Yes! Actually the fashion did work and Phineas did his business! 😉 Maybe he just needed fashion in the end. It’s soooo cold here now… we always get a week or so like this every winter. We’re all just cuddled up indoors as much as possible. And a Panda sounds fun! I’ll have to try one in my new character style! 😃💕

Hehe!! Yeah… I can’t blame Phineas either… none of us want to go outdoors this week. It’s soooo cold! 😉

I’m dropping in again for the prompt of “Kingfisher” today, with a little doodle of one. I’ve sketched these birds very realistically before, so I thought I’d try something a bit different. I’ve been practicing

Your work is beautiful and lively, Lisa! I was moved by your video about your Mom’s underwear, having lost my own a year ago. I’m now wearing many of her outfits for the same reason – we did most of our clothes shopping together and she kept hers immaculate. Another skill lost in time! Thank you for sharing your artistic journey with us.

What beautiful art and wonderful journey. Thank you for sharing both with us.

Beautiful, vibrant work, Lisa!! Thanks so much for sharing!

Lisa, your soft-edge color application adds an ethereal aspect to your work, many of the paintings on the website are great for meditation. One can just float off like in a dream! But the humorous drawings are really funny!
Good stuff!

Thanks so much! 😃💕 Oh, I’m sure a family of vole would love to join and take a ride on the sled! hehe Fun! Yep… I’m enjoying every moment of the current process, but it really does feel like starting over and going to school some days! Which is equally fun because I’m a bit nerd who’s always adored school! 😉lol

Thanks so much, Lori! 😃💕 Yes! Yay! It’s so fun to just make up characters. Unfortunately, for a book, after you make they then you DO have to compare and try to get them to look like the same character each time. That part… ugh… still chugging along and practicing to make that happen. Right now, 4 out of 5 of my mouse poses for my book looked…[Read more]

Thanks so much, Bob! 😃💕 yeah, I adore those sunny blue sky days after a bit fully snow. Best part of winter! Yep, the book is coming along much slower than my eager inner child thought it might. But it’s a steady process!

Charlie, I love seeing your postings and Doodles every day. You have so much to offer and it gives me a chance to ideas when I don’t find my own inspiration.
Thanks for all you do !

Thanks so much, Sherrill! 😃💕 SO happy to know you’re inspired!
I’m with Phineas, I can accomplish more when treats are involved as well. The bird is gorgeous Charlie, we’re all looking forward to your new book.
Thanks so much, Laura! 😃💕 hehe… yep… Phineas has a really smart approach to life and treats!
I can’t wait until your book is done – it is going to be so fantastic! Dogs are so funny about their feet. My mastiffs hated getting them wet, but then, despite loving being dried off with a towel, they’d fight having their feet dried as well. They must get these odd quirks from humans – the only animal that’s quirkier!
Thanks so much, Sandra! 😃💕 Book is going slowly, but progress is appearing at turns! hehe And true! Humans are still the quirkiest!
I definitely understand slow progress, lol! You can comfort yourself that you aren’t the slowest! That would be me!
Sounds like you’re working hard and having fun! Can’t complain about that combination…especially if treats are sometimes involved! Look forward to meeting the new characters in your book!!
Thanks so much, Mary! 😃💕 Yeah, if treats are involved life is always good! hehe
Lovely Kingfisher Charlie! I am a little daunted but I should try🤷♀️ I can hardly wait for the first new book-I was thinking about signed copies and I also happened on a website that will turn your drawing into a plush toy! Hmmmm🤔 My creative- marketing- fundraising head spins-but then I remember I have to get back to my own projects 😄😁😆( But it is just so much fun to daydream about where I could go!)
Thanks so much, Nellie! 😃💕 awww… it would be cool to have my characters made into plush toys! Fun! Right now I just have to get them to appear correctly… hehe… but getting closer every day!
Love to see phineas in his winter attire. How cute. I don’t blame him not wanting to go outside. lol
Hehe!! Yeah… I can’t blame Phineas either… none of us want to go outdoors this week. It’s soooo cold! 😉
Charlie your Kingfisher is beautiful.
Thanks so much, Judy! 😃💕
Gorgeous colorful Kingfisher!
