Wow! Great techniques — looks like person “jumping out” of background. Much detail with eyeglasses, necklace and facial features, especially her eyes. The contrast of styles using “dots” for skin and a red-striped background. Blue and yellow create a contrasting “frame”. The “conversation bubble” fits “pop out art” technique. I also like Pandas. Wonderful artwork Elise. “Aunt” Sister Julie

What a happy look on Tigger’s face. It looks as if he’s ready to bounce off the page to join his friends, especially Winnie the Pooh. Very creative background. TTFN! Love you, “Aunt “ Sister Julie

Hey Elise Do you remember when we saw the Nutcracker at LCCC? Great job, my talented virtuoso. Love Grandpa
- James on March 6, 2021
How straight and tall your nutcracker stands. He’s at full attention ready to fulfill his duties. So happy he looks with a very colorful uniform. You produce wonderful art pieces. Congratulations and keep up the excellent work!
- Sister Julie on March 6, 2021
Elisa, What a very beautiful dream catcher. I especially like that smaller ones attached along with the feathers. Catching many happy dreams. The pleasant, pastel background highlights the colors and patterns of your dream catcher. The hearts add a loving touch. May you have only pleasant dreams.
- Sister Julie on February 14, 2021
?? WOW Elise!!!! I saw the star right away. How did you do that? Did you start with the star and then “checkerboard “ looking background? To me it seems that this art piece took much concentration to get the orange and blue colors in the right spaces. Congratulations on another well done art piece.
- Sister Julie on March 6, 2021
Hi Elise -- this is great! Love the Titans colors! Keep up the wonderful creativity! Love you, Grandma
- Susan on March 6, 2021
Hey Elise Love the "star" reminds me of the type of art where the image is imbedded in another image. Job well done! Your talents continue to abound! Love Grandpa
- James on March 6, 2021
Elise, I am amazed at how good your person looks. I usually resort to stick figures. Looks like summer with the trees green. I can't wait for that! Keep up the good work! Love, Gaga

- on December 13, 2019
Elise, a colorful tree frog. It seems to be looking right at me with a smile on its face. The water color wash, tree branch and leaves make for a beautiful setting. The tree frog definitely is holding the branch with its “suction cup” like toes. You didn’t miss any details. Congratulations on another artistic accomplishment! Sister Julie
- on December 13, 2019
Hey Elise - great job! I remember seeing Tree Frogs, but none as vibrant and colorful as yours. Just remember their feet were like velcro so they could stay on the branches - anyway - keep up the great work! Love you Grandpa
- on December 13, 2019
Wonderful Elise! You are beginning another school year of creativity. The colorful design background makes the pineapple “jump” right off the page. Did you use favorite colors — good choices and patterns. Love you!

Elise great choice of colors/shapes and design. Keep up the great work! Love Grandpa

Well done Elise! Your hot air balloon is so colorful and well decorated . Is that you riding in the basket high up in the fluffy white clouds? Do you DREAM of someday riding in a hot air balloon? It’s great to have dreams, even if they don’t come true the way we would like. Dreams are our imagination at work and many great things come from dreams! -- Sister Julie
- on June 2, 2019
Elise - this is great - love the girl with the dark hair in the balloon basket - you? And the color choice for the balloon so good - along with the deatil on the basket and "dream" next to the balloon. You've done a very "uplifting " job! Keep up the good work! Love Grandpa
- on June 2, 2019
This is a great picture Elise. I can just imagine the thoughts of the iguana looking at the butterfly and thinking "dinner!" Love you, Grandma

Elise this is fantastic! You look wonderful flying in that balloon. Just looking at your picture I wish I was in that balloon with you soaring high over all the trees and in the clouds! Keep up the great work, Love you, Grandma
- on June 2, 2019
Hey Elise - I thought of the 'Cheetos' commercial where they say, I don't see it! then take a trip to the jungle, see one on a tree branch, and go - OH - now I see it! Well, I saw it right away! Looks like the butterfly is going to be his lunch! Fantastic job! Keep up the great work! Love Grandpa
- on June 2, 2019
What an extremely colorful chameleon. I also like the butterfly. Your chameleon wasn’t going to eat it! Hopefully the butterfly can fly quicker than the chameleon’s tongue. Such wonderful details of the buds on the branch. The little curl of the chameleon’s tail is so realistic. The nice touch of the black and white borders added great contrast for a very colorful art piece. Keep up the fine artistic creations Elise! -- Sister Julie
- on June 2, 2019
Good morning Elise! Great gumball machine - it makes me want to put a quarter into it to get a gumball! Keep up the wonderful work! Love you, Grandma
- on March 25, 2019
Elise, your gumball machine looks so real. It reminds me of the one in your Grandfather's office where you get M & M. Your use of color, light reflection and gumball coming out at the bottom are wonderful. The background and color of the table accents the gumball machine. The cost of 25 cents is certainly more than we paid to get a gumball from the machine when we were growing up. Congratulations on another wonderful art piece! -- Sister Julie
- on March 25, 2019
Saw your artwork today (Sunday). You are very creative! I love the blue and green striped background. Makes me want a gumball!! -- Gaga

Looks so yummy!! sparkles, sprinkles and cherries makes me think that the frosting is light and fluffy. The colors and detail of the cupcake paper and background emphasize the gorgeous cupcake. How about serving it with a cold glass of milk? -- Sister Julie
- on February 3, 2018
