LILY DOODLE

Yes, another doodle! It is so cold in my studio, damp. It's outside and really the elements have been rough on it. I did get the roof fixed , thank heavens, before all the rains but it is still very damp! Yes, I do have a heater but it is going to take some time to warm it up. So I sat here in the dining room at the table and just doodled today....again......I must get to work, have paintings to paint for a work shop coming up!! Maybe tomorrow, that will be two days of sun! My sister Julie just sent over a bunch of beautiful fabric for my bags too! Now, that's something I can do tomorrow and not go to the studio!! HA!

CUP DOODLE

I can't stop!! I really must do some serious work but I leave at the end of the week to do a workshop and every thing I want to start requires a longer attention span than I have right now!!
In between the doodles I'm running here and there and packing and just can't concentrate. I know you can totally understand this. Sooooooo in the meantime I will continue to doodle and start new work next week when hopefully I will be over my love affair( temporarily) with the water color crayons! Have you tried them yet? My favorites are the Caran d' Ache. The white is just wonderful, softens colors.
Ok now what else to doodle???

DOODLES

Yep! More "doodles"! Small little crayon paintings. The largest is 5"x5". I am having fun with these. I already said that didn't I?

SEASCAPE DOODLES

All small little sketches with water color crayons. Very relaxing and fun. Experiment with them, you have a bit more control when you are using the crayons too. Just have fun!

DOODELING

4"x 3" water color crayons on Bristol paper. What fun!

I went to my daughter Heather's for several days last week and painted in her beautiful gallery studio www.Heatherroddyartgallery.com. I didn't want to do a large oil and really wanted to just play. I bought some water color crayons at the art store and brushes and just had fun sketching.

Have you tried them? I sketch my paintings in crayon on paper and use those sketches as a guide. Well, to have them be water color with a few swipes of your brush is delicious! I have to get back to work next week but just wanted to put a few of these fun doodles up to share.
