On A Doodle Roll

i am on a roll...Michele inspired me with her doodle automatic face and moving parts drawings...i have some very large boards that i was going to use for another project but didnt like it so i took a chance and painted shapes on it...a large scale doodle...in the past i have used cardboard but i dont have cardboard at the moment and i dont want the big boards to go to waste...about 5 or 6 feet long, 3 feet wide...i have one 11 feet long...will work on that 'tomorrow'. i am excited!!!! surprisingly i really like what's happening and i can pop out pieces by making extra pieces in wood and screwing them to board...these are photoshopped, part paint, part computer colored...the first image is a drawing that i see can be cut out of wood...second is painting in process...

Doodle Drawings and Commentary

I decided to go back to 'just doodling'(which includes writing down my thoughts and feelings as i go along)...today very comforting...i discovered some interesting feelings that i 'allowed' myself to just feel...not easy feeling 'disturbed'...but the staying with that feeling opened me up to seeing myself more clearly and actually connecting more deeply with myself...which is the whole point of making art for me...

hoping you can read the handwritten commentary...

Automatic Drawing

trying this automatic drawing thing...very calming...
the pencil only drawing was a few days ago...red one today...i see i have a style, or theme happening...scribbling with pen or pencil first then shading around scribbles...i have no agenda, and i have given myself permission to stop coloring at ANY POINT.

Izzy and Shoobie In The Red Rocking Chair

What a lovely thing to see my little kitties cuddling together on this chair. Usually only one of them curls up on chair.  Must be close to winter.

Comics a la Lynda Barry

Bought Lynda Barry's "Syllabus". Trying to NOT be overwhelmed by all her notes and images...found a little humor here...
