Hi Ryan - what a great picture to recognize all the latest activities of NASA & the space exploration that is current. I loved how you did the shading to earth & moon look round & the colors of the starry sky & milky way are gorgeous. The details of the space rocket are amazing - and is that Mae waving from the window inside?? Great job!!

Ryan, your outer space drawing is fantastic. The colors are beautiful and the detail is so accurate. Great job!!

Hi Ryan - I really enjoyed reading your artist statement about your strawberry cake drawing. It did really take a lot of work to accomplish this and I know you had to plan carefully as you added each part & made it look just fresh & delicious!! Really good explanation - thank you!!

Oh yum! What a delicious looking cake sitting high atop a special cake plate and a cake made with so many layers...I'm betting there is chocolate between every layer!! and I wish I could just swipe my finger through the chocolate melting down the sides!! Great job!

Hi Ryan - what a great job you did drawing the Taj Mahal with all it's different structures & shapes and perspective...love the background colors which also give it more depth!! You are really doing excellent art!! Keep it up!!

Hi Ryan - What a treat to see how you created the Eiffel Tower with great colors in front of a 3-D like sky and all with many small dots - this is a really cool painting! I love your imagination & your artwork.

Ryan, good job on capturing the Eiffel Tower. It was on the top of this tower in 1999 that Grandma Linda and I became engaged.

Ryan, I have always loved geometry, and your artwork is a great example: concentric rings with squares radiating outward from a center mass. Good Job!

Your painting makes me feel as though I'm traveling through a dark forest and starry sky towards 'the light' ahead as the different shades of blue lead me along a path...what a great 'story' the painting tells. You are awesome, Ryan!

Whoa - that is one spooky painting of a scarey grim reaper and a very cool skeleton sneaking thru a forest made of different shades of black & white which makes it look like the forest is very deep and dark...and Halloween spooky! Great job!

A great picture-beautiful colors and shading. It looks three dimensional as well as Halloweeny. Great creation!

Hi Ryan - I'm looking at another beautiful leaf print you made. The colors are gorgeous and a wonderful combination - makes me feel like I could just pick up one of those turquoise leaves as they look as though they are just floating on top of purple paper - nice job!! love, gma

Ryan, this artwork can represent so many things. For me, I see fish swimming in a purple ocean. Nice job!

Hi Ryan - I loved seeing your gorgeous multi-colored print of Fall leaves. The colors really brought out the actual structures within the leaves and made for a beautiful print! Great job - I hope you will tell me how you made this!! I love it, Gma

The leaves are changing colors and beginning to fall just like you captured them in a your art. It makes me want to rake them into a big pile and let you jump in.

What a detailed and interesting project - a still life! I loved seeing your arrangement of toys in a basket - and the angry bird and hackeysack made me smile - really good job! I loved the little skateboard on the fabric above, too! Super neat painting, Ryan!

Hi Ryan - I enjoyed seeing and learning about how you constructed your rainbow sculpture. So many different shapes & designs and colors! It came out really cool...very clever sculpture! Your imagination at work!

Ryan, the colors are very nice and they contrast so well. I first thought these were a bunch of Christmas presents ready to go the tree!

Gorgeous pagoda is glowing with colors that just light it up. Just beautiful - has a 'happy glow' and the lines of a great artist's vision. Loved it!! Gma

Great job, Ryan. It looks like a real pagoda and the colors are beautiful.

Hi Ryan - what a wonderful drawing of a freshwater dolphin with it's tiny eyes and extra bump on it's head - as it splashes just above the water to take a peek at the rainforest above. Really well done & an interesting animal on our planet. Love, Gma

Ryan, you did great! The bone detail shows you know skeletons, and the proportions make it quite realistic. Fantastic!

Super scarey Poseidon skeleton carrying his trident...very well put together artwork for day of the dead!!! and I love the inside frame cut perfectly to capture him inside!! What fun to see your artwork...love, Gma

I feel like I am in a boat on the water with bubbles and fish and grass on the bottom. I hope I see the fish. Good job! -- Grandpa Gary

Very nice depiction of the Northern Lights. I really liked the water's reflection of the trees on land which is a "mirror image" and is difficult to capture. -- Grandpa Gary

Ryan - your aurora borealis artwork is just fantastic!! and I love the idea that you were painting to beautiful music to make such a beautiful painting... I can see the colors shimmering & feel the cold snowy water where the trees nightsky colors are reflected - what a great piece of art you have created! -- Linda -- Linda

Hi Ryan - what a wonderful 'gyotaku' print with a handsome goldfish and moving grasses and bubbles - like looking into an aquarium - just gorgeous!!! You are such an artist (and print maker!) -- Linda

Hey Ryan - that is one handsome treasure box & amazingly constructed - I'll never know how you managed to build the top lid as though it is just opening to reveal all that gold!! -- Linda

Amazing kente weaving - I love the contrast between warm and cool colors! Can't wait to see this at the art show this weekend :) -- Mom

Ryan - what a beautiful piece of artwork! I love the way you reflected the scene in the water and the aurora borealis looks amazing! We should go there sometime, don't you think? -- Mom

It looks like a real treasure chest and even contains money-Wow!! -- Grandpa Gary

Ryan, you did such a great job in depicting the Northern Lights and mountains, but replicating the shoreline and trees in a mirror image on the water was fantastic. -- Gary

Hi Ryan - what a beautiful kente weaving design you created with wonderful colors, both soft shades and bright triangles. You always create such beautiful art! -- Linda

Ryan, nice art work. I especially like the geometric design. This would be a great design for things like quilts and curtains. Good job!! -- Gary

Ryan, I love your art. The sky appears to be a gorgeous sunset and reminds of the many that I have seen camping. The darkened figures in the foreground are a great contrast. Great work!! -- Grandpa Gary

What a beautiful African sunset you portrayed with your dark silhouettes against the colorful sky...I bet the Lion King is just around the corner. Wonderful artwork, Ryan!! -- Grandma

Ryan, I am glad to see the big green Granny Smith apple-it is my favorite. Your basket of apples looks so real, I want to take a bite. -- Grandpa Gary

I will have to ask you how you made this print as it is the reverse of your previous print making art - although the shades of blue are a bit darker on this one. Somehow you were able to get all the beautiful line drawings transferred and it looks even sharper than before...I love the little faces (which I thought were happy bubbles??) -- Grandma

So wonderful to see the 'before' version of your self portrait and then to see the later version. You started out with a really well-done portrait and I love your big smile! -- Grandma

Your printmaking art makes me feel as though I am under the sea with waves and sea life swirling around...the variations in the blue color are beautiful and the drawing itself shows wonderful imagination!! -- Grandma

Loved seeing your Cezanne inspired fruit - beautiful brilliant colors of the fruit makes me wish they were in my kitchen fruit bowl and ready for for me to eat! Great job! -- Grandma

Ryan, Your art is somewhat similar to cave drawings I have seen in the southwest and made by the Anasazi Indians-the ancient ones. I am sure your prints also contains interesting thoughts. Great job!! -- Grandpa Gary

Ryan, seeing that big fish and the people in the fishing boat makes me want to go fishing. We need to do that this summer. Grandpa Gary -- Grandpa Gary

Hi Ryan - I loved seeing your latest artwork. Your turtle print is just gorgeous and the mix of colors around your turtle makes him look like he is actually swimming in shiny water while he nibbles on some seaweed. He has a beautiful design on his turtle shell! Great ideas! Love, Gma -- Linda

Ryan, I believe Georgia O'Keeffe would be proud of your representation of her work. I see the flower and petals, but also what appears to me to be the birth of a star right in the middle. Great Work!! -- Grandpa Gary

Hey there Ryan - I know you commented that you did not like chalk but your drawing is really beautiful as you worked with soft lines and then very specific lines. The colors are beautiful and it looks like your flower is moving through outer space! Love, Gma -- Linda

Hi Ryan - what a great self portrait drawing you did - with all the parts in the right places !! I especially love your eyes. You are really developing your talent for drawing!! Love, Gma -- Linda

Wow, Ryan. I just saw your art work and was very impressed by your talent in the use of colors and your ability to shift between free form and geometric patterns. Keep it up! -- Gary

Hi Ryan - What a great job you did learning about self-portraits and the different proportions on your face. It was easy to see how much you learned from the 'before' and 'after'...you must be listening really well to learn all of that and then create a new and improved self portrait. Great job!! Love, Grandma -- Linda

Ryan - you keep amazing me with your artwork. However did you make such soft colors look like something far in the distance and then bold moving lines on top. I love your imagination! -- Linda

You are so good at art - love seeing this cozy little cabin in the woods - a special warm place out of the snowstorm...is that Cali at the front door wanting to get inside? Your picture is just beautiful!! -- Linda

Hi Ryan - what clever design of colors with little contrasting windows like a mosaic - this is just beautiful!!! -- Linda

Ryan - I love your beautiful sculpture with bright colors all around and blended colors along the top rim...makes me wish I could hold it in my hands and feel the shape of the clay. Great job!! Keep up the good artwork! -- Linda

Wow, Ryan - this is beautiful! With all the swirls of blues and lines of motion. Looks like those astronauts are ready to get a ride on the rocket ship and do some more exploring in space. -- Linda

Ryan - You created a beautiful castle with lots of windows to let in the light and blue flags flying high! It makes me want to go inside and see what life is like inside a real castle. What a great job you did - keep up the good artwork!! -- Linda
