Notes and a Doodle

Significant

Here are a few notes I took while listening to Dennis Prager’s Happy Hour this weekend. My DH turned me on to him about 6 yrs ago, and I’ve been hooked ever since. You can find him Here and Here. Dennis talks about real life issues and he comes from a good moral perspective. See for yourself sometime.

Since I’m in between birdie drawings, and just needed to play with color……Out came the markers and the rulers and the stencils! This probably took me about 3 days to finish. I like that I can work on it, put it away and come back to it right where I left off. As you can see, still in my comfort zone of the more bolder and primary side of the color spectrum.

In my last post, I talked about Right vs. Left Brain thinking. I think I’m still very Left brained. As I was doing this part of the page, I was dissatisfied that I didn’t do these little rainbows in a more “unified” way….Such as, green series next to blue series, then red……you get the picture. But winging it is what I intended to do and since I haven’t found a good marker eraser yet (LOL), this is the result.

I find that rulers, parallel lines, circles tend to fill my doodle pages. I’m not one for shading and highlighting…...yet……this may change!

  1. The famous are rarely significant and the significant are rarely famous.
    This is so true.

    I love this colourful piece...kinda like a roadmap of wisdom. I think the way you did the rainbows is just perfect!

  8. Love the bold colors!

    Do you think adding words to a doodle tends to keep you in your left brain? In other words, does it inhibit the spontaneity of the doodling?

  10. Eileen, that's a good question, I'm not sure....will have to do an experiment. Usually I doodle first then add the journaling, now I'll try journaling first then doodling. Who knows???? I do think I have to encourage (draw out) my right brain though. :D :D

  14. Thanks so much for visiting my little blog. :)
    I love your doodles - what a piece of art! So colorful! I think it's interesting that you think you're left brained because you want to make sense of your art, when mine is totally helter skelter.
    I'll be back! :)

  17. gorgeous blog you have here. i recently entered the world of doodling and just love it.

    love this piece.

    art is both left and right. something like zendoodling or jackson pollock style is more intuitive, but we use the other side for composition and form, knowing which colours won't or will work.
