Doodles, Flowers, and Painting


I have been wanting to doodle.
Just simple black pen on paper then watercolor or acrylic.
There is something very liberating about not using a pencil, right?  
(Thank you Elisa Choi for some pen only inspiration!)
Just picking up a pen and going for it.
So the other night I did just that...doodled.
Just a pen and so much fun.



Going crazy with the pen...


I loved doodling so much that I went from my journal 
to a small canvas (6x8) and added acrylic.


So, I have also gone from Christmas trees to bright, doodled flowers. :)
We'll see what inspiration pops up next.

(Blogger has given me SO much trouble tonight uploading these pictures! Arghhhh! 
I want to rip my hair out. Anyone else have Blogger problems?)

I am joining the arty parties at Paint Party Friday & Studio JRU.
Hope you have a wonderful LAST weekend before Christmas!!
(Holy Cow where did that time go?)

  3. I agree--doodling is so relaxing, and when you let your mind go--it's interesting what comes out on the paper.
    Love the bright colors too.
    Hope you have a great Christmas!

  6. I love this piece. There is something freeing about doodling with a pen. Knowing you can't erase a misplaced line just allows you let go and plow ahead.

  16. Jen, these are awesome! I love them before color too! Your pen work is brilliant and the bold pops of color really jump off the page. Really, really pretty!!

  17. Love your doodles, and yes, I agree, it's super relaxing and fun, not worrying about erasing and just going with the flow. Looking forward to more of your art in 2012. :)

    And yes, Blogger give me fits. I dont use it, but 9 times out of 10 I can't leave a comment or have trouble clicking over...very frustrating! Hope it smooths out soon. Glad it's working tonight so I could come over and visit.

    Happy Christmas!,
    Scarlett

  18. I love to doodle and yours have turned out beautifully. I do like the idea of bypassing the pencil and therefore all the erasing that comes with it!
