This is very special to me Ava. This was Grandpa’s pride and joy and he had several corvettes. Do you remember the day we drove to HyVee and the gentleman who parked next to us had bought the very same car the day after it was on the market!

Thank you for this gift to us all, Ava!

This turned out so awesome! Grandpa would be so happy! You worked really hard on it and it looks perfect! ?

I know that person!!! Very nice work!

I love this picture Ava. It shows your pensive, serious side. You are deep in thought. I do wish I knew what you were reflecting on.

I know the assignment was to be moody, but I like your smile much better!

AM AZING! The arms on this woman attracted me first! The whole painting attracts me. You do get better with each painting. Congratulations, Ava.

Ava, I love this picture! This is a very contemplative look. You have captured yourself beautifully.

Is this a self portrait? Excellent work!

Ava, I loved your latest artwork. In fact, I ordered a shirt with the scene printed on the front and I’m anxiously awaiting it to come in the mail. Keep up the good work you’re doing such wonderful things.

Ava, I love your latest artwork- so much so that I ordered a shirt with it printed on the front! I am anxiously awaiting it to come. You are doing such a nice job. Keep up the wonderful work.

Wow,Ava! How do you keep getting better and better? I love this piece.

I like the depth in this piece. Excellent work!

Impressive! I don’t recall you doing a person previously??? Keep up the great work!

This new painting looks like something from the 14-15th Century. Especially the town in the background. Love the belly and how un-belly like it is. Great job!

A very challenging piece. Congratulations on your hard work.

What an amazing piece! I know you worked very hard on it!

Ava, this was quite an ambitious project! Congratulations.

Another excellent job!

I love Three Owl Farm--the shading is beautiful and the placement of the image on the paper is wonderful. And congratulations on the recognition by the New York Times. You are so talented, Ava, and we are all proud of you. Keep moving forward, Love Andy

Beautiful!!!! Love your posts!

Impressive! Looking at this beautiful piece brings on a feeling of calmness. You are very talented. Keep up the great work!

Love the tennis shoes! When are you going to wear these cuties?

Another interesting artwork which is done with pencil. I see a young girl looking at a book and then seeing a girl and a teddy bear in a fantasy tale. Is that a butterfly? Well done.

I like your new artwork!

This is so interesting. I am recognizing different objects in it. I love the vibrant colors. I know it was an intricate process to create.

Ava, I really like this and I’m intrigued with the process of creating it. I am seeing various objects in the picture. So fun and fun colors too.

Ava, I really love this picture! It must have taken a lot of work to complete. I especially love all the colors.Your imagination could create a very interesting story around the figures pictured.

This is an interesting picture. The hand would be very difficult to draw. Congratulations.

The braiding is very intricate and delicate!
