This made me laugh out loud!! Wonderful, Charlie! Thanks for such a bright start to my day.

What a wonderful painting, Charlie! The kitty is fantastic and the cosmic colors lend such an air of wonder. Thanks for brightening my day!

Beautiful rose, Charlie! They are my favorite and you have captured this one perfectly. I also love the Phineas story – poor little guy!

Happy happy birthday, Charlie! I hope it is a wonderful one spent safely and snugly with your little family! (Your latest book arrived the other day – I’m enjoying drawing foods and utensils and glass all around!).

Great sandwich, Charlie, and your book is out!! Ordering today – you have inspired me to include a food doodle in my daily sketch book.

What a wonderful key lime pie and congratulations on your sneaky shopping treats! As to the gluten-free flour, the main thing to know about baking without gluten is that the dough will be very very very soft and sticky. (Philippe will know why – the gluten adds structure to the mix) I’ve had to be gluten free for more than a decade and am happy…[Read more]

In honor of the day’s prompt, I bought some colorful heritage carrots….now I just have to sketch them before I eat them all!

Happy New Year, Charlie! And you are genius for always having cream on hand – as well as for painting this wonderful puppy ready to celebrate! All the best in the coming year!

Adorable, Charlie! I laughed out loud when I saw him hiding behind the gourds – ready to take one of those to his own den. I hope Philippe makes those sweater cookies so you can decorate them in crazy ways. And enjoy the coming weeks!

Positively gorgeous! So much potential in the fountain pen inks I already love!

Happy happy anniversary, Charlie and Philippe!

Super sketch and painting! As soon as I saw it, I thought it must be Philippe! Congratulations on a month of spooking yourself with challenges. I love all of the techniques you’ve tried and all of them have made really successful drawings and paintings.

Oh my goodness! This is so delightful, Charlie! The painting is wonderful – stippling! And you of self-professed non-patience. : ) And your story is so inspiring, taking time to honor those we no longer have with us. Thanks, Charlie!

So much fun!! Thanks, Charlie!

Adorable sloth – and one in motion! Of course, you will take the path least taken, Charlie. It’s fantastic!! I was fortunate to see sloths in their natural habitat last May in Panama – you have captured the image of one I saw perfectly!

This is so special! I love that you didn’t intend to create friends in globes a globe apart, but there they are. And of course, the connection that for all of the challenges of the internet in our lives, it does bring us together with people on completely different ice floes that we’d never have met otherwise. The ink drawing is amazing, as are…[Read more]

Wow, Charlie! What an amazing drawing – hand, foreshortening, you and your blue glasses, and, well, chips! Thanks for sharing your stretch from your comfort zone. You continue to inspire in ways you probably never realized!

Your flowers are lovely, Charlie, as are your words. I love the image of the two of you having a vacation afternoon!

Such lovely words, Charlie! And a beautiful rendition of those cups – filled with love.

I’m a bit behind, Charlie, but congratulations!!!! What an amazing milestone, that just happened because you kept up with a fun thing every day. Such an inspiration!
