We had lots of time in waiting rooms last week so I worked on another Automatic Drawing with my trusty Sharpie markers. I started by drawing lines and curves randomly. Then I drew spirals and curls but in a controlled way. I’ve learned that working in a totally automatic mode I do not get a well balanced work when I color it in. I tried to make sure that I had a balanced “weight” of line within each quadrant of the drawing. I am also learning to be a little more systematic and thoughtful during the coloring process. For the first time I had shapes that I changed after applying the first layer of color. You can do this if you go darker. Anyway, with this drawing, I entertained myself over three days of waiting. Yes! No perfect but FUN…

Your drawing is so cheerful. I hope this bodes well for you both. Happy holidays.
Thank you Gretchen. It was a tiring week and working on little pieces like this is fun and keeps my mind from fixating on other things. Art’s a good thing!
This piece just makes me happy to gaze at it! I echo Gretchen’s message………hope the holidays are peaceful for you.
I am hoping this will be a week of rejuvenation for Ken…Thank you for all of your help and support.
I like this, and glad it entertained you. 🙂 So much to see, and my eye just has fun trying to make objects out of the shapes. So much fun. 🙂
I agree – half the fun is finding the hidden shapes. I like to integrate hearts into these cheery pieces. That speaks to me!
A very pleasing piece. Your colour patterning is very effective. Love the blue and white.
Thanks Barry. Your comments mean a lot…good or bad!
