Love your art work Ashlinn, especially since it is a cardinal! Love Grandpa Mick and Nancy

Nice detail and colors!

I love the blue color. Looks just like an aquarium. Grandpa Mick.

Your mask looks for all the world like Humpty Dumpty, with some cracks on each side from the great fall off the wall. The pink lips are perfect! I am guessing that the yellow straw is egg yolk squirting out. Is grandma right, or is this really meant to be a pretty face with curly blonde hair? See--that's why you're a great artist: you keep your viewers guessing!

I feel as if I am walking through the streets of a big city when I look at this picture of yours, Ashlinn. What a variety of colors, shapes and heights--just what I would expect to see if I were to go to--say--Cincinnati! The tallest building in Olean is the bank building, and it is just eight stories high. I am guessing that some of your buildings are much taller!

It must have been fun for you to think up how you would have made your shield if you were a Native American who needed to protect himself. First of all, you put a strong-looking animal face in the center, which warns other people that you too are strong. Second, the blue-and-green swirls are pretty when they are still, but I would guess that if you twirl the shield, they would make the person looking at it dizzy! Finally, the white, wispy feather is just perfect, and maybe helps hide the Native American behind the shield, or maybe it has some other purpose? I like to guess what you, the artist, was thinking when you created your art. Perhaps you can tell me sometime if I came close, or if they were silly guesses!

Your snowman appears to me to be dressed for a prom, with his fancy tall black hat and red scarf. The pale blue background and the dark lines you drew on his one side makes it look like he could twirl around and dance if he wanted to! Welcome, winter!

Hi Ashlinn, Do you think that long ago little Egyptian kids got in trouble for writing on the walls? What are the people in your picture trying to say with their wall art? I imagine it's a little harder to draw persons standing sideways and just showing part of their faces (their profiles) rather than standing facing forward and drawing their whole faces. You did a good job with their arms, having them reach up to work on their project. It makes me happy to see your artwork!

Now this is a cute little creature, who seems to be a little shy. As the artist, you gave him floppy ears and a button nose, and turned his head to look at the big world around him. Perhaps he is waiting for his mama.

Beautiful rose creations!
-- Grandpa Mick

This little girl, with her pretty blue-and-pink outfit reminds me of the artist who created this picture! Perhaps she is admiring the flowers, and wondering if it would be okay to pick just one, to take home for her mother. I like the bright, bold colors you picked, and how the little girl's lips show just how delighted she is that she can be outside, walking under the shiny blue sky. This is a very cheery piece of art. Thank you!
-- Grandma Lanie

Oh, how lovely. Spring flowers! I can almost smell their sweet aroma! Ashlinn, I like how you drew a very bold, strong stalk to hold up your fully-opened pink and purple flowers with their many petals. You cleverly left some white areas, so that your flowers look like they are happily sparkling in the bright sunshine. Hurray, the snow is gone, and these nice, bright colors are popping up in our yards!
-- Grandma Lanie

Ashey is this a self-portrait??? It is lovely!!!
-- Dad

Looks like a rainbow!
-- Mick

How soft and pretty the different colors are that you used, starting with pink, then moving up the paper with a little orange, then lots of bright yellow, till you finished with a blue-then-purple sky. It is very clever how you did this, because it makes me want to look up, up, up, to see the birds and the clouds above. You made the roofs with very steep peaks that point up to the sky too. Is that smoke coming from the chimney? Your four people appear to be ready to dance! This is a very cheerful piece of art!
-- Grandma Lanie

Ashlinn, What a delightful giraffe you have created! He has a very curious look on his face, as if he sees something up in the sky that we don't know about. Could it be leaves on a tree branch that he can't quite reach? Maybe he is just stretching the nice long neck you gave him. It must have taken you a long time to draw all his lovely spots. This is a very cheery picture. Your giraffe makes me laugh!
-- Grandma Lanie

The snowman looks happy with all those snowflakes around!
-- GrandpaMick

Your snowman looks so joyful over the white, fluffy flakes that are falling on his head. Ashlinn, you drew the perfect expression on your snowman's face to show how happy he is. You made his arms reach upwards to show that he welcomes God's wintry gift. Perhaps your snowman is hoping that some kids will come along to build some more snowmen to keep his company. Yay for snow!

Get the rake out of the garage! Ashlinn's tree is shooting its leaves everywhere, making a big pile in the yard. The dark blue sky at the top tells us that winter is coming. I notice how you pasted the leaves on so they go in all different directions, which shows that the wind is blowing them off the branches. It probably feels to the tree like it is getting a haircut. Not to worry, its leaves will all grow back soon!
-- Grandma Lanie

Oh my, you must have gone to a lot of effort to cut and paste all those pieces of paper to make your artwork. To my eye, it looks like a robot who has turned his head around to look at me. Perhaps he could come to my house to vacuum the carpet. On the other hand, maybe he is a kid with a spooky bag over his head, about to go trick and treating! That is what is fun about what you made, Ashlinn. Your artwork can be whatever we imagine it to be.
-- Grandma Lanie

I would like to have a tree like this in my front yard. Everyone would drive by and point at it, because it is so tall and straight and blazing with color. Ashlinn, I notice how you made the leaves a mixture of yellow, then orange, then red, just like maple trees look in the Fall. You will have to show me how you made the trunk and the grass look so real without drawing lines first.
-- Grandma Lanie

Ashlinn, your little evergreen looks like it is very happy to have been picked to be a Christmas tree. You cleverly drew the tree so that it points up to the star on top, helping us remember about the star that shone over the place where Jesus was born. I am wondering what is inside the gifts with their big bows on top? Only you, the artist, knows for sure!
