In the many conversations I have with my fellow art teachers, there's always a common thread of seeking to understand how the materials I use are meaningfully connected. Most recently, the question of whether to not the music behind these drawings has influenced my composition... The question came from my music teacher friend and she … Continue reading Age is a Mindset – Sheet-music Scribbles 2023
A Bulgle? Beagle-bulldog mix – Music-book Doodles 2022
My new puppy is a Maltese-poodle mix and everyone who sees him asks the question: "what is it?" And then they tell me stories of other poodle mixes, which seem to be collectively called doodles. It reminded me of when I was studying genetics (back in the 1980's - technologically ancient times, apparently) and we … Continue reading A Bulgle? Beagle-bulldog mix – Music-book Doodles 2022
Purposefulness – Music-book Doodles 2022
I believe I've drawn this one before, maybe even a few times, but always with a different intention or meaning. This bird is intently moving forward towards its destination and the noise (music) of the world around it, won't distract it from its course. I'm feeling this is a subconscious message to myself in the … Continue reading Purposefulness – Music-book Doodles 2022
Unstable – Music-book Doodles 2022
In my frantic browsing on Pinterest, I often swipe past art that comes back to me later because of some unsuspected trigger. This is the case for a bunch of amorphous forms I've drawn... maybe the large block of colour behind them reminds me of Mark Rothko's fields of colour, where my imagination wanders in … Continue reading Unstable – Music-book Doodles 2022

Passive Indifference – Music-book Doodles 2022
Maybe there are many stories to tell about these two who stand side-by-side; we can feel the attachment between them, the attachment they feel, but perhaps don't understand themselves. Both are looking straight ahead, but we can feel an intense awareness they have for the other's presence. If they had hands, we would surely see … Continue reading Passive Indifference – Music-book Doodles 2022
Pink Cow – Music-book Doodles 2022
Why does pink pop against green so extraordinarily well and yet these colours compliment each other beautifully... in my eye. I have to say that I don't feel the. same of all green or pink hues, but. bright green against. light pink are my favourite combination... I use them together to make very satisfying skin … Continue reading Pink Cow – Music-book Doodles 2022
Obviously, Cow – Music-book Doodles 2022
Well, what else could it possibly be, right? he page is full of cow! It's staring right at you and emoting cow. It's a prehistoric cave drawing and a modern pictograph of cow. If I were to remove the colours it would still be cow. This is the child-like essence of the subject I love … Continue reading Obviously, Cow – Music-book Doodles 2022
Happiness – Music-book Doodles 2022
Ok, so this is really. more about the great swelling of happiness I feel when I see a sausage dog (Teckle, daschund, etc..) waddle by. They tickle my funny. bone and embody my love of silly. I think my mind transforms them into funny cartoon characters and my inner child squeals with laughter at their … Continue reading Happiness – Music-book Doodles 2022
