| Fairy Tale Castle No. 2, Framed |
Here is Fairy Tale Castle No. 2!
I wanted to make something... well... generic isn't the right word. I wanted to make a painting that could be a part of any number of stories, something pretty to give a bit of form to the vague imaginings swirling through the library. This here is a castle to defend from dragons, a castle with magical gardens and secret doors, a castle home to fair ladies and elaborate tournaments, or enchanted and filled with curious creatures. It's there to be a window to whatever story the patrons want to tell or hear or read. I hope it works!

I love the interview of you at PPF! Such talent! Your work of the castle painting is beautiful. Seems perfect for a scene for Disney! Have a great day!
Oh My Gosh, Charlie! That is the same frame I bought for your "Steampunk Librarian" painting (I was trying to find a vintage one but then I saw this one at the craft store and thought it was perfect!)
Your castle painting is beautiful... All of your work, no matter the subject, is like stepping into a fantastic dream!
Thank you for your wonderful PPF interview :)

Hi Charlie, It's so nice to meet you. I popped in by way of Paint Party Friday, and, as a teacher of literature and a painter, I am completrely smitten with your work. I hope that you keep creating pictures for stories yet to be written (maybe someday YOU will write them)!
Your castle painting is fantastic! Congratulations on being featured this week on PPF. I like your robot painting, too. I'm impressed that you use such a limited palette. It shows in the quality of your painting.
What a perfect illustration for a library! I would have stared at that as a kid, and it would have set my imagination spinning.
your castle is magical!
Charlie, your castle looks enchanting and magical to me! Your work is beautiful - as always. Yes, i can't see why this wouldn't work perfectly. Beautiful. xoxo

I think it's wonderful! Certainly not generic but all encompassing.
Beautiful composition, lovely, enchanting castle, love the idea that it could refer to many different fairy tales!
Wow!! I love it. It is really magical. I just love looking at your work. It is so inspiring. :)
Very magical for sure!! So many stories do start with a castle!! Great idea!! Wonderful job!
