Written by Sundays with Philippe are back for the start of the year with a doodlewash of these lovely flowers. Philippe said he needed some springtime after it felt like spring for so long before suddenly snowing on us. So here’s a little spring in January to start the New Year. We hope everyone is having a fantastic year so far!
We’re enjoying our last day of vacation before returning to work tomorrow and “normal” life. This has been an amazing holiday break and we’ve had a blast. Though we still have to finish the puzzle which has been sitting on the table for a few days now half finished, taunting us with its complexity. I guess we still have a few days before it’s officially sad since it’s going to be a few more before we finally get around to taking that darn tree down.
beautiful!!!! Tree went down here yesterday. Have to say it felt good. Ready for January nesting! 🙂
Glad you liked these Jodi!! 😃💕Hehe…yeah….I’m always a little sad to see it go, but it’s such a pain to dispose of that it’s also a bit of a relief! Happy nesting my friend!!
Is there a French translation for the word doodlewash ? I did not find any translation. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice evening and good luck for the return to work tomorrow!
Not unless we make one up! Hehe…”doodlewash” is a word that I coined myself about 6 months ago. I wanted to give people a word that made watercolor sketching seem fun and so people didn’t have to worry about making a watercolor “masterpiece” each time and could just paint for the love of it! And enjoy whatever the result was! It’s been fun to see so many people adopting the new word. Hope you have a wonderful evening! Make a doodlewash!! 😉Hehe
Great ! What a good idea ! Especially when one knows how watercolor is a difficult technique ! Many thanks for the explanation. I will make now doodlewashes ! I hope you many nice doodlewashes for 2016 ! 🎨🎨🎨
Yay! Love hearing that! Would you like to be a Guest Doodlewasher? Would love to feature you and your work!
Why not !
Awesome! Can you send me a note through my “Let’s Connect” link on doodlewash.com? Then I can email you what I need to make a feature post! 😃
Ask Phillipe for more flowers, please. Here in Swansea we have had ten weeks of rain and I am ready to start building an ark. So, keep ’em coming. They are like hope. Hope in an affordable, nonfattening format.
Oh my!! You need some more flowers! That’s way too much rain, Kelly!! I’ll ask Philippe to make some more at once!! 😉👍🏻
Thank you for the spring lift, the gray days are getting a little old now. Beautiful flowers!
Oh back to the norm…oh no. I woke up in the middle of the night thinking I had forgotten to set my alarm clock and then realized it is only Sunday and we’re going to Star Wars as a way to cap off this lovely long break.
Our tree came down too…it was time to clean up and move ahead.
Glad you liked these, Cathe!! 💕😃Oh my gosh! I did the same thing…worrying that Monday was already here. And yay to Star Wars!! We saw it on New Year’s Eve…it’s super fun! Felt like they brought back the fun of my childhood (I thought the last 3 were awful😊) And your tree is down already? Now you’re just showing off…hehe… We’ll get there! It’s not as fun as putting it up!
Nice to see some flowers! Reality hit this morning, with a husband that had to go to work. Ugh. Christmas remains in our house until at least January 6/7 My last name should explain that. Or any excuse will do to continue on with festivities. Taking down the tree is a sad day. 🙂
Yay! Glad you liked Philippe’s flowers, Susan! Yeah… the going back to work thing is a tough reality to face, but cheers to keeping the tree longer. Our only excuse is pure laziness, but it is a sad day and any chance to delay it is good in my book!! 😉
Thank you for a beautiful bouquet to start my day Phillipe and Charlie.I’m on to a very happy day!
Awesome to hear that Sharon!! So happy you liked them!! Hope it was a great one! 💕😃
Beautiful doodlewash, Philippe! Flowers definitely brighten a day! We had a wonderful break too and tomorrow kids go back to school. It’s going to take a few days for both kids and me to get back into the routine.. Have a wonderful day!! ❤️
Thanks Kari! Glad you liked these! And yeah…I figure I’ll be back in the swing of things by Friday. Just in time for a weekend!! Hehe Yay! 😊

Awww and you’re a master at them Snehal!! So happy you liked Philippe’s rendition!! 😃💕
ohh yes I like the composition too 🙂
Lovely painting! We can use more spring like flowers. Love the spatter! This one has indpired me yo sketch up some compositions to paint.
Its a balmy 20 degrees F here eith a blanket of snow. Christmas decor is being packed away. Packers/Vikings game is about to start.
Oh my!! That’s super cold, Rob!! Glad you liked Philippe’s flowers…and yay that you’re inspired to sketch something up. Just try to stay warm doing it my friend! 😉
Beautiful painting, very uplifting with the colors and design. Even the title is delightful, “Philippe’s Flowers”, sounds like there is a poem waiting. Cheers.
I’m so glad you liked his work, Haunani! 💕😃 Thanks for your lovely comment!! And I’m sure there could have been a poem if I had the time to write one…but Philippe insisted we go shopping. There was like 70% off clothes at Macy’s! Lol 😊😊
Love Philippe’s flowers, Charlie! Give him and Phineas a hug from me! This was just what I needed tonight, a burst of color. 💛
Thanks Laura! I will do so!! 💜😃 I’m hoping he’ll do more flowers. They’re super pretty and a nice way to combat the cold and snow!
Yeah, what could be better?
Refreshing! (K)
Thanks Kerfe! Glad you liked this! 💕😃
Thanks Philippe for the beautiful flowers 🙂
We’ll be needing lots of them this week to ease back from play time to “normal” 🙂
Turtle Hugs
So glad you like these!! Yeah…”normal” isn’t half as fun is it? 😊
