This week's doodle is incredibly graphic, probably because of the heavy black line. No fine lines in evidence today. It features a very large central mandala and I always find them to be visually compelling. What I like about this doodle though, are the fan shapes I made to fill in the space.
I wish I had one that looked like that. Then I could sit out on my front porch and fan myself when it gets too hot. Not that it would ever happen, but I like the fantasy.
I have been up to a whole lot of nothing. Messing about in the garden, running up in Forest Park, making homemade granola... I am having a lazy summer artistically speaking. But Forest Park is so lovely that I am bound to get inspired. Besides, I am having a really good time!
And there is no better use for summer than to have a good time.
Summer is lazily progressing.
In the spirit of not fighting Summer to maintain my schedule, I am thinking of changing my Doodle of the Week posting day to Monday for the summer. I keep missing the weekend. Since I think that eventually I will start missing Mondays and it will just sort of naturally migrate back to Friday by the time fall rolls around.
It sounds like a good plan to me.
This week's doodle is an enormous carpet doodle. I think this is probably the largest one ever, I like that a few of the motifs change in size and that there are several that get added as it goes along. The medallions were done as a part of the carpet. They were not random medallion doodles that happened to get swallowed by a carpet doodle.
I got a new cell phone which doesn't come with a manual. I like the phone, but it is very irritating when they just include a DVD. It rapidly goes through the steps. This is no problem when you already know where the buttons are, but is confusing when you don't.
It took a while to dawn on me that there is supposed to be an audio component to the DVD, because my computer won't (or can't) play it.
