I picked this dandelion on my walk yesterday and held it up to the sun.
I couldn't look at it directly while I clicked several photos but I was tickled I got this one just right.
Sometimes there is magic in something this simple.
With a nudge from Dotty's recent post....I paused on the patio for some slow drawing.
I started with a watercolor from my stash and did some simple outlining as I watched and listened to the birds. It was calming and meditative.
The body heals with play. The mind heals with laughter, and the spirit heals with joy. Proverb
This was where I landed yesterday.
And this is where I landed today. More doodling...and a little colored pencil shading. It was calming and meditative.
My rainbow of the day....as seen on our way to the downtown rally.
MaryAnn, thanks for the nod to my post; love where you took your slow drawing … which expands my internal concept of slow drawing. Your piece is singing a happy song to me : )
ReplyDeleteSlow drawing....and slow anything is good for me. Thanks for the nudge.
DeleteMaryAnn, your drawings and your insights are much appreciated. I love that photo and your "doodles" which are so lovely. Wishing you a joyful Sunday! Judy
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy! JoyFUL Sunday to you too!
DeleteFascinating but that dandelion is exquisite!
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise! I was pretty tickled with the photo catch!
DeleteYour doodle is phenomenal, and ranks much higher than a "doodle". But I guess one woman's doodle is another woman's fantastic creation.

Awww shucks! Thanks Kathy! I'm actually quite fond of it too.
DeleteI am amazed with your stunning picture of the dandelion puff. It looks magical. And goodness, your slow drawing is so fun and full of interest.
ReplyDeleteThanks on both! I was tickled catching the sun just right....and the drawing project was so fun. More slow drawing....doodling and painting on the patio for sure!
