Beautiful, Elise! You did have to do a lot of folding!

I agree with you that your self-portrait would be better without the mustache or eyebrows, but after looking at pictures of the Lorax, I can see why you did it. Good job with the shadowing on the face. This portrait highlights the grace and beauty that is yours.

Your technique and creativity is just getting better and better. Love this! Grandma B.

Wow, Elise! This is amazing! Your hard work and creativity shine in this project.

I think this would have been a difficult painting, trying to get the gradual feeling of falling backward, but you did it!

This looks 3-D, Elise. It's amazing how the curving of the stripes gives this effect. Nicely done!

I LOVE your creativity. This looks so realistic:)

Elise, this is really cool! (Or maybe I should say HOT!) I love the colors in the fire... they make it look like a real fire! The holes in the graham crackers are perfect!

What a fun project! Such detail! I love how coloful it is!

So colorful and fun!

Very colorful, Elise! It shows how much sports brighten your day. I'm looking forward to watching you play! Love you!

Everything is so perfectly symmetrical! Great job!

Elise, this looks like a lot of work! Good job with a black and white piece that uses contrast and shading to make it interesting. Can't wait to talk about this artwork with you tomorrow. ??

I also see the word, “reset” here. Resting is a great way to reset before waking! Nice!

Very interesting piece of artwork, Elise. It took awhile for me to figure out it was two separate words. ?? I see a conflict going on here...I want to rest, but I'm wide awake, or maybe just can't get comfortable. I've experienced that many times in the middle of the night. ??

I love this, Elise. It brings back good memories of our family trip to South Padre Island and my first and only Boba. I'm looking forward to having another with you sometime soon. The shading of your drink s so good... not a solid yellow, but varying intensities of color. And the straw looks so realistic because it looks as if it bends a little as the light hitting the water creates that effect in real life. Also, the yellow of the drink changes the color of the straw and you captured that. Good job!

Elise, you sure love your boba! I wonder what flavor this is? You always have such detail in your art—in this one, it’s the little ridging on the plastic cover. I’ll get you another boba soon. Love, Mom

Elise, I can see you have put a lot of thought into this piece of art. You are very innovative and creative. Your idea of recycling is a great one.

Awwww....Elise! This melts my heart. ? The harp looks so realistic... and you did such a good job with the details on the border. Love you forever and always.

Interesting art piece, Elise. The invader looks like a pumpkin, at a food market, no less. Very clever. ??

I really like the creativity you used in this artwork. You will have to tell me where some of these photos were taken. I think I have one figured out. ??

Oh, Elise, this is so cute! I love your colors and your perspective on this. I want to visit with you about some of the meaning behind this painting.

Good job with the minion, Elise. Looks like the real thing! Love you and miss you!

Your dragon is impressive!!

Elise, my mouth starts to water whenever I see a picture of your Milky Milkshake. Yummy! It looks sooooo good! Love you!

Very bold picture! I like it!

Elise, the steam rising above your cup creates such a warm feeling, especially on these cold winter days. I want to fix myself a cup of hot chocolate. And you know the cup is in some of my favorite colors.

I'm sooooo pleased with your love of music and your interest in the ukelele! The colors you choose are beautifully bright, and music brightens the world of so many people. I had fun looking for anyone musical symbols in your at. Great job!

I love the freckles! It's definitely a Foster characteristic! They look so cute on you!

You've used one of my favorite color combinations again. Love it! ?? It's hard to make things symmetrical, but you did a great job!
-- Grandma Burwell

Nice use of symmetry, Elise!
-- Mom

I love this fun picture. Your color combinations are some of my favorites. I think you enjoyed painting this.

Grrrrreat job, Elise! That is one good-looking lion!

Love your rainbow dog! You'll have to ask your mom to write a story about a rainbow dog and you can provide the pictures. :) Love you, Grandma Burwell
-- Linda

You should illustrate books!
-- Stefanie

Wouldn’t it be great to have a rainbow-colored dog? He looks so loveable!

Your painting is amazing! The shimmer and shading makes it look realistic. You are so talented!

Wow! Elise, that is beautiful! I love your color combinations!

Very pretty, Elise. I like all the bright colors.
-- Grandma Burwell

Good job, Elise!!!! I don't think I could draw that well. I showed this to our kindergarten teacher and she was pretty impressed! Keep up the good work!
-- Grandma Burwell

Very pretty, lots of colors!
