    Mary McDonough commented on the post, An Apple A Day 3 years, 5 months ago

    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.

    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.

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, GUEST ARTIST: "Dripped In Watercolor" by Ruchika Juneja 3 years, 5 months ago

    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!

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, Playing Games 3 years, 5 months ago

    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.

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, The Joy Of Popping Bubble Wrap 3 years, 5 months ago

    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.

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, Laughing Until It Hurts 3 years, 5 months ago

    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.

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, Watching Birds 3 years, 6 months ago

    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]

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, GUEST ARTIST: "The Element of Surprise" by Sandra Strait 3 years, 6 months ago

    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]

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, A Freshly Made Bed 3 years, 6 months ago

    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.

    Mary McDonough commented on the post, Day 31 – My Favorite Moment 3 years, 6 months ago

    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]
