This week's challenge by my neice Heather was to doodle. I do this on a daily basis. I sit in meetings and draw on my papers to the point that I have to redo my papers.
I have always been one to color code my notes, etc and to add just plain doodles on the sides. So this will be a piece of cake. Ya, Not!!!!
If you look at the results you will say, who did that her third graders. I figured my work would be amazing. So Not.....
I have got to come to the realization that some areas may not be my fortay.
I need to narrow down my artistic endeavors. This has been a problem as of late. Just read some of my past posts.
I have been making journals for all of Robyn's friends at school. I have made mini ones, and larger ones. I have made magnets, coffee cozy's etc. to the point that the girls on Robyn's floor think that I am Martha Stewart. But none of this is my art work or is it. I use papers and objects that others have created. I need to have the picture in front of me and then I can go from there. A blank piece of white paper is overwhelming and scary at this point. So see my doodles, and realize that I still need work on my artist side.. Here's to the ability to keep trying....
my favorite is the last one that says spring. your flowers and colors are cute and fun. i like them. the thing about doodles is that they seem to be reminiscent of the drawings we did as kids, don't they? but is that a bad thing? i don't think so! from my doodles is where i get my most original thoughts. original art. but i first just have to put pencil to paper and draw unintentionally, and let the third grader in my shine through. you did fantastic, auntie!
