Hi Grace, Yes, I like this abstract creation of colors and shapes! You have a a gift to put colors, shapes and figures together in a creative fashion. That is true of your writing as well. Don’t forget to practice that talent of writing poems, short stories, and short movies. You have a knack for photography as well. Keep up the good work! Love you to the moon and back! Grma G Gem

Gracie Girl, You know, when you look at the artwork on the walls in my house, that I appreciate abstract pieces of art. I really like this picture! Love, Grma G

Hi Grace, I love this picture of different shapes in different colors in different placements. Are you trying to mimic Vincent van Gogh? That’s what this reminds me of! Great piece of art !! No worries, call you later,Love! Grma G

HellOOOOOO Grace! I like this abstract use of O’s. It could be used as a picture or a 3 dimensional art form. Keep up the good work, You have an amazing imagination! Love you to the moon and beyond…….. Grma Gee

Grace, I would have used this as my Christmas card this year but Uncle Daniel had already a plan to do mine for me! I love it! But I love you more!! You are talented in so many ways! God has blessed you with uniqueness! Grma Gee

Grace, This is what Father Kevin was talking about in his homily, at Mass, on Grandparent’s Day! “Remain in Me, and bear much fruit!” You captured the essence of the Gospel! This going to be the next card with that scripture reading inside. Gracie, you are amazingly talented with gifts of the Holy Spirit! No worries, call you later, LOVE! Grma Gee

Grace, This picture is so great for my Christmas cards, that I ordered it for the second year! Thanks for the beautiful and tender scene, with bright colors! Good job! Love you! Grma G

Hi Gracie Girl, That is a peaceful visual of the picture in your mind, and now on paper! You very cleverly, added a heart in the upper right corner and a heart in your minds eye. Quite a calming thought with rainbow colors in the background, and you resting with eyes closed in the lower right corner! Make those thoughts a reality, as often as possible! No worries, see you later, Love. Grma G

Another interesting and creative endeavor! You (and your head) are filled with beautiful and peaceful thoughts. Love it!

Grace, you are a unique and talented artist. You amaze me more and more every time I’m with you! This self portrait reminds me of how contemplative you were at 1 year old! You would look new people and new things over, check them out thoroughly, before smiling or acknowledging! I can see that in this portrait! Love you, Grma G

Grace - of the 21 California missions, our guess is that this looks most like Santa Barbara. Which one is it? We love the detail and precision of the palm trees, fountain and bell towers - it looks as though you took an architecture class. Eres fantástica y te amamos! AuntieT/UncleD

This art is a true balance of your subject (Grace), the colors and overall composition. You have created something mesmerizing and mirrored with just 5 letters of the alphabet. Fantastic! Keep the creative juices flowing! Auntie T & Uncle D

This is beautiful myriad of colors that looks like a stunning stained glass window! In India, the banyan tree has important meaning for people and is very special. But, we can happily say you are far more special to us!! XOXO, Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel

Gracie - This picture is such a perfect reflection of you: smiley, creative and full of colorful life!! Did you know the oldest mosaic is 3,500 years old?! This might be one of your best artworks yet. We love you in all of your "tesserae" glory! Auntie T & Uncle D

Love this! Reminds me of the saguaro cacti (Carnegiea gigantea) that we saw with Grandma & Grandpa in Arizona - the largest in the US! Even taller than you are...!

Grace, As we talked about your artwork at brunch on Saturday, this is another of your amazing creations!!! We don’t see cactus in MN, (too much snow!!!!) so your picture is “heartwarming” for me. I enjoy your creation and I love that you are my granddaughter! No worries! Call you later, Love. Grandma G

Hmmm Grace, is this a church in a warm climate? It has palm trees on each side of the huge door and a “cross” in the glass window over the door. It appears that you could go into architecture with this black and white pencil sketch! I’d love to tour the inside of this building! No worries, call you later, Love! Love you lots, Grma G

Grace, this piece of artwork is gorgeous! I love the color combinations! It looks like a Stainglass window of a beautiful tree, with a young girl, blonde, looking at it. And it is all reflected in the water at the bottom. That’s my interpretation. Beautiful! Love you to the moon and the stars and back! Grma G

GrAcE. There are not enough words for how AwEsOmE this mosaic artwork is! This should definitely be a t-shirt. This creation makes me smile and think about what a fantastic person you are. LoVe u LoTs.

Gracie! Your night sky is filled with amazing celestial wonders...and a fox! (Question: is that a pet or you?!) Vincent van Gogh painted the famous "The Starry Night" artwork - but it way less cool because it doesn't have a Vulpes vulpes! Love you beyond the stars.

ECARG!!GRACE - This is a kaleidoscope of color all about wonderful you! The pattern and sequence dance around with a vivacity <> equal to you. Your mind is endlessly inventive and inspirational - keep it up! XOXO

Grace-alicious!!! I love what you’ve done with your name for this piece of artwork. Upside down, backwards or straight forward, “G-R-A-C-E” is the “one” we love!! You are my sunshine! No worries, call you later love! XOXOXO, Grma G

Grace, This is a beautiful picture of Mary and Jesus! It’s very inspirational as I said to Eloise with her picture. You can ask her what I said about hers and it means the same to me when I look at yours. I will be ordering this for my Christmas card. Continue to experiment and practice you talents in art! Love ?? you! Grma G

Hi Sunshine! This artwork is, as usual, a wonderful creation of colors, objects and symbolism! I need to hear from you what the dog is trying to symbolize in this picture. Its ears are too long to represent Sammy, your dog. Keep up the good work! You are a wonderful Creation of God, and have a talent for putting thoughts to paper in so many ways! Love you, “call you later Love!” Grandma G

Hello Grace! Very interesting creation of a “Starry Night”. I love it! The sky is lit up with stars, moon and awesome forms of lights and mysterious colored shaped objects, lingering in the darkness. And of course nature’s night creatures on the prowl. What’s in the red building, in your imagination? So great and somewhat mysterious! Love you to the stars above, Grma G

Sweet Gracie, This is a great way to end third grade with a creative art project! It is a very interesting creation and I love the way you’ve used all of the shapes and colors to put this character together.

Happy Birthday Month, Grace!!! Another great piece of artwork!! Nice work on color choices and shapes. Love, love, love it! Keep up the good work!! Love you!!! Grams G

Yes! Yes! Yes, Grace! Another great interpretation of self portrait in mosaic style. Love the use of color choices for borders and clothing. I see that you may have incorporated school uniform colors in your outfit. Nice job! And I’m so happy I get to see your creative abilities in note cards and on my morning coffee cups, and on my walls with each new season of the year! ?????? you! Grma G

WOW!! Grace, this picture is alive with color! The combination of colors and shapes that you pieced together is amazing! The way you put together pieces to form the hearts with vibrant but subtle tones, is very clever. The objects within each shape are intricate and eye catching! This is another masterpiece. I’m so impressed with your creativity! Great job, Gracie! Love You!!, Grma G

Gracie, this is what I’ve been waiting for.... a”GracAcasso”! It is amazing! Love the color coordination and striping contrast. Brilliant! Send me a photo of it! You are awesome and so is your creativity! ?? You Gracialicious! Grma Gee

This is a coniferous dreamland that we can envision ourselves snow-shoeing through. We love seeing your artwork - almost as much as we love seeing you! Keep up the amazing work, Gracie! We love you to the top of the tree canopy, Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel

Hello Grace, I love this picture that you colored of bridges. When I close my eyes and think of it I think of you and I walking On it for a few steps and then you run across it and back up another path way as I follow you! I love the flowers below and the walk way across the middle with a pathway in blue leading others too and from the bridges. The colors are vibrant and exhilarating which is perfect for a walk in that park! Love your creations but not as much as I love my talented GRANDDAUGHTERS! Grma G

Gracie, This is a beautiful forest of trees relaxing in the gentle snowfall! It looks 3 dimensional!! You did a great job on choosing colors to make it realistic!! Love you, Grma G

Gracie! This snowman (snowlady?) jumps off the page with life. We can feel the snowflakes landing on our face like frosty kisses! Uncle Daniel says he is tempted to eat the carrot it looks so tasty. Amazing art!! We (heart) you! Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel

Gracie, Gracie, Gracie!!! This is an adorable snowman and you know how I love snowman. You do such a good job of creating artistic images from your past experiences. I can see that snowman outside my window last winter, remember? This should be framed!! Keep creating, keep believing that God loves you and so do I!! Grma G

Grace! This artwork reminds us of Pablo Picasso's blue period! It is full of mystery, beauty and serenity. You have done a wonderful job of creating stunning architecture while drawing the viewer's eye to the radiant star. We are WOWED!! Love you, Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel

Gracie With the Sweet Smile, I think this is a magnificent rendition of the 3 Kings following the star, as directed by the angel in a dream! What did they find when the star stopped? Where did the star stop and why did it stop moving? I am getting excited for what is to come in the next month. And, I am excited to see more of your creative drawings. I love you to the star above the castle towers, Grandma G

This is a fantastic medley of spooky Halloween characters. The haunted house is oozing with eerie cats and hooting owls - it scared the socks off of Uncle Daniel! Your mysterious mind is also teeming with spine-tingling creativity and enough glowing love to power a full Halloween moon. Keep it up, Gracie!! We love you!! Uncle Daniel & Auntie Trisha

Hi Grace, do you know who the famous painter Monet is? I’m not sure if you got my last message where I mentioned Monáe, so I thought I would tell you to look him up on Google. The picture you did of the leaves is a perfect example of his muted look in a painting. You are an amazing, gifted little girl. I thank God daily for the blessing of you and Eloise in our family!! Love you sooooooooo much! Grma G

Grace, you are my “Monet”! Your “Halloween Shapes” creation is super! You remember all of the shapes I have in the house for decorations. And purple included in the picture makes me smile ??! The house is so haunted looking, I can almost hear the ghosts and goblins “booing”!! Whoooooo! I am so excited to see your next masterpiece. Love you way up to the roof on your haunted house ??. Grma G

Gracie - your gorgeous, glowing white oak leaf proves that every leaf is an Autumn flower! Those beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow have been hiding all year just under the surface and now when the chlorophyll breaks down the colors shine through. Did you hand pick the leaves? We love watching you discover more and more of your talents! We love you bunches and bunches!! Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel

Dear Gracie, I have missed seeing your creative artwork! You are starting out the second grade with a beautiful creation. The picture you have done of these beautiful leaves is amazing! This painting reminds me of walking through the The woods and kicking the leaves in front of me. I am so excited to see your creations throughout this next year. I love your creativity and of course I love you too! Grandma G

Gracie, I love your artwork! I'm going to order this beautiful Egg as an Easter note card for next Easter! Love you, Grma G -- Mary Lee

These beautiful blossoms are just waiting to burst into SUMMER!!! Reminds me of a silly joke - "Q: what did the big flower say to the small flower? A: What's up, bud?" Hahahaha. You must have spent a great deal of time coloring the branches - it looks exactly like the texture of a plant. Grace, you have a very special artistic gift. We think you are so talented!! Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel -- Auntie Trisha

OH MY GOODNESS!! This picture is just like you - busy as a bee and full of a wonderful range of emotions! Did you know that ancient Egyptians were bee-keepers and honey has been found in the pyramids?? Can you "bee-lieve" it!?! Uncle Daniel plans to have a beehive someday...hopefully you will help him so he doesn't get stung!! You are a fantastic artist, Grace! Keep up the great work! Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel -- Auntie Trisha

This looks like a perfect pastel colored Easter egg of love! Or maybe it's a HUGE jelly bean... did you know that it is estimated Americans eat more than 16 million jelly beans?!? That's A LOT of sugar - and potential cavities!! Great job, Grace!! Love you!! Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel -- Auntie Trisha

Gracie, I just noticed this beehive! It is so adorable. Those bees look like they are having so much fun! And they remind me of you and your friends who are always in motion and having lots of fun!

This artwork is DINO-MITE! We can almost imagine looking out our 9th floor apartment window and seeing A DINOSAUR LOOKING BACK AT US. How unexpected to have a "fearfully great lizard" roaming amongst skyscrapers. Your art challenges our minds and creativity, and that is AWESOME! We love you, Fearfully Great Grace! Uncle Daniel & Auntie Trisha -- Trisha

To My Sweet Granddaughter Gracie, You have created another amazing picture of a "Dinosaur City". I want to know what kind of dinosaurs you have pictured here. I cannot remember their names, and you know them so well. I need to see this picture up close so I can get a better view of the city! You are awesome, and I love you! Grandma G -- Mary Lee

To my artistic granddaughter Gracie, What a beautifully colored shamrock! Saint Patrick would have loved to have put that on his wall or table. You continue to amaze me with your wonderful choices of colors! You are a blessing to us all. I love you, Grandma G -- Mary Lee

Love you to the stars and back!!!! Grandma G -- Mary Lee

This is brilliantly colored scenic masterpiece, Grace! Did you know: you can tell if a turkey is a boy or girl from their poop? Boy turkeys have spiral-shaped droppings and girl turkeys have poo shaped like the letter "J". Weird! We are so thankful to have a niece as wonderful as YOU! Love, Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel -- Trisha

Gracie, My Sweet Gobbler, Your depiction of the Thanksgiving turkey is fantastic! I can tell by your colorful picture, that you remember the turkeys that we would see out the window in Golden Valley. You do such a good job of using color combinations! I love you, and hope to see you soon! Grandma “Gobbler” -- Mary Lee

I love you, Grandma Garbe -- Mary Lee

You have a talented teacher with the ability to motivate her student to express themselves with color and a paint brush! Love you my Sweet Granddaughter!! ?? -- Mary Lee

G'day, Gracie! What an amazing and happy picture of an Australian koala. Remember the lesson about koalas: never pat a koala on the head (they get upset), only pat them on the bottom! We love you! Auntie Trisha & Uncle Daniel -- Auntie Trisha

Kindergarten Birds?? Gracie, This looks like a cute picture of you and your friends modeling new hats!! I love the details of these beautiful girls,...oops I mean birds... modeling their purple and green outfits, hats and long leggings! They have the most adorable feet and shoes that match their shape!! We could make up a great story about these birds, OK? Keep up the good work, Love you!! Grandma -- Mary Lee

Gracie, This Koala bear is another great example of how creative you are! Your art teacher is doing a good job in helping you explore the unusual animals in other countries.
