This helps me also think about how different people or countries can fit and be together. That hope is important in any group or our world today.

A web of emotions :) We all have them! Does each color represent a different emotion? The older I get, the more I learn that you can experience more than one emotion at a time.

Charlie, you have more imagination than me on this one, but what I can interpret is possibly learning in school has different lines and pathways for different subjects for different students. Try to focus even more on some of those subjects initially less appealing, as there is so much more we all could learn. Lv papa

The ‘Charlie’ profile upon the brick-like wall seems to represent well the strength of your character for your self esteem and confidence, and then also as example for your siblings….keep it up. Lv Papa

Hi Charlie - I think this painting would look great framed in your new bedroom! This reminds me of Art Class in High School. A one-point perspective drawing. An example might be when you look down a hallway and attempt to draw the hall. The hall is wider at the beginning and gets narrower and narrower to the "end of the hallway". Try it sometime. I'm certain you could achieve that goal.

Absolutely love it…those are some of my favorite colors too!

Looks like Sunny in an urban setting like Chicago or Dallas or Miami or San Diego where you visited and may soon return. But Coal City has its beauty too, with soybean and corn all around enriching those crops. Lv papa

Good Morning Charlie - now its obvious you enjoy art - it always comes through in your projects! I see the different dimensions in your collage. It is symmetrical in weight on your print. Do you like the pleasing effect of that or do you like asymmetrical drawings? Do you think you could tell me the three little pig fairy tale again.. I think I may have forgotten .
