Another happy belated birthday to Philippe! I hope you had a wonderful un-celebration celebration!

As always, wonderful painting – thanks for upping the challenge to create walnuts AND a glass bowl. But my favorite is thinking that I’m along with everyone else as nuts in a bowl. ( :

Wonderful owl, Charlie! And with just your three colors. Fantastic!

Such wonderful little pigs, Charlie! And, of course, the story that goes with them is great, as are all of your narrations. We all should “ramble” a bit more!

Just delightful, Charlie! Your painting made me smile immediately, remembering those springy animals on the playground and your observation that they didn’t go anywhere except in our imagination is to wonderfully true. Your words on being and accepting your own self are equally wonderful and a super important reminder.

That milkshake took me directly back to my own childhood. Fantastic! But even more fantastic is hearing you on the podcast!!

Wonderful post, Charlie! We all owe so much to those people who shaped our lives without us even knowing it. Teachers are one of our greatest resources.

What a wonderful adventure! And your painting has people!! Adventures abound on Doodlewash today. ( :

Douglas Adams!! What a wonderful writer he was. Great dolphin – Thanks for all the watercolors, Charlie!

What a wonderful post! Thanks for sharing your story, Mark, in such a terrific way.

1,000 congratulations on your 1,000 days, Charlie! You are such an inspiration and it’s great to have your full doodlewash journey story here, along with the encouragement and guides for creating a wonderful habit. I especially appreciate your comments about needing to set aside more than 15 minutes every day because otherwise that time…[Read more]

Thanks for the great review! All of your tests and samples are great!!

Lovely cappuccino – and since I’m reading this in the morning, I might just make myself one now. It won’t be as fun and shiny as your painting, but at least I’ll be able to drink it! It’s also so fun to learn bits about your process. We always guessed that there was some wet paint lurking, but you’ve confirmed it. ( :

Oh my goodness! What a horrible thing, but in true Charlie form you made the best of it. I once started to learn classical guitar- it is a magical thing. But we are lucky that you continue the magic through your paints!

Philippe dressed as a toucan! Definitely. He owes that to you. Actually, I think it would be fun to see what animal mascots you could paint for all of those grown-up foods you have to eat now. Starting with Ronny the Rhino. We all need more glee and fun!!

I just realized why this site is so awesome – it’s stories! Not just a great painting but a story, too. Even if the story seems not to relate to the picture, it really does in the end, in a way that only you can do! One of my frustrations with something like Instagram is that there is just an image, with maybe a few words. But a story…..that…[Read more]

Foil! What a challenge, but you rose to the occasion. It is wonderful to stop by here every day, Charlie. I might not comment as much as I used to, but your paintings and your words still bring lots of light to my days. Thanks!!

Yay!! A Jessica review! Thanks for much for introducing Treckell and for the great review. That video of painting the Taj Mahal is amazing! Also, thank you thank you for your thoughts on creativity and dealing with critics, external and internal.

From pizza to da Vinci! Your posts are always such a treat, Charlie. Walter Isaacson just published a gorgeous biography of da Vinci you might want to look at. Love the pizza painting and I appreciate you omitting the extra pepperoni grease. ( :

Wonderful paintings and I love your travel journals! I am looking forward to seeing more. (I appear to be your first follower on Bloglovin’. I hope more join in)
