journal sketches

..or just plain doodles I should say. Good thing I had pre-painted some pages or this would really be boring. No power of concentration was left for the journal pages this last few days, too much other thinking was going on. I had my Pigma pens and colored pencils with me and I just doodled. 1-30-09 sticking with the faces and adding the doodles...1-31-09 how's this for boring? 2-1-09 back to the faces...2-2-09 this one had meditative power behind it, one hour of dance class, as I was waiting for my daughter and chaos of other kids and mothers was swirling around me.2-3-09 this was the 45 minute dance class of the other daughter and chaos of mothers chatting loudly. Amazing what doodling will help me drown out sometimes. Maybe I'll make it a habit to bring this red book with me during the dance classes and just doodle until my wrist hurts?

Delightful doodling...I love doing this too and while away lots of so-so TV viewing doing same. The big blue swirl of chaos is wonderful!

I love these Natalya, and am now feeling some inspiration myself. Thanx!

These are so intricate, I'm not sure they count as doodles. Very cool.

Exciting to see your bold use of color evolving. Scrolling through all your recent journal sketches and color work is a real treat!
