Happiest New Year Ever! ! Hope you guys are enjoying it already, warm and tucked in with your cocoa! Your painting looks delicious! I can hardly wait to try your new DaVinci palette! Charlie Blue is all joy!

A very Merry Christmas and the Happiest New Year to you Charlie and Philippe and pup Elliott! I ❤️ the lights too! I hope your holiday is blessed beyond measure and so fun singing! I put Elvis on my phone ringer singing ‘Silent Night!’ Trying to paint my way through the holidays

What joy Charlie! I have lots of ephemera after so many years on the planet!😆 I mostly pick up rocks, glass and wood now. I’m considering throwing some back for the next lucky kid😄😁 As far as my “antique finds” go, I finally had to stop because the discussion of finite space came up, and I found out I really, really enjoy an annual, sometimes…[Read more]

What a joy to be with your family! I’m so happy for you guys to get go be with them! We all are really grateful to be doing those simple things that mean so much!
PS mice are my absolute favorite, and I see three of yours at my house everyday! So much joy!!

ELLIOT! Happiest Birthday Ever, you lucky dog! Enjoy your lovely family!

I love the illuminators and illuminated manuscripts! I hope you get to see ‘The Secret of Kells,’ it’s such a gorgeous film. It inspired me to get back to art😏😌

My family was just reminiscing about showing up at my grandparents home in Maine, hugging, kissing, running to the freezer where my Grammy had stockpiled: shortbread thumbprint preserve cookies, date rollup cookies; and these chocolate-coconut-magic squares. That and fresh bread every morning with coffee. There must have been something else…[Read more]

I love the idea of a rusty old relic that can rust! It will return to the elements and become art, a rabbit warren, a place where people stop to remember history and the impermanence of it all. I think the bunnies are fabulous as they stop to ponder, sniff and have lunch🤗
CONGRATS on #7!!🎉 I hope the three of you go celebrate!-some more-sounds…[Read more]

Love this excited kitty! My niece and nephew just crossed the “big jump” off their bucket list, I felt a little ill watching on IG!🤢 but thrilled they got to do it, she looked so stoked! I love a nice walk in a new land, a new restaurant, a new painting assignment! 😆😄🤣 Just re-read your 8/2018 post about your little painting travel companions on…[Read more]

That’s a lot like my mom’s 1st car (the 56 Chevy! ) But it was a 78 Olds Delux Royale we used to stuff (and yes the trunk too) to go to the drive in🤣 I too could also hear the tune and see the dancing snacks! A bucket of popcorn and a bucket sized soda were my guilty pleasure but I never turned down an ice cream bon bon (don’t tell Philippe I…[Read more]

OMGOSH! I just saw your mice! 8/6/22 (Sometimes I think you’re brother from another mother!)

Thank you so, so much Charlie and all you ambassadors of World Watercolor Month! So many lovely moments shared! I also finished out with a golden sunset from my edge of the World🌅

Oh Charlie I ate some doozies when I was a kid too. Bologna, so much bologna! Rolled up with cheese cold or fried over the burner on a fork! And when the ice cream man (the mostly sober one) came rolling up, out of tune, we ran for the curb waving and squeeling. I usually needed some chocolate…anything, but one year he had 7up Popsicles. I…[Read more]

I have your lovely prints of mousies in my office/art/library space and I’m proud of you every day! I think of how hard you’ve worked to bring joy and art to others and it inspires me to work for the same things, thank you, be very proud of you!🤗

Awesome review! I’m so glad to spread the word about #DaVinci and #Davincimoment , your work really showed the range, I especially loved the light in the trees!🤗

Love this review, DaVinci is The paint of my basic pallette! Your work really showed it’s vibrancy and versatility! Charlie has a signature trio and of course Denise Soden also has an extensive eco-friendly pallette. DaVinci has so many great opportunities to enjoy an amazing product (and at a reasonable price.) The huge plus is the family…[Read more]

Oh Charlie thanks! Pressed for time and creativity this Summer, I’ve been jamming along but feeling less confident of what I turn out, so you’ve talked me off the ledge!
Thanks!

You are a genius!

You are going to get some ice cream😵‍💫

Just want to run in the grass now!
