Don’t forget baba ghanoush with pita – delish!!! A refreshing snack! Those eggplants are ready to go!

Remy, thanks for recounting your journey to your present expression in watercolor. I really like the atmosphere you put into your work, love the skies! All the best!

OK, yummy trees! Broccoli is delicious especially with the melted cheese. And I like how you used little dots of pure colors in the broc head, a pointillist/impressionist technique that works so well in watercolor! It makes the little florets sparkle in the light! And what a fortuitous error, buying too many peaches…. Nice touch!

Like your cat…..ah-choo! ah-choo! No cats for me! But the chill attitude is perfect; we should always schedule in that down time everyday,just to reset the mind. Stay cool, Charlie!

Love the nook concept and that chair looks well lived in, it’s traveled by imagination all over the universe! And I see the lava lamp, a blast from the past. Enjoy your next book and may it take you to a new place never before imagined!

Great happy birds, fun to watch at the feeder. And your birthday wish is so pertinent for today: that our artistic creations can shine a bit of light in the current darkness. Thanks so much.

Bon Anniversaire, Charlie! And may God grant you many more years! That’s a tasty looking cupcake, sprinkles and all. The metal cupcake cup looks familiar, as you showed us your technique in the Karen Abend sketching video – many thanks for that! My favorite “gateau de fête” is yellow cake with real butter cream chocolate frosting, right from the…[Read more]

Thanks for the excellent macaws. I was stopped cold by your note on the relative lifespans of our animal friends. Someone who takes on a parrot as a pet is looking at a lifelong partnership– all Your life long! Dogs unfortunately have much shorter lives and i once hard a child explain why: he said that dogs have happy lives because all the bad…[Read more]

That is one tall baby, and handsome too! And thanks for pointing out the importance of daydreaming to one’s success in life. The best thoughts often come when you’re just sitting there and “gathering wool!”

Love the aerial view of the snowman and the artist’s ability to pul many images into one painting that really clicks. And the process of preserving puzzles as works of art hits home. My wife’s late uncle was a puzzle fanatic and he would use Modpodge to coat and and glue them together. Later in life he shared many of these with relatives and we…[Read more]

That’s a true Charlie Brown Christmas tree! What wonderful, warm memories watching the film each year with my family. We have a few little decorations that we cherish, one a snowman my daughter made in the first grade. He is a toilet paper tube with cotton balls glued to it, and his face is made of bits of colored construction paper and glued on…[Read more]

Question: what is that hamster doing in my hot chocolate??
Answer: Backstroke!!
Wonderful images you have drawn with your words, all colored golden by love.

Just sitting and gazing at the lighted tree, filling with the warmth of memories. Surrounded and enveloped by the darkness of the long winter night. This is the most meaningful of meditation times.

The cardinal and pine cones so invoke the spirit of the Season. Sounds like you will have plenty of time after this week to find your inner Charlie. Enjoy the hunt!

Every trickster needs a rest now and then, I love that . Yet, there is still is a little gleam in his eye and a smirk on his face. He is ready to go. He reminds me of one of the foxes we have here in our community, living in the wooded area behind our mailbox. They have a glow about them this time of year, especially when running thru the snow…[Read more]

Hope you really enjoyed the cobbler, it looks delish! We wiped out the apple pie and are now working on the pineapple pie – getting ready to begin decorating. And it’s time to pull out my favorite Christmas album, the Christmas Revels. We are expecting a snowstorm Sunday pm thru Tuesday am so we’ll be in the holiday spirit, about 1/2 foot deep or…[Read more]

Hey, that looks just like the flock of turkeys that just ran thru my back yard! Here in central Mass. we have lots of wildlife including turkeys and they are fun to watch. But even more fun to eat! Our dinner was a bit less intimate than yours; we had a total of seven, and it was wonderful time. And as you have pointed out, memories of the…[Read more]

A fine pineapple, good enough to eat! I’m sitting here checking out all the detail on it, and enjoying the aroma from the kitchen of the pineapple pie my wife is baking! All of these sensory inputs triggering our memories of holidays past, and melding them all together into a pleasant melange. Have a marvelous Thanksgiving and the best to your…[Read more]

Thanks for another turtle, you do them so well. It’s a great view of life: just being YOU and gliding along under the surface of the sea, peaceful, tranquil, loving life.

That’s a great sundae, and I notice the waffle cone motif. I think you did eventually get a real waffle cone maker, yes? This week as we prepare for the Big Feast, we also plan for all the visits of folks we haven’t seen in a while. Hand them a slice of pie, give them a kiss and a hug and send them on their way! Thank the Lord and pass the gravy!…[Read more]
