I especially like the way you shaded the pumpkins , which makes them look even more real. Also, the detail in the sticks under the pumpkins, was well done. Is this going to be another work of art that travels the country? keep up the good work. Love grandpa.
-- Jim

Sam, this painting really caught my eye! First, I noticed that bright orange of the three different-sized pumpkins. My eye then was drawn downward to the green grass and straw. Lastly, I looked upward to that brilliant blue sky. What impressed me was that the painting was definitely divided into three areas, yet all of them were combined to make a beautiful fall harvest scene! Well done!

Sam, those apples look so realistic that I want a bite of one of them! You have used many different shapes in this piece, like ovals, circles, and geometric angles. The colors are also a very interesting mix of shades and densities. Great job! Love, Grandma Karen
-- Karen

Sam, I am so impressed with the many elements on which you needed to focus to make this picture look so realistic. Using colored pencils to create the detail on the apples and the watercolors for the muted colors on the table made an inviting picture. You have real artistic flair! Love, Grammy
-- Linda

Sam, what a great job you did with this picture!The apples look so real that I am going to get one from our refrigerator right now and have a great snack. I love the realistic way you painted the apples, with the shading and perfect colors. I can tell that you put a effort into this picture, which is not surprising . Great job. Keep up the excellent work. Love Grandpa

Wow, Sam, your new piece of artwork is a "riot" of color. The fun of abstract art is that you really don't know what the piece represents. When I first looked at it, it reminded me of an eye, but today it looks like it might be a seed in a pod ready to burst and start growing! Maybe tomorrow I will see something else in it! It is fun to look at, so keep up the good work! Love, Grandma Karen
-- Karen

Hi Sam, It's amazing how you have used various shapes, of different sizes and colors,to create this abstract art work. The fun thing about abstract works is that the viewer can use her imagination to interpret what she sees. The first thing that I saw (at the top of the picture) was the head of a pelican or toucan with his long bill! Perhaps when I look at it another time I will see something quite different. This is an awesome creation by Sam! Love, Grammy
-- Linda

Hi Sam- I am so impressed with all the steps that you needed to think about and accomplish in order to create such a realistic picture of apples. It must be amazing to see your work become increasingly lifelike as each step is completed. I love the vivid colors that you used- the deep red of the apples against the bright blue plate. Way to go!! Love, Grammy
-- Linda

Sam, I love this beautiful picture of a plate of apples . They look so realistic . I especially like the way you did the shading that make the apples look like they are right in front of me. In fact, I might just eat one. I can tell that you put a lot of effort in this picture , as you do with everything you do. Keep up the excellent work ! Love grandpa.
-- Jim

Sam, what a beautiful piece of artwork you have done this time! You have used some vibrant colors, like the blue and the orange. It gives me the sense that I am floating and carefree! Love, Grandma Karen
-- Karen

Sam, this is a beautiful picture. I can see how much thought you put into it. I love the colorful butterflies . it makes me thing of summer. I also love the bright orange sky that you added. You are very creative. I know you are working very hard in school , just as you do with everything you do! Keep up the great work. Grandpa
-- Jim

Sam, When I look at the face of the bear you have created I am immediately drawn to his eyes. They seem to be so focused on something that has drawn his complete attention. I find myself wondering what that could be. You have created wonder-I think that's what great artists do!!!!! Love, Grammy
-- Linda

Very impressive Sam! Six years old and already famous.

Hi Sam- It must have been exciting to look at the cottonwood branch, create it in your mind, and then see it appear on the paper! Using the layers of different shades of color makes the sky seem so realistic! In the deep blue of the sky and the bright orange of the leaves you have designed a work of beauty! Love, Grammy
-- Linda

Sam, you have a great talent for placing bright colors next to one another. The dark and brilliant blue in the background highlight the bright orange leaves. This is evidence that you are a budding artist! Love, Grandma Karen
-- Karen

Wow, Sam, you have created in eye-popping piece of art! The colors are so brilliant that I found myself going from the cool blues, greens, and purples to the brilliant red's, oranges, and yellows. Then, the big surprise is the smattering of silver within the heart. This is really a beautiful art piece. Isn't art fun? Keep up the good work! Love, Grandma Karen
-- Karen

Sam, I just noticed this artwork. What a terrific job you did on the vase and the beautiful flowers. I love daisies and you did a great job painting them. Maybe you can explain to me the next time I see you, how you did this. Keep up the good work. Love Grandpa
-- Grandpa

Sam, what a beautiful work of art!! i especially like the decoration inside the heart.. It looks like you worked really hard on it. Keep up the excellent work. Love Grandpa.
-- Grandpa

Sam- You did a terrific job creating a warm heart with orange, red, and hot pink colors! And using glitter you make it sparkle! Your warm heart really stands out against the cool blue, purple, and lime green background! It is a perfect heart created by a warm hearted boy!!!! Love, Grammy

Dear Sam, I absolutely LOVE your snowman. He looks so excited with his arms stretched high into the sky. He must be so glad to see the snowflakes falling and to know that he won't be melting away soon! Also, the bright red scarf that you have tied around his neck, puts him into the Christmas spirit! I am looking forward to seeing more of your creative artwork. Love, Grammy
-- Linda

Sam - it looks like you are becoming quite the artist. I'm very impressed. You'll have to paint me a picture when I see you at Christmas. Love, Uncle Mark
-- Uncle Mark

Hi Sam! I loved your winter snowman artwork. The colors are especially beautiful. You did a great job with the fluffy white snowflakes, the bright blue sky, the intense black hat and arms, and the fiery red scarf! You are a budding artist! Love, Grandma Karen
-- Karen
