More Doodling

Doodling is my current "go to" journaling when I don't have time to journal. It's a low pressure way to continue to use my art supplies which are always nearby without feeling like I've got to produce something finished or "profound." I also expect the concept of doodling will make it's way into my "regular" art journaling as more time & space allow. Meanwhile I'll continue the low rent "artful reflection" of simply journaling in my mini journal.

Doodling for No Particular Reason

One of the hardest things for me to do is...nothing. I'm not a sitter. I don't idly pass life away doing nothing. As an exercise in "being" (which also means DOING NOTHING) I've been doodling for no particular reason. Just to doodle.

Flower doodles. Micron pens on a previously painted page (watercolors) in my mini art journal (3-1/2x5). 

Paisley shapes: micron pens in multiple colors. 

Unwinding at the end of the day doing a page of mindless doodles is unexpectedly relaxing. No stress. No need to "produce" something profound or "artistic."  Just doodling for the fun of it.
