Loved your apple art and your simple memories. So important to have those memories. Also enjoyed reading all the comments. Your Doodlewash brings back so many favorite memories for others. I love simple homemade applesauce with pork chops….the supper menu for tonight. Thanks, Charlie.

Love that giraffe! Thanks for the blog, it is always inspiring.

Beautiful work. Enjoyed your words, too.

Today I walked around picking up different leaves that have fallen. So many colors and shapes and all so beautiful. You have created a great site here at Doodlewah. I have been especially enjoying the guest artist blog and your daily blog. You have created a wonderful place for people all over the world to connect.

Love the colors in the barbells. I agree it is wonderful to have the time to enjoy what you like and a master piece is not the reason to paint. It definitely is the process. Enjoying the moment.

Your mask is beautiful and your words inspirational. Listening to your heart is a good message. Thanks for sharing your words with us.

Thanks for sharing your watercolor journey. I like your tips and also believe you need to play with the paints as they help you relax and enjoy the process. Have fun!

Clue was one of my favorite games, too. Was never good at ping pong. I like the way you describe the watercolor painting process. I am so happy that watercolor came into my life. It is like playing and seeing the paint working along with you or maybe against you is always amazing.

You painting is very good, Charlie. Bubble wrap is difficult not to top, glad my inner child directs me in the popping ways. Your blog always has a very good message.

Great little happy face on that kitten. Enjoyed your blog. I find it amazing how the relationship between human and animal becomes so close. We are fortunate to have them in our lives.

Enjoyed reading about your creative process. Loved the free flowing feeling of your art. The eyes did call out and grab my attention. Very beautiful,Terhi, thank you for sharing.

Great doodle! Just looking at that dog I was smiling. Loved the blog. When we would get silly and giggling as kids my grandmom would say, “laughing comes to crying”. We never wanted to believe her but it usually ended up being true. It never stopped us though. Giggling was always fun. Your blog has brought back many memories. Thanks, Charlie.

Congratulations on your daily doodle wash. 800 is amazing! I like your line, “Life is a lovely game of choices.” Choosing to have some homemade bread is a yummy choice. Good blog, Charlie.

Cute pup and interesting blog. I agree a good imagination is a wonderful gift.

Your bird is beautiful colors and I love the turn of the head. Watercolors have made me more aware of so many things that I just didn’t observe. I have always loved nature and enjoyed taking photos but when I started painting there was so much more to observe. The light, shadow, color, line and shapes seem to call out. So many gifts of nature.…[Read more]

Beautiful paintings and words. Retirement holds wonderful adventures, thanks for sharing yours.

I really enjoy your daily doodle wash and blog. Thanks so much Charlie for painting and writing daily. You do inspire many of us.

Loved your discussion of how you grow into watercolor painting. I am fairly new at this wonderful art experience. Enjoying retirement and learning new things. I too have enjoyed Zentangle, and finding animals and faces in the clouds. Love how that right side of our brain works. Your art is beautiful and I hope I get to that free flowing style…[Read more]

This brought back memories when I was a kid. My mom hung the sheets out on the line to dry and then probably ironed them, too. That aroma of the fresh air and crisp sheets was wonderful. Now it is washer, dryer and back on the bed which does not give that same crisp fresh air experience.
That is a very cute little dog, love that expression in his eye.

You have created a very special moment each time you post your blog. Your writing is always inspiring as you tell us about very simple events. I often think about the corn flakes that your grandmom let you have for supper. Being a grandmom myself I wonder what my grandkids will remember as a simple grandmotherly event.
Connecting people all over…[Read more]
