Wednesday my former college roommate and long time friend called from Mississippi to see if we had gotten through the hurricane Sandy safe and sound. After I assured her that we were very fortunate and had not even lost power, we began to compare notes about our children and grandchildren.
The longer we talked the more I doodled on a post-it note pad (see doodle above). I was tethered to the kitchen wall phone so my tools were limited. I found a green metallic gel pen, a red Sharpie, a black pen, a pink highlighter marker and a yellow highlighter marker. After we hung up I saw that this was actually pretty good, so I cut it out to enter this week's Paint Party Friday.
Beautiful flowers! :)

I wish I could doodle absent-mindedly like that and still produce something wonderful like this. Lovely work Faye.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty! It's fun to see what we can do with a few randomly-chosen colors. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteI'd say it's jolly great. What a lovely thing to do while nattering on the phone. Happy PPF.
ReplyDeleteyour conversation with a good friend brought about a beautiful piece of art, must have been a good chat!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty flowers. At first I thought they were poinsettias. So good to hear you had no problem with the hurricane!
ReplyDeleteNice job. I have said it before somewhere that my doodles never look like anything but chicken scratch. :)) HPPF
ReplyDeleteWow - got your right brain to just disconnect from the left!! Lovely doodle - love that you did it with just what you could reach!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got through the storm so well and love this little doodle... funny how our brain tells our hand what to do even when we aren't paying that much attention... this is lovely...xx
ReplyDeleteInteresting how this little piece of art was created. Great work! And good thing you stayed safe with the crazy weather.
ReplyDeleteWow excellent little doodle! Goes to show that art comes from a deeper place and sometimes letting it flow free produces the best pieces!!

It's better than just "pretty good"! Maybe you should keep a few drawing supplies beside that phone from now on.
