Awesome! Thanks so much, Charlie! I just messaged you.

Beautiful budgies, Charlie, and tell Phillipe I said thanks for introducing you to watercolor! It would have been a terrible shame if you hadn’t had the chance 🎨 Also, I want cad-free colors!

From one vintage watercolor friend to another not-quite-as-vintage watercolor friend, your Doodlewash is just lovely, Charlie. I look back at when I was “showcased” on Doodlewash and how proud I was of those simple creations, and how humbled I was to be featured. My, how I’ve leaned and my art has grown since then, which came from encou…[Read more]

Charlie, this is a charming Doodlewash! I’m having so much fun with the prompts this month and am eager to see what everyone creates!
Also, I love Winsor & Newton!

Your Bob looks like a sweetie! Our Bob takes pleasure in raiding our bird feeder and toppling our bird bath. Oh well, Bob is part of nature, so I overlook his superpowers. He should be making his appearance in about an hour or so, and although our beloved dog is now gone, we will marvel at Bob’s punctuality at dusk. 😊

Wow, just stunning!

🎶 Happy birthday, dear Charlie 🎶 And many mooooore! 🥰😘

Hang in there, Charlie! Emotional ebbs and flows are natural, especially now. I couldn’t create for the first two weeks, and the second week was particularly difficult. Once I was able to wrap my mind around everything (keeping a journal helps a lot), and grieving the fact that we had to cancel our family beach vacation in May, (at least I d…[Read more]

Delightful, Charlie! May you have a dozen of these for your birthday, calorie free! Hey, my birthday is usually overlooked because it is so close to Christmas, but thankfully my loved ones are good about recognizing it, even if they give me a birthday/Christmas gift. Be well, my friend!

Hi Charlie! I’m catching up on WP as I’ve been a bit distracted lately, as have most of us. Seeing your paintings is a delight! I am participating in Sketchbook Revival and was thrilled that you were presenting on the first day! I’ve decided to work on smallish projects on days when I am feeling overwhelmed, and your Doodlewash books are going…[Read more]

I really enjoyed your description of the snowfall. I find it quite beautiful and meditative. Just reading about your snow dance was calming. Thanks for that, Charlie!

What a sweet little guy. At one point I didn’t realize narwhals were real, I guess because I’d never seen one at our zoo’s aquarium. I’m glad they are elusive and hopefully can live their full 50 years of life happy in the sea! I love your magical creations each and every day, Charlie, and I hope you have a terrific extended vacation from work! &#x1f3a…[Read more]

I love this group of supportive artists, Charlie, who indeed “light” the way for future artistic growth! True treasures!

Go Inky! I hope he (or she) is out there living life to its fullest, just as we should be, but I’m surprised at their short life span. I’ve read that octopi are very intelligent (I hope that is true), and your Inky painting is spot on. 🐙 💖

Charlie, love this handsome owl! I’m with Phineas though. As much as I enjoy autumn and winter as my favorite times of the year, I wish we had more daylight. I’m also with Phineas regarding snuggle time. The best time of the year!! 😘

Beautiful! Your animals almost jump off the page!

What? No reference photos at all? Awesome work, Charlie! I love the expression on your face showing that you were aiming at something. I have terrible aim with things flying through the air, but as you said, I don’t care to be good at those things. I’ll take felt and a glue gun any day!! I’ve enjoyed seeing the double versions of your Doodl…[Read more]

OMG, now you MUST write your perspective of every fairytale. Your story is fantastic, Charlie! Love the apple painting, by the way 😂

Wow, your paintings have such vibrancy and life!! 😍

Awesome way to look at things – How do you know and LOVE this person? I will remember that! I, too, shopped in the husky section as a kid, which always seemed degrading to me as a girl, and I grew up painfully shy. Although I am still “husky,” I’ve grown to love myself as I am. I laughed when you said you looked chubby in a photo, but I sure…[Read more]
