Preston, I love how you wrote 13 in binary. Very creative!

This is so pretty! I love it!!

Love the pumpkins with the sky in the background, Peanut! Well-done!!

Preston, I love this picture of pumpkins about to fall into a whirlpool. It must have taken a long time to draw all those little ripples of water. I would like to point out that pumpkins do not carry leaves near their stems like an apple would. Pumpkin leaves are also very large and these leaves are tiny.

Dear son, If I were a bee I would pick your flowers to visit. They are really nice. I like the 3d effect around the petals. The little streaks of white on the green petals make the petals look like they are curved instead of flat.

Preston! What are they teaching you in school! I told you there will be no blending of colors! There are only like 8 colors... and to review they are black, white, and the 6 (SIX!!!) colors of the rainbow.. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. There is no indigo, there is no violet and mixing of colors is inexcusable. Mixing colors leads to so many problems in our world... like taking hours to pick out paint for a bedroom or picking just the right tie to go with your suit. All of these problems can be avoided by sticking with the 8 approved colors of the universe. All major sports teams use these 8 colors and if you can tell them apart that is all you need to get through life.

Preston5162, I love these rulers with hands like people! The personification of rulers is something I think has been highly neglected in art these days. During the classical ages, this sort of thing was common place. I like how you went with the imperial units. Way to go! We will never submit to a stupid base 100 system! Inches should always be divided by 8ths and there should always be 12 inches to a foot and 3 feet to a yard... now that's how you measure stuff! If we change to some stupid system where everything can be subdivided into 100ths, then every idiot with half a brain cell will go around thinking they are smart enough to measure things. Love this!

I got nothing Preston. You know, if you want me to continue to come up with these hilariously funny art reviews, you gotta give me something to work with. This is a nice picture and all, but there isn't anything here I can leverage into witty humor. Maybe the ears inside his ears... nah. The double part? I guess people do that these days. It's just a very nice picture of a head mounted on top of pedestal, there isn't really much else I can say. -- David

I really like how the artist depicts a biological representation of love. The image depicts a multi-cellular organism with a clearly pronounced cellular membrane and multiple heart shape vacuole . The nucleus of cells composing the capsule give clear indication of the biological nature of the image. The colorful and lively background reminds us that life and love does not exist in a dull and dreary universe, but that our love exists against a backdrop of vast beauty. We were loved before we were created. We know love because we experience love in the handiwork of the universe around us. We love Him because He first loved us. -- David

Beautiful work, keep it up -- Grandma S

At first the artist appears to have taken a step backwards in his trend towards more and more talented offerings. The brushwork appears lazy and the choice of colors seems to fall short of making a making a bold statement. The viewers eyes wonder looking for meaning in this seemingly dull piece. However, the first clue to the artists brilliance comes upon realizing that the solitary spotted owl would never appear in groups. Only briefly for mating would 2 spotted owls be co-located. This is when we first see that this painting is actually a complex tribute to various mathematically interesting numbers. The most obvious is the prime number of main branches each containing a prime number of smaller branches. Counting all of the snow flakes gives us 163, the largest number for which its ring of integers is a unique factorization domain. No doubt the artist is pulling in things he is learning in his math class. No less than 3 other mathematical Easter Egg's exist in this painting. Can you find them all? -- David

This well established artist has bowed his paintbrush in tribute to the king of humanists in his latest work. The slightly obese man representing gluttony and secular hedonism is portrayed in amazing detail. The viewer is immediately drawn to the eyes which are closed in a display of self absorption. He pats his belly in indication of his satiated nature. His outfit is the ultimate display of comfort and everything about him implies softness, comfort and ease. No painting has every captured the concept that pleasure or happiness is the sole or chief good in life as well as this. -- Dad

I've played Telestrations and Pictionary with this kid.... he did not paint this. -- David

Preston has moved in a bold new direction with his latest work portraying 3 poisonous darts embedded in the back of poison dart frog. The indignity of attacking a frog with darts made from its own bodily fluids makes a passionate plea to end the subjugation of the oppressed. The three darts standing erect, almost like trees, showing how the frog, though clearly in agonizing pain maintains his dignity against the onslaught of oppression. The frog looks away from the viewer into a hopeful blue sky as millions of people also continue to believe that a brighter future lies ahead. A truly moving and inspiring work of art. -- David

This deeply moving piece shows a trio of evergreen trees on a bleak and lifeless background. The trees, a traditional symbol the celebration of Christ, are left un-decorated by man but celebrated by God himself as his own creation attests to his greatness, a clear reference to Romans 1:20. The snow "flakes" are depicted as large balls so that when superimposed on the tree appear to be decorating it and the tree's themselves are alive with color through no effort of mankind. The painter likens his cultural surroundings to a lifeless landscape. Having grown up in a culture where Christmas is "celebrated" even in October, but the lives of the people fail to produce true worship, he points out that God is always exulted whether society chooses to participate or not. The title could very well be "A reflection on Luke 19:14". -- David

That is simply beautiful! -- Grandma Solt

Preston's latest work brings an aggressive and bold style to the artist's portfolio. His tempered and restrained use of color simultaneously commands the viewer's attention while also communicating the depth and passion of the subject. The larger left arm shows both the autobiographical nature of the work and also serves as the focal point of the work bringing the viewer into the competing strength and tenderness of the subject. The shoes pointed outward add to the balanced nature being portrayed through the dichotomous nature of the limbs. The strong masculine jaw line contrasts with the inviting smile that cries out, "I am strong but safe". Never before has the artist been able to capture such emotion as he makes a clear statement about the portrayal of masculinity in society. -- David

That is absolutely beautiful. Mee Mee -- Grandma Solt

Well orange you a great painter! That painting is de-vine! It would be fruitless to argue that any other painting is better. Sorry about all the puns, I'll leaf you alone now. -- Dad
