Hey, how did I miss this one? I love this. Looks like the cover of a really fun book. Now you will have to write a story to go with it. Love you Marlena!

This is neat - a candy dish made out of pieces of candy and gumballs. How ever do you think of these creative ideas?!

Marlena, This is a very interesting bowl. I like it a lot. It reminds me of a bowl that Grand-ma Mary has only hers has a lid on it. You will have to ask her about it the next time you visit. Good work girl friend. Love, Grand-pa Steve.

Marlena, I think this is one of your most beautiful piece of art so far. I love the bright colors that were placed in the baloons. I was just curious if this was Toolio in the picture. If it is, then those must have been very large baloons in order to get him off the ground. Love you and love your work. Keep it up. Love you, Grand-pa.

Very interesting art work. It's really pretty. You’re going to have to explain to me how you did this. I love the way the leaves look silver. Talk to you soon. Love you, Grand-pa Steve

Marlena, the blending of colors here is wonderful. You are a talented artist. I love all the different leaves you chose; Gingo leaves, Pin Oak, Maples. So pretty. Love your color choices!

Ya know Marlena, when I first looked at this piece of art that you did, I thought it was a picture of your brother in a costume. But his eyes weren't quite right. Good job. Very Scary. Keep up the good work. Love, Grandpa Steve

Marlena. When I first looked at this piece of art, I couldn't figure out what this might be. And then it hit me. It's a cow in a large field. No. I'm just kidding. It's a big blue bird with a Christmas stocking, looking for somewhere to hang it. The only problem with this bird is that his beak is where one of his ears should be. I guess when he tweets, he tweets out of the side of his head. Go figure. Yes, I know what this piece of art is supposed to be and I think you did a wonderful job of it. Keep up the great work. Love, Grand-Pa Steve

Hi Marlena, This is definetly a Picasso! His eyes are on the wrong side of his head just like Pablo Picasso would have done. Your blending of colors is very pretty and the textured backround reminds me of some spaghetti stuck to your picture. Nice job! Looking forward to seeing more of your creations. Love you Bunches

Marlena, I have been looking at your piece of art for a long time, trying to think of something snappy to put in the comments. I cannot come up with anything to say other than I was very impressed with this piece of art. I stared at it and it took my thoughts to summer. I don't know why. You are going to have to explain to me how you did this. I think it is one of your best oopieces so far. Keep up the great work. Love, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

This looks like a book cover for a very funny story. Maybe "The Night the Giraffe Danced" or something funny like that. Your night sky is so pretty. The giraffes markings are so real looking too.
-- Grandma Mary

My favorite. This looks like hundreds of beautiful glittering jewels. I just love it!
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, I think it was a great idea to incorporate a story into your art work. Looking at your dancing giraffe I can almost hear the music that she is dancing too. I also can feel the night around the dance because of the way you did the dark sky, moon and field that the danced happened in. Great job. Grand-Pa Steve.
-- Steven

Oh Marlena, This has got to be your most spectacular piece of art, ever. I am very impressed with this. I hope this piece gets entered into your class contest. I'm sure it will win you a great prize. Keep up the good work. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena, At first I thought that we were going to play checkers, but then I read a little further and found out that this was one of your art projects. Very Nice job. I really like the colors in this project. The colors and paterns made me a little sleepy, so I took a nap. Thanks for sharing with me. Love, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

So tell me Marlena, Is this leaf bowl functional or decorative. I think this project was most interesting. I would like to try eating my cheerios out of this leaf bowl sometime. I don't think I would be able to use much milk. It looks like it was fun to create. Nice job. Grand-pa Steve.
-- Steven

This is so bright and pretty. It reminds me of a beautiful church window but I also see a pretty blue tulip surrounded by pink lights. Nice job! You are a wonderful artist.
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, These are the Happiest Snowflakes I have ever seen. It's true, not one of them is the same as the others. Beautiful!
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, As soon as I saw this piece of art, I wanted to get out my snow shovel. Also. I wanted to put on my boots and warm coat. Great job. I'm proud of your work. Love, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Love the Southwest feeling I get when looking at this turtle. It reminds me of Native American artwork done long ago on their tepee's or cave dwellings. Great job. Love you and keep up the great work
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, This is your best work yet. I love looking at your art work from school. I think this might be a turtle. I really think it's neat the way that every part of the turtle is done differently. I'm not sure how you accomplished this but it is wonderful. Keep up the good work. Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Hi Marlena! I am so excited to see your artwork again here on Artsonia. This one reminds me of a beautiful church window of stained glass. I like your selection of colors and the squiggly lines. Looking forward to seeing many more creations from you.
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, Good job. I was very impressed with this piece of art. I enjoyed trying to find different things mixed into your artwork. I found a butterfly. I found a dinosaur. I found a car. I found a fish. Just too name a few. Neat artwork. Keep up the good work. Grand-Pa.
-- Steven

Marlena, I'm very impressed with your artwork you have done. It is very colorful and graphic. I think you have learned a lot in your art class this year. Your progress is tremendous. Keep up the great work. How many more days until summer vacation? Not long now. Can't wait for next years art. Love you, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

I see a beautiful house hiding in all these colorful shapes. Very pretty!
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, This is one of your best pieces of art yet. It really, really reminds me of summer which is just around the corner. Love you Grend-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena I knew this was you the moment I saw it! Love you fancy hair style. Always remember; you are never fully dressed until you put on a smile. It completes whatever you are wearing. Love you!!!!!!
-- Grandma

Marlena, I knew this was a portrait of you as soon as I saw it. Now I know that your favorite place is at the beach. I'll bet your really looking forward to summer. I love you, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena, this looks just like you! The blanket will match your room perfectly. I like that your dream is making you happy. Beautiful smile!
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, Very nice job on this piece of art. I still cannot understand how a crayon walks a dog. You'll have to explain that to me the next time I see you. I really enjoyed seeing your choice of colors in the art work. Great job. Keep it up. Love you, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena, Well, whoever this guy is, he sure has a big mouth. What's all that blue stuff in his mouth. I better not talk too loud because I think with ears that big he might be able to hear me. Good job honey. Love Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena, This person looks like they are thinking Spring! Love the backround colors. They are so pretty. I love the expression on the face too. Great Job! Looks like this was a lot of work!
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, I can see that your paying attention in class. Your artwork is getting better and better all the time. I think this is a wonderful piece. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your next piece. Love you, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

This is great, Marlena! Your background is very cool too! Did you use watercolors for the background and pastels for the person? Very good work!
-- Aunt Jill

That is one beautiful and sparkly hat for a Snowman! The scarf is nicely coordinated too!. Another wonderful job Shugar! I hope you had lots of fun creating this Masterpiece. Love you, Grandma Mary
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, Who could this possibly be in this piece of art? Is it Santa? Is it one of the Reindeer? Is it Batman? No. I see it now. It's Frosty. Very nice job. I love his hat the most. Great job. Love, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Oh, My Marlena, How beautiful and very fitting for this time of year. Your trees (both far and near) are perfect. The colors are wonderful and do very much remind me of Thanksgiving. Thank you for sharing this piece of art work with me. Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

An Owl on a starry night. He is watching for his dinner. His feathers look real too. Marlena, you do beautiful art work.
-- Grandma Mary

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! Marlena, these trees are sooooo Pretty. You did a perfect job of mixing all the leaf colors to look just like Mother Nature did it. Love you, Grandma Mary
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, What a very nice reminder of our trip to the apple orchard. I like apples. The red one is my favorite. Your art work is getting better and better all the time. Keep up the good work. Love, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

It's Apple Pie time Marlena! Great job on cutting out those apples. Love the shading you did on that 1st apple with the green and yellow. Looks so real I'm tempted to take a bite. Very beautiful.
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, I had to have grandma explain this one to me. I think I get it now. Very interesting. Good job. Still Love you a lot, Grand-pa
-- Steven

Oh Marlena, How very scarry. Good work. Love you Grandpa Steve
-- Steven

How did I miss this one????!!!! Perfect for Halloween time. It reminds me of a Mummy Ninja Warrior!
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, This looks like a secret message or a homemade quilt! It is very bright and beautiful. Love all the colors you added. I can count 28 letters hidden in your picture. Is that correct or did I miss a few? Thank you for sharing your artwork with me.
-- Grandma Mary

Great work on this art project, Marlena! Love the bright colors. I didn't know that pastels were resistant to water color!!! Each time I look at this project, I see another letter hiding here or there...turned this way and that. I love it!
-- Auntie Jill

I knew nothing of Jasper Johns. Thank you for this this. Marlena - I love this artwork and will be sure to include it in the family art room up north in Michigan. - love you, Grandma Susie
-- Susan

Marlena, Your Grand-pa is so very proud of you. You have done a really great job this year with your art projects. I'm sure you have learned a lot of things about a lot of things. It sounds to me like your teacher has really been good at teaching you, not only about art but about a everything that goes along with your projects. Horray for your teacher and you both. This piece of art reminded me of a lot of things that I have done and experienced in my life. Thanks for reminding me. Love you very much, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Hurray for the Red, White and Blue. You need to add a flag pole to your flag art and wave it in a Memorial Day Parade. It will be the most unique flag there. Love how you layered your design for so much visual interest!
-- Grandma Mary

Dear Marlena, This is your best piece ever. Great and beautiful job. I am soooooo proud of you. You are really doing a great job with your art work. I love the way that every section of the caterpillar is a different design and color. Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena, Oh! How pretty. But. Ouch, I pricked my finger. How come they look so beautiful but are so dangerous? Nice job, kid. Keep up the great work All my love, Grand-pa Steven
-- Steven

What a pretty Cactus! It sure has a lot of prickers on it but it looks like there are some pretty flowers too. You choose beautiful colors for your cactus. Nice job Marlena!
-- Grandma Mary

That cactus has the perfect blend of beauty and picky. Great job!
-- Susan

Marlena, I'm not sure what this piece of art is supposed to be but there are a lot of colors involved in it. The next time you see me you will have to explain what this is supposed to represent. At first I thought it was a helicopter. Love You, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Dear Marlena, I could almost smell the beautiful flowers in your garden, and hear the bees buzzing. Is that Tooleo in the garden? You have everything in your garden, even butterflies and I see a bird, wind and sun. You did a great job on this piece of art. I really enjoy when I get to see one of your works on line. Keep up the wonderful job. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Grand-pa Steve

WOW!!!!! What a picture of Spring! I think you have a little of everything in this picture. I see Butterflies, Bees, Flowers, a dog, grass, wind, sunny skies and birds. Love your little doggie the most! Keep up the beautiful work Marlena. Love you
-- Grandma Mary

Well Marlena, Look at this creature. I had a dream the other night and I swear that this creature was in my dream. He had a ferocious growl and his eyes glowed green. Just like your guy here. You must have an inside line on my dreams lately. This is a terrific piece of art that you have created. I love it a lot. Keep up the wonderful work and keep sharing it with me. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Hi Marlena! Your artwork is amazing. I love how you gave this lion a curly mane. This reminds me of a mask for celebrating Chinese New Year or Halloween! Was it fun learning how to curl paper? Nice Job!
-- Grandma Mary

Oh Marlena, This piece of art is just in time. I needed a touch of spring to help me through my day. I am tired of winter. These flowers are going to help me remember that the warm weather is just around the corner. You did a great job on this artwork. Keep it up. I love you. Grand-Pa Steve.
-- Steven

Oh Marlena, I love this!!!!! It gives me hope that Spring is right around the corner. Your flowers are so bright and pretty. Just beautiful.
-- Grandma Mary

How beautiful! Like a breath of fresh air during an evening in spring.
-- Grandma Susie

Hi Marlena, Excellent piece of art work. This must have taken you a long time to complete. The first thing that I thought of was a bunch of eyes looking between pieces of candy. I SEE THEY ARE DELICIOUS. Good job. Keep up the nice work. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

OK Marlena, I'm thinking that this is a pinch pot that looks like a bowl of potatoes with beef along side and a ring of lettuce in a bowl for my supper. I don't know if that is what you had in mind but that's what it looks like to me. Now I'm hungry and have to go get something to eat. Keep up the good work. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Grandpa Steve

Hi Marlena! Your pot is beautiful. I bet you fingers were very tired after all of this pinching. Your bowl looks like dinner is ready! I think its corned beef and cabbage. Yum.
-- Grandma Mary

Love it! Especially the colors and design
-- Grandma

Beautiful mittens Marlena! I think they will keep your little fingers very warm.
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, These look a lot like the mittens I lost a couple of years ago. I think you did a great job on this piece of art. Good color choices also. You know what else these mittens remind me of? Some cookies that Grand-Ma Mary made earlier this year. The cookies had the same decorations on them with the swirlies and the stars and the pipeing. Good job Marlena. P.S. Have you seen my mittens?
-- Steven

Marlena, What a wonderful snowman. I think his top hat is just grand. Do you think it is magical? You know what they say about Frosty and his hat in the song. When he placed it on his head, he began to dance around. You did a great job on this piece of art. The snowman's smile looks a lot like your smile. I think he is cute. You keep up the good work. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Love, Love, Love your Snowman! Sponge painting is so much fun! You did a wonderful job Marlena!
-- Grandma Mary

Oh Marlena Honey, What a beautiful piece of art work you have created. I just love it. Now I really feel like it's Christmas Time. In my imagination I can almost see Santa Clause coming thru the trees, headed for your house with a sleigh full of presents, just for you. I think it is really neat that your snowflakes are so giant sized. Keep up the good work. See you on Saturday for Breakfast with Santa. Love you - Grand-Pa Steve.
-- Steven

Beautiful winter wonderland!
-- Grandma Susie

Well Marlena, My, my,my. What a very interesting piece of art. This must have taken a long time to complete. There is so much detail that I just don't know what to say. I don't think that your brother ever completed a piece of art with this much detail in it. Keep up the good work and listen to your teacher. I will talk to you soon. Love Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena, You have done another beautiful piece of art. Your colors are so pretty. So proud of you!
-- Grandma Mary

Happy Halloween Marlena, This reminded me of Halloween when your Mom was a little girl like you. We got our pumpkins all lined up and ready to be carved into Jack-O-Lanterns. We would eat dinner which was always spaghetti and meat balls. We would finish dinner and than carve our pumpkins and put them on the front porch, get our costumes on and go trick or treating than come home and count up our loot. Oh! the wonderful memories you have reminded me of this season. Thank you for the wonderful art. Keep up the great work, Love, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Your pumpkins are so cute! You did an awesome job!! -Mom
-- Andrea

3 little pumpkins sitting on a bench. The 1st one said "I can't wait for Halloween night. The 2nd one said "The night will give me a fright". The 3rd one said "It will all be all right!" Happy Halloween Marlena. Nice job on those pumpkins!
-- Grandma Mary

My NEW favorite Haloween picture??
-- Susan

What a beautiful owl! He looks quite comfortable on that branch with all the nice bark and branches. He has the most beautiful and colorful feathers.
-- Grandma Mary

Hey Marlena, This is one of my favorite birds. The owl. He only flies at night and he is very quiet. Except when he starts to sing his hooting song. I like the colors that you used to create your owl. I don't think I have ever seen one these colors. I like yours. Keep up the great work. I love you, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Love this wise looking owl who appears to know something that the rest of us do not! What could that be? Great job Marlena! Love it??
-- Susan

WOW!!! I love owls. The different colors textures in this pictures are AWESOME! I'd love a copy of this for my office!!! It would complement my collection of owls. Love you and miss you!
-- Auntie Jill

Thanks Marlena, Thank you for having this wonderful piece of art forwarded to me at home. I enjoy looking at your fine work all the time. I'm glad that you think about me while your creating these fine pieces of art. This one is especially nice because of the time of year it represents. Halloween! It's not really scary but it's nice because I don't think I have ever seen pumpkins this color. I think I have seen a green and orange pumpkin but not a pink and green one. The green one is Grand-Ma Mary's favorite color. She will be happy to see this light green pumpkin. I am going to forward this picture to Grand-Ma Mary's computer. I know she will like it a lot. Keep up the good work. Love you - Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

Every pumpkin is so special, it is hard to pick my favorite. Great picture!
-- Susan

Oh Marlena, This is a very beautiful piece of art. I just love it so much. It reminds me of Grand-Ma's garden. Your a good artist. Keep up the good work. Love, Grand-Pa Steve
-- Steven

How beautiful. It makes me smile!
-- Susan

What a happy robot! I think he is excited to see all of the fireworks. Nice job Marlena
-- Grandma Mary

Marlena, I was just so happy to receive your latest art work. I think you have done a great job creating this very square and rectangular creature. It reminds me of a robot. I just was wondering what he (or she) could be celebrating? It looks like there are fireworks all around him (or her). Excellent job. Keep up the good work. Love you, Grand-pa Steve
-- Steven

Marlena! Great work on your shape robot. Great use of color too! He seems like a happy robot. Did you think of a name for your robot? Love you! --Auntie Jill
-- Jill

Well Marlena, It's good to see your artwork on this site. I always saw Massimo's art and now I can see yours. I'm not sure what kind of monster this is but he is one of my favorite colors. When I opened this picture I got really scared but Grandma Mary calmed me down and told me it was just some of Marlena's artwork. You did a very good job on this piece. Keep up the good work. Love, Grand-Pa Steve

Wow, Marlena! This is a great monster. You did a great job with the mouth and the ears. I love the detail on the eyes. I can't wait to see more of your artwork this year!!! This looks like it took a lot of hard work and time. Good for you.
