Sandra Strait posted an updateI drew this while flying home from Florida. I had just flown out of Atlanta and after I started I was reminded of the shuttle train connecting the gates in that airport, so that\'s what I went with. It\'s been a long few weeks and I haven\'t been able to get much art done. It\'s the first time in years that I\'ve gone so long in-between drawing and painting. After doing art daily for so long, it amazes me how hard it is to get started again and how quickly you lose the flow in your work. If you don\'t use it, you DO lose it!

Jumping in again for our prompt of “Raincoat” today, with a little doodlewash of a bunny wearing one. I love a rainy day, though sometimes where I live it turns into a nonstop week of rain. So, when the rain

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH CHARLIE! We join you in celebrating a bunch of birthdays and anniversaries in April, and especially that book release! Congratulations! How exciting to hear you’re on to the next. The art will be the icing on your cake! The 50’s have been exciting, liberating, (a little vexing), and a lot if joy and gratitude. We’re definitely looking ahead with a bit of hope!🤗 Thanks for this place to enjoy our art and community together!
-
Thanks so much!!! 😃💕 Happy birthday and anniversary to all!! Yeah, I’m looking forward to this next decade. And always looking ahead. I know there’s lots of hope on the horizon!

Happy Birthday month Charlie! And, I have fantastic news for you. Your inner child will come out more and more as you get older. I am 68 and I am just about all kid now 😉 I agree, thanks for the gift of this wonderful community. Love, love your bunny in a raincoat 🙂
-
Thanks so much, Zoie! 😃💕 Yay for just getting younger and younger! Yeah, I think it’s just the way we’re meant to grow older properly!
-
-
Happy Birthday, 50 is a hoot! Enjoy
-
Thanks so much, Brenda! 😃💕 hehe… I’m definitely going to enjoy myself!
-
-
Happy Birthday month! I hope you enjoy everyday to the fullest.
-
Aww thanks so much, Laura! 😃💕 You as well my friend!
-
-
Chaaarrlllieee! Great to see you pop up with a bunny looking very snazzy in that sunny yellow raincoat. It has been hailing and indeed snowing here today, so perhaps boots are needed, too…
Sounds like you’re on a roll juggling any number of things, as per usual. Hope you have a great birthday – not long now! <3
-
Thanks, Jacob! 😃💕 I’ll never forget that time you gave me a zonkey for my birthday! hehe Best day ever! And yeah, hail and snow doesn’t sounds quite as fun. I hope that’s all past here… but each time it warms up, it gets cooler the next day. 😉
-
That was five years ago now, can you believe it!? Maybe Philippe can make a zonkey cake? 😛 That would be so cool!
-
I know!! Time really flies… it seems like yesterday. And now I’m starting a whole new decade! Geesh! But a zonkey cake would be the coolest! I shall request one! 😉 lol

Happy birthday month! I’ll have cake in your honor!😂😂😂 Joe and I are waiting for our 2nd shots so looking forward to that. Maybe we can have company!
-
Thanks so much, Lisa! 😃💕 Yay! Let’s all have some cake! Yeah, I get my second shot the day after my birthday, so just before the end of the month, I’ll be totally ready to hug the first other fully vaccinated person I see! hehe I hope I actually know them as it might be awkward. 😉
-
-
Terrific news, Charlie! Can’t wait to get your new book(s), and I’m sending you the happiest of birthday wishes! 🥰🎂🎁🥂
-
Aww thanks so much, Carol! 😃💕 I hope folks enjoy this new series. I’m loving making them! Here’s to a beautiful and creative April!

Charlie if I ever thought of you as having age I would have said 30s. You are ageless somehow. Congrats on the books! YAYYYYYYYYYY!! You are multifacted.
Yep cake makes us smarter hehehhehe. And happy birthday — now that you finished your birthday cake. Cackle.
-
That’s the sweetest compliment ever! 😃💕 30s?? I’ll take that… tell everyone!! lol And I definitely think cake makes us smarter for sure… well, a story I tell myself at least. Hmmm… you reminded me… I should get another cake for my birthday. This one doesn’t count! lol
-
-
Congrat’s to you for the progress on your book, and for reaching the half-cenury mark! “Ah yes, I remember it well….” (was it Maurice Chevalier who sang a duet of that song?) As you age, your inner child will continue to come out, and you will not be judged harshly for it! May God grant you many,many years!
-
Thanks so much, Bob! 😃💕 Yeah for a half-century and living the next half with my inner child playing constantly! It’s going to be fun!!
-
-
Always nice to see you around with your lovely sketches and your awesome talks. I am super excited for you and to see your first illustrated book. I know it will be great. Keep on keeping on and have a wonderfully blessed birthday!!!
-
Thanks so much, Priscilla! 😃💕 I almost wasn’t sure if I would pull it off, but I just kept on DOing it and it worked out! Hope you and yours are doing well!
-
-
Have a good birthday month, Charlie. Im glad you’re getting on with your second book.
-
Thanks so much, Gary! 😃💕 Yeah, there’s a bit of delay for books to appear online. So I figured I just leap ahead and go for two! hehe
-
-
Hope you have a wonderful birthday month and celebrate each and every day!!!
-
Thanks so much, Mary! 😃💕 I totally will! I hope you have a creative and wonderful April as well!
-
-
Congrats on getting your next book started! I hope you had a great Easter weekend! I got to spend mine with family I don’t see too often so it was wonderful indeed!
-
Thanks so much, Sandra! 😃💕 Aww that’s wonderful! Getting to spend time with family is the best ever. My mom and sister are supposed to pop by next month. We’ll all be vaccinated by then, so there WILL be hugs!! Yay!
-
-
Great to hear you have a picture book coming out soon and all the future projects ,wish you a great birthday month maybe you gonna held a big party btw a sweet colorful bunny in a raincoat you painted!!
-
Thanks so much, Fatima! 😃💕 Yeah, I think every spring I get extra motivated. I hope you’re enjoying the month and having a lot of fun!
-
-
Thanks so much, Linda! 😃💕 Yeah, I think treats are always a good booster for creativity! hehe
-
Thanks so much, Marisela! 😃💕 Yeah, it’s been a great month so far. It always takes time for a new book to actually show up fully online, but hopefully in the next couple weeks the first one will appear! I’m excited to get going on the next one even though I think a sane person would take a little break in between! lol Thankfully, that’s not me at all! Hope you are doing well!
-
Thanks so much, Mugdha! 😃💕 Aww… you know what I do on my stories? I really don’t know exactly what’s going to happen when I start, but I start writing the first bit and then after I get a handle on that part and what needs to happen for my character, I jump to the end and write how I’d like to see it finish for them. Then it’s just sort of fun and surprising journey to find out how the heck to get there! My posts work pretty much the same way, actually! lol I don’t know if it’s a proper method at all, but it seems to work for me, at least! 😉 I hope you have a fabulous and creative month my friend!
