Wow, Mason, I could never do a portrait as well as you have done this one of you and your mom. Maybe you can teach me how to draw!

A Chinese dragon? Fabulous. Red is a great background for anything Chinese. It's considered good luck.

I like the richness of the colors. Makes me hungry.
-- Aunt Pat

This is another great drawing, Mason! You are such a good artist.
-- Love, Mimi

Is this a poppy field to remember the end of World War I? There's a huge poppy field memorial at Liberty Memorial. Maybe you and your dad can go there sometime. It's amazing--and this is, too. I love the tone of the reds with the greens. Very nice. You're really good at this.
-- Aunt Pat

Super. Another McQueeney Nutcracker!. I love the hair. So clever.
-- Aunt Pat

This reminds me of the great seal of Kansas. I really like the way you've incorporated the aqua from the feathers into the rays of the seal. And I like that the rays are divided by color; it makes them look like they are two-dimensional. You know what? As I look more at this now, the combo of the tan and the aqua almost makes this look like copper, which has a blue tint when air hits it. Very nice.
-- Aunt Pat

The background you created really makes this pumpkin pop, Mason. Nice use of the orange tones. So pretty.
-- Aunt Pat

Cool nutcracker collage! You really paid attention to the details didn't you!
-- Love, Mimi

Is this a native American shield? It is quite the collage, with your feathers and hieroglyphics. Very complex and beautiful.
-- Love, Mimi

Mason, this is soooo pretty. Have your mom get this one framed and you guys can put it up for a Halloween decoration! I still use a Christmas tree that your dad painted every year for a decoration. Have him tell you about it.
-- Love, Mimi

What an attitude this rabbit has. Love the background.
-- Aunt Pat

I like the combo of the chicken with the background. The critter looks pretty happy.
-- Aunt Pat

Now THIS is spooky. Chalk?
-- Aunt Pat

I REALLY like the combination of the warm colors in the pumpkins against the cool colors of the night sky. That's pretty much like it looks as Halloween nears.
-- Aunt Pat

Love the combo of purple and gray. Looks like you are working with triangles. Great idea! Makes him look like a machine.
-- Aunt Pat

Your pumpkins are so pretty! I can see shadows on them in the way you shaded them.
-- Love, Mimi

Mason-Another awesome masterpiece. You keep getting better and better. So proud of you.
-- Cynthia/Bud

Hmm--I like to knit owls, Mason, and I love these shades. (Isn't watercolor fun?!) I may just have to see what I can do with your art in yarn. The color are just terrific, and I love the way the eyes are angled.
-- Aunt Pat

This is great, and you know all about tooth fairies, don't you? This one looks a little bit like you!
-- Love, Mimi

Ah, I know what you were looking at when you painted this. Did your teacher show your Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh? He was a famous painter and that is a painting people love. Have your dad help you google the painting. You have done a great job creating your own. This is really nice.
-- Mary Pat

What fun! It reminds me of a crazy quilt. And what you did with the strips makes the valentine look like i'ts ready to pop out at us.

I love these colors together. I might make a pair of mittens with these colors.
-- Mary Pat

Neat textures here. I bet this was fun to make.

I love the detail of this gingerbread man, Mason, especially the buttons. The background is perfect for him, don't you think?
-- Aunt Pat

Wow, this one is really pretty, Mason.
-- Love, Mimi

I love that story, "Run, run as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" You are already pretty fast!

Love the faces, Mason. This pair would make great salt and pepper shakers.

Your people are so well-drawn, even included the glasses on your pilgrim! Great job.

Gobble, gobble, this one looks good enough to eat! I loved our lunch together.

Kansas Slim---so rewarding for you to be working on Native American Art. The blanket is very representative. Keep up the good work. Grumpy.
-- Rumpy

I like your choice of colors and shapes. Nice balance between the two.
-- Mary Pat

I may have already commented on this one, but I love the colors and think it would make a neat scarf.

Kansas Slim...think the Indian Corn is a winner...colors are vibrant and you remembered the "corn crown". Keep up the outstanding work. Grumpy.
-- Rumpy

You are a busy artist this week! Keep up the good work.
-- Love, Mimi

I'd love to make this into a scarf. Beautiful.
-- Mary Pat

I love this poppy. Your great grandmother knew a poem about poppies and why they are special for Nov. Ask your mom or dad to show you the poppies on the front page of my Facebook site.
-- Mary Pat

I think by the time you finish Kindergarten, your art skills will be way beyond mine. Keep up the good work Mason. I really like the center of this piece and the way you did the lines in white!
-- Dad.

Yet another masterpiece by Kansas Slim! Love the color contrast and the red/orange blend. Truly a work of art. Love you...Grumpy.

So very SPOOKY! I like the stars in the sky too! -Mommy

This guy is terrific for Halloween. What a good eye you havs for color. I love how one blends into the next. I'm guessing you used watercolor on crayon--right? Nice work!
-- Mary Pat

I love the owl picture. It stands out thanks to that nifty yellow frame against the green. What a perfect autumn pic!
-- Mary Pat

I think I know what I want to be for halloween!
-- dad

I bet that is what the owl in the tree that we keep hearing looks like. Silly backwards name Mason!!! -Dad.

Wow Slim...yet another masterpiece. This looks so, so good. Bless you. Grumpy.

This little piggy...Great job with the paint Mason!
-- Ryan

Mason, I love the orange pig. Looks like he is dancing. Maybe I could knit one. What do you think? Terrific work.
-- Mary Pat

Wow, I wish I could draw as well as you do! This would be a fun one for a coffee mug too. I am loving my self-portrait mug that arrived last week.
-- Mimi

Kansas Slim...yet another outstanding piece of work. And such detail...especially the curled tail. Exciting to watch as you build your collection. Keep up the work. Love you. Grumpy.
-- Grumpy

Love the Dancing Pig. Silly Curly tail like Hagrid did to Harry's cousin!! Great job painting!!
-- Dad

You worked hard with your scissors on this one didn't you? I see lots of cuts to make the yellow straw that Mr. Rooster is sitting on. Great job!
-- Mimi

That is one funky chicken!!!! Great work Mason!
-- Dad

Mason, is that chalk you used to give the paper texture? Whatever you marked with, it works. I especially like how the wing flaps on its own. Love the color combination! It's perfect for Autumn.
-- Mary Pat

Kansas Slim...outstanding Rooster! Ask your teacher to show you and your classmates the chicken dance. Love You...Grumpy.
-- Grumpy

Mason...what a Royal picture. Have to love this one...and for your Buddy Hosmer! God Bless. Grumpy.
-- Grumpy

Mason, this looks great! The background of the paper looks really neat! How did you create all the swirls of light blue on top of the royal blue?
-- Ryan

Very nice collage. That is a new word that means you have used different types of paper and shapes, and then put them together for your awesome picture. Keep up the good work!
-- Mimi

Mason, I love the idea of using the shiny gold to highlight our Royals. And I love the stitching on your baseball. Keep the art coming.
-- Mary Pat

Oh, Mason, I love the idea of being able to see your artwork this way. Keep them coming! This one is great. I love how you created the background and then overlaid the image. You could use that method with all sorts of things, couldn't you. Such a good idea.
-- Aunt Pat

Hey Mason...outstanding work! Know you are going to flourish in kindergarten. Love you...Grumpy.
-- Grumpy

Mason, I love your self-portrait. You are wearing a big smile, and it made me smile, too! Love, Bubbe

This is fantastic! Very advanced! We have an artist in our midst.
