Doodling My Way Out of a Slump

 Well, I'm still in kind of a slump, creative wise, but I have done a few doodles over the last few days. Most of them are quirky doodles, where I make a bunch of random marks and swirls, then pull an image out. Three are 1-liner sketches (the dog, cat, and owl). I used Micron, brush, Posca pens, and a pencil. The butterfly is watercolored and spattered. Just fooling around on the last few pages of my current sketchbook. Only a couple of pages left before I can break in a new one!

We're currently getting snow and ice in Tennessee, and they're forecasting it to get really bad today and tomorrow, with possible power outages. Trying to get stuff caught up and saved up, just in case!

I just saw on Facebook today that the new Sketchbook Revival classes for this year start April 11th. I'm anxious to see what's included this session, so I know if I want to take them this time. I also got an email from Ivy Newport about a new mixed media art journal course that looks interesting and isn't too expensive. I'm thinking about it! Of course, I still have a bunch of classes left in the Sketchbook Revival 2025 session that I haven't sampled yet, a couple of courses with Jeanne Oliver that I haven't even started, and I'm wanting to create stuff on my own, not from a class, if I can ever get started again. A bit overwhelming and frustrating! lol

Anyway, it's cloudy and gloomy and snowy and icy, but still a beautiful day today, and who knows, I may do some more doodling before the day is over!

Prayers for all of us in the path of these winter storms! Stay safe and warm, and make a little creative magic while you're housed in!
