When I get overwhelmed or stuck I tend to fall back on my quirky doodles. I didn't take a photo of the beginning pencil marks on the page, but these are the images that appeared to me amongst the marks, which I colored in with acrylic paints and a black Zig marker. I couldn't decide where to go next, so I left it for a few days and came back to it with my box of markers and pens and doodled on it until I was doodled out (second photo).
Some of the lines are a little messy, but I was holding my sketchbook up in one hand while trying to add lines with the other. Not easy!
I accidentally cut about half an inch off the bottom by getting the book too close to the scanner plate edge, so there is actually a strip of the background across the bottom that isn't showing. I was too lazy to re-scan it...
This painting kind of makes me think of hubby and my road trip out west in 2019, especially the southwest, which I loved.
Anyway, it was fun to do and helped wake up my muse some! Good therapy! No plan. No rules. Just intuitive fun!
