#doodlewashMay2022 prompt: Overlook. ‘Cause my anteater is looking over the fence!
Did you know that the anteater has the lowest body temperature, 89.6 degrees Fahrenheit, of all land mammals. We aren’t sure why but suspect it is to conserve energy.

Did you know ‘lilac’ comes from ‘lilaq’, the Persian word for flower?

Put in your color backgrounds, then do your rough sketches over them.

<li style=”text-align: left;”>Hi Steve, I do some urban sketching & love it. Not a pro but I suggest that you just do an abstract representation of the bricks & rules. Rough sketch in a few & let them fade out. The viewers eye will fill them in.

#doodlewashApril2022 prompts: Mug.
Did you know there are 3 theories about the origin of the term ‘Cup of Joe’?
One is that Joe was a term for the common man and coffee the drink of the common man. Another is that other slang terms for coffee, Java and Jamoke, were combined and shortened to Joe.

The last is that when Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, banned alcohol on Navy Ships, in 1913, more coffee was consumed. The sailors began calling it ‘Joe’ in reference to the Secretary. \'Create Like a Kid Again\' - Exercise 12.

For our prompt of “Mug” today, I made a sketch of a little cat with a mug of coffee, mugging for the camera. Actually, this is pretty much how I look each morning when I finally get my cup of coffee to start the

Well Charlie I don’t know if you would call me a morning person but I am up around 4 – 4:30 and I do run around and do two things at once: get dressed and make my bed at the same time and run back and forth getting coffee made. Oh wait that is three things at once. I am bright eyed and bushy tailed and have a glass of water first (I heat it, hating cold water as I do except in summer). Then my Folgers Decaf, green can. Ahhhhhhh oh my my my yes.
By 8 pm I am likely just falling asleep since my Circadian slipped backwards. And like you did on your nice vaycay I have my four ounces of red wine in the early afternoon and then forget about wine till next afternoon. That way I don’t have it in my system at bedtime. When I was a kid I would snort at bedtime and tell myself when I am a grownup I will stay up late. Imagine that silly concept.
Enjoy yourself wherever you are!
-
Hehe!! I think you’re definitely a morning person if you’re bright-eyed and busy tailed that early! 😃💕 And I did the same as a kid… I wanted to stay up so late, but then I grew up to realize that sleeping isn’t so bad after all! lol Hope you have a fabulous weekend!
-

Hubby and I took a long weekend a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t totally unplug, but close to it. I really enjoyed it but found it so hard to get back into the swing of things when I came back. I’m just now finally getting caught up!
-
That’s wonderful you got a little break! And I know what you mean! It’s soooo tough to get back to “real” life after that! hehe 😃💕

Great doodle Charlie. I’m definitely a morning person. Jumping out of bed before my alarm goes off at 4 am. My 2 day get away on my bike did me the world of good, after the sad and unexpected loss of my wife in April.
-
Thanks so much, Gary. I’m glad you got bike and get away. I’m so sorry about your wife. There are no words for a loss like that. I’m sending you love and support, my friend. 😃💕
-
-
Wonderful sketch, Charlie!!! In a perfect world my alarm clock would be birdsong. I’m usually awake early and ready to start the day but a good cup of coffee sure tastes good.
-
Thanks so much, Mary! 😃💕 Yeah… that’s awesome! I need the good cup of coffee to really be ready to go. hehe
-
-
Charlie, I love your sketches!
-
Aww thanks so much, Karen! 😃💕
-
-
Thanks so much, Fanna!! 😃💕 Happy you enjoyed this! Hope you have a fabulous weekend, my friend!
-
Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 It was wonderful to have a little break. So much so that we’re going back tomorrow! hehe I love the fairy idea behind the night. That’s so wonderful! Much love to you my friend!
-
Thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 I think this cat has definitely had too much caffeine! lol It was a fun weekend, but yeah… I want an island and a beach. That would be the best getaway indeed. I did that years ago, but it’s been way too long. Big hug to you and much love, mi amiga!
