Days of Ink

I haven't done a watercolor in a long while, in fact, since my Dad passed away but I'm still getting some ink on paper time. Here's some of the past daily doodles done in my mini moleskine. Some days show the weather, my pens - one which was a very leaky fountain pen!, a busy weekend, another state for marriage equality and other important matters like a good margarita. I hope to get back into the swing of water coloring but for now the mindless doodling is doing it's job. Cheers!

Daily Doodle Journal

In the beginning of this year I picked up a small Moleskine calendar book and decided to use it as a daily doodle journal. Surprisingly, I've been keeping up with it fairly regularly. There were a few days that I didn't do a doodle but lately it's turned into a habit. For the past two days I'm sketching whatever pen I'm using for the day but I'll be able to go back in the year and also see when the dow hit it's all time high, when I went to Palm Springs, when a package of Donut Shop coffee arrived or when it was just a doodle day. Fun stuff for sure.  

Big Wave

Doodle Challenge

I did this for the Sketchbook Challenge for January. The theme was "Passing the Time Doodles".  I have a whole sketchbook devoted to my doodling time which is usually done while watching tv.

Meet Gus and Milo

Yesterday it rained all day but Gus and Milo were able to

stay dry under a huge umbrella they found on the deck.

Some Zens

I was signed up for a zen doodle class this weekend but unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), the instructor had to cancel so I went to the next best option - you tube. I didn't realize doodling had taken on a formal trade. Imagine that....I should have saved all my doodle work from my years of taking notes in school. Smack the word Zen in front of the doodle and it magically transforms into books you can purchase, designs you call your own and instructors getting paid to teach people how to..........doodle.

So I've started a Zen Doodle book to give it a try. Here are a few of what I did this weekend. What's nice about zen doodling is I can create while comfortably sitting on my couch half watching some boring tv show. It is quite relaxing and mind escaping so it works for me.
