Daily Doodle 8/20/22

It has been a long time since I have done a daily doodle. It’s something I always want to keep doing, but since the world has pretty much gone back to its pre-pandemic pace, it is hard to find the time and energy. However, I should remember that such creative activities always create their ownContinue reading “Daily Doodle 8/20/22”

Daily Doodle for 11-19-20

I call this one “A Very COVID Thanksgiving”. I guess I’ve made a political cartoon. This is an image in my head this holiday season. I truly hope people don’t gather outside of their immediate household, or their “quarantine pod” for Thanksgiving this year, because of the INCREDIBLY HIGH INCREASE IN COVID CASES EVERYWHERE. JustContinue reading “Daily Doodle for 11-19-20”

Daily Doodle for 11-10-20

I call this one “Technicolor Flower”. Created in Adobe Fresco, this flower uses oil and water color brushes in various layers, as well as masking. There is also some layer blending going on. There is something truly soothing to me about creating textures. And flowers. Creating flowers is one of the most focused and freeingContinue reading “Daily Doodle for 11-10-20”

Daily Doodle for 8/13/20

I call this one Ascension. It’s an image that came to me.

This was done in Adobe Fresco. Again I really enjoy the many brushes andContinue reading “Daily Doodle for 8/13/20”

Daily Doodle for 8/7/20

Here is something I see a lot these days. I work in the performing arts industry, so the transition to virtual performances is all over the place. It’s all we can do these days. This is a “Zoom” version of the classic theatre symbol of the Comedy and Tragedy masks. I am interested in exploringContinue reading “Daily Doodle for 8/7/20”

Daily Doodle for 7/24/20

I really wanted to do something abstract and simple today. Something that I could zone out to and not get caught up in details, styles, or perspectives. A mandala came to mind. Mandalas are an ancient concept that has many meanings to many cultures. I was aware that a mandala’s creation can be a formContinue reading “Daily Doodle for 7/24/20”
