Discover the magic of the “CHARLIE’S HEAD” picture book series

PURCHASE THE ENTIRE SET OF CHARLIE’S HEAD (SOFT COVER ONLY)

A synopsis of the Charlie’s Head Series

In CHARLIES’ HEAD  we meet a boy named Charlie who learns through many mishaps that he has a powerful magic inside of his head. He is fearful of this at first but soon learns he can control it. He befriends his imagination which leads him to find the magic of creation

In CHARLIE GOES TO SEA, Charlie teaches his best friend Ellie  how to create anything she desires with her imagination. Together they imagine a colorful brave new world. By doing this, Ellie conquers her fear of crabs and now able to save her precious goldfish. They soon realize that two imaginations are more powerful than one and when they work in tandem, they effortlessly create change.

In CHARLIE GETS SPOOKED, Charlie, his mom and two sisters travel to Salem Massachusetts for Halloween. Suddenly their Mom disappears. He and his little siblings find themselves lost in a costume parade when an evil witch abducts them. She attempts to steal their imaginative power and bottle it up so she can sell it as a powerful potion to her friends! The kids team up to defeat her combining their imagination and will to win. After this frightening ordeal, they realize how much power the imagination actually holds and that it belongs only to them. Charlie and his sisters vow to always protect their new found power.


THE CHARLIE’S HEAD SERIES teaches that all human beings have a special magic within themselves. You only need to find the missing element to activate it. Even the famous ALBERT EINSTEIN knew this.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge”

Albert Einstein

Until next time,

Stay Creative!

Elusive…

Hello friends. It’s been quite some time but I’m back to blogging. So much has happened since I last blogged (just a photo… sorry) in July. By the way June & July were absolutely amazing. I camped for 47 nights. AMAZING.

I will post those pics in another blog post later this week.

Because I took time out to find myself my art stepped up a notch or two. My confidence has grown as an artist and I’ve now added into my art arsenal Prismacolor Colored Pencils!!!

Below you’ll see my desk …. with Novel in progress all over the wall…. yet another project I’m trying desperately to finish.

So yeah… I have the completion of my novel…. going strong but more work than I  ever could have imagined!!! NANOWRIMO has helped. 😉

As for artwork…… Im working on a few dog portrait commissions….. Photos in next post.

Of course I’m STILL working The Rusty Palette Paint Parties because why wouldn’t I???

I absolutely LOVE teaching art in a private party home or bar setting. Email me if you’re looking for this type of party… FUN. erintwhalen@gmail.com

So please, if you’d like to enjoy making art or would like to commission a special gift for someone this holiday season, email me or call 401-206-7499.

Thanks again for following my blog. Ive got a new blogging schedule … no matter the situation, I will post at least 3x weekly. This is something I’ve decided to do because nothing is better than blogging about teaching and making art….with the exception of actually making and teaching art.

So lets make sure we meet her 3x weekly and get our ART done!

Creatively yours,

Erin T. Whalen

Teaching on Wednesday evenings at Lyn-Art Studios

Hello everyone!

I’m finally settling in at a brand new studio and the great news is… its not mine!

Why is this great news you ask? Well, it’s simply because the man who owns it runs the other part of the art studio business…. FRAMING! That’s right, when you are finished painting your masterpiece see Dan (the owner) for the finishing touches… a beautiful frame.

Please note that Wednesday July 15 will be a drink and paint session. 35.00 gets you a 16×20 canvas, easel, paint, brushes, palette, and instruction to create a beautiful beach sunset.

Each Wednesday I hold a class from 6-8pm for those who want to learn more about art. Any kind of art. If you bring your own supplies the cost is only $15.00. For those of you who are new to painting or who don’t want to bother with supplies you can use mine however your cost will be $25.00. Either path you choose I will be available to guide you in whatever medium you choose to explore. Pastels, Acrylic Paint, Oil Paint etc…. whatever you need to learn I can guide you.

Just give me a call at 401-300-6036 so I can sign you up!

I look forward to teaching you some skills to work on so you can grow your art talent!

Cheers!
Erin
