Uuuufffff Charlie, I really love this one,
😍😍😍✌️🤗🤗🤗…. Great job friend!!!!

I love that you sketched a bit of Spring time, Charlie! It is cold here too. We might walk up to snow but the bulk of it should go north of us.

It’s a blackburnian warbler! Excellent! It snowed here too. I’m now ready for spring! 😂😂

So gorgeous!!!! I love the colors in your flowers and the bird is so sweet aweeeee!! 🙂 Spring is my fav time of the year just seems to be the most prefect weather and all of nature is doing its awesomeness 🙂

Exceptionally beautiful painting today! I love the thought of Phineas instituting a “poop strike.”

Nice painting Charlie! The colors are well played with the bird as well as with the flowers. Great job!

Lovely painting.

So pretty! Love the colors your chose. Normally I would be so jealous that you got snow. However, I am heading to DL later this week and would not want snow to get in the way. We had a lovely Fall Oregon weekend…..cloudy and a bit of rain. The only thing messing with my head is that it has been warm 50″s. For some reason I expect it to be bitter cold and bundle up, only to strip some of my layers. Must be from watching all those Hallmark Christmas movies. Hahahaha!

Good watercolor work…. Me gusta tu estilo!!!! Felicitaciones!!!!

Thanks for sharing your story with us today Silvia. It is always a joy to see your beautiful art!!! 😀

I am very encouraged to know that you will be teaching children – I am sure they will be inspired by you and not limited as often happens in their formative years. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome unique art. I like it all especially the cat, since I do have two of my own. And your first art piece would be my second choice if I had to choose. 😀

Thanks Silvia for sharing your story and your beautiful artwork!

Silvia, your lively compositions and fabulous colors make me want to dance! Thank you for sharing your creative journey with us!

Thanks chasingamemory! Glad you liked this!

Stunning work! Thank you for sharing it along with your personal story.

I love your octopus, Charlie. Not all their appendages are visible all the time. You could have used that argument. 😉

I just this evening read an article and watched a video about an octopus that was filmed while he was sleeping and he kept changing color, leading scientists to surmise that he was dreaming! Pretty cool! But dogs dream, so I don’t know why they would think other creatures wouldn’t dream.

Love the way you used just 2 colors to create this awesome work!

Go Inky! I hope he (or she) is out there living life to its fullest, just as we should be, but I’m surprised at their short life span. I’ve read that octopi are very intelligent (I hope that is true), and your Inky painting is spot on. 🐙 💖

Consider me ashamed for having not bothered to learn about the octopus. Folks here on doodlewash are far more knowledgeable than I regarding these remarkable creatures! And now I have totally reversed my opinion of them and see them in a much more positive light! Golly, here I am thinking I am an open-minded person and am just reminded by you and others that they deserve my respect! I am chastened!

Very nice use of the two-color palette!

I love this. I can almost see the tentacles writhing around. Great colours.

Yay to Inky’s escape! Your sketch is outstanding.

I told you earlier this year about that show on Public tv. It gave me a whole new look at octopuses and I love them! I always imagine them purple, even though I now know they adjust their color to their environment. Wouldn’t that be fun to do? Nice job on inky!

Inky is a beautiful octopus, Charlie. I hope Inky can meet my Airy & Jack turtle and Bibi octopus which alway loves to camouflage he he 😙

Love him! Beautiful.

Your octopus is magnificent! All artists should be like an octopus – trying 8 different things at once and slithering in search of yet new things to try! (and wouldn’t it be fabulous to have 8 arms? Wow! Can you imagine the artwork that would be created?)

I liked Inky on instagram but he looks even better on my big screen.

haha!! Octopus is a blender!! YAY! I love those days…. we need to collaborate again my friend! 😃💕 And yay to just trying… I feel like I’ve made progress, but not the leaps and bounds sometimes I expected, so I just keep sketching onward! 😉

Sweet mouse 🐭💙

Aweeeeeeee, the little mouse is so super cute!!!!!!!!! And fabulous nuts!!! Pecans are one of my favorites too. 🙂

Fabulous, Charlie! I am actually hoping not to see mice this winter. Last winter they eat out dishwasher which was a very expensive fix! They were searching for water and ate through hoses. We had to replace the dishwasher! 😟 Our house has a constant smell of mint to try to repel them.

Hehe! Phineas must have made a deal with them! Lovely pecans, cute mouse ! What awesome colors!!

Charlie, not only are your illustrations beautifully done, but your stories are truly captivating! I am in awe of your many talents! I find myself looking forward to your stories as much as a favorite TV show or movie! Thank you for sharing your talents with us; the world is a brighter place because of them!

Loved both the post and the doodle! Funny that Phineas could think of taking in boarders! Your words are filled with warmth, befitting the season. Always a pleasure to read your posts daily. Pecans are something we don’t get in our part of the world. But when my Uncle visits us from the USA, he usually gets these for us. I love the ones that are chocolate-covered!

This is so neat and cute…love it…..

This morning I opened the cupboard door under my kitchen sink and there was a big ole mouse in the trap we have set there. I feel sad for the ones we trap, but I can’t come up with a better solution. For years we didn’t have mice in our house, but now that the feral cat population is at two or three, they’re back. Although, one of our indoor cats loves to go in the garage and catch mice. She’s really good at it.

I adore pecan pie! And it’s the easiest pie to make. I’ll probably make two for thanksgiving. It’s my favorite breakfast food the day after.

Wonderful little mouse and pecans! I love pecan pie and the holiday season, too.

Another excellent doodle and story.

Awesome so beautiful Charlie mouse is soo cute.

He’s so cute! I love your pecans too. I like pecans, but I never think to buy them just to eat. I might have to pick up. Holiday food traditions are so funny. Same food every year, whether anyone anyone really wants it. A few years ago, I quit making a whole ham for our little family Christmas dinner. Instead I buy deli ham and make hot ham and cheese sandwiches on wonderful bakery rolls. The two men in my house are just as happy. Momma’s happy because I don’t have to spend alll day in the kitchen making a bunch of food they could careless about. The sandwich idea was actually my husband’s. We have a big meal with the in-law’s Christmas eve.

Thanks so much, Janet! 😃💕Yeah, things seems to change so much these days and distance is never a good thing. But the vision of your parents dancing the polka for hours is so heart-warming! What a beautiful tradition!

Thanks, Lisa! 😃💕 Yeah, it’s funny that I grew up much farther north, but my family is now in Texas. Yet, we always opted for pecans!

Thanks, Sarah! 😃💕 Glad you enjoyed this one! I think I spend my life torn between awe and desire. Not a bad way to live actually. 😉 hehe

Yay to pecan pie and mice outdoors! 😃💕 hehe And awesome that your daughter has the Star Wars Lego calendar. I had to make a choice this year so I’m a bit jealous of the porg in a Santa hat that she’ll get at the end! lol

Thanks, Jessica! Glad you enjoyed this! 😃 I don’t really do videos, but it’s something I hope to try more next year. 😉

Thanks so much, Gaina! 😃💕 Yay to always playing. I’m quite sure that keeps us young. And your holiday tradition sounds like a ton of fun!! I adore this time of year!

Just love this little mouse!!!

Beautiful mouse Charlie! They often give you a very tough time when they are small and if they are in your house O my 😡 they eat what not your clothes etc!😉

I’ve never tasted pecan nut, I’ve just catch to it in fairy tails when I was a child. But I’ve loved to hear its name appearing in each stories. Your sketch is really lovely , Charlie 🥰
