I know so much more than I did in 2014 when I took up painting, but—OH MY GOSH—it is perfectly clear that I will never run out of things to learn when I paint!
How hard can it be to scribble, you might wonder.
Plenty hard enough, I might reply.
For me, at least.
I was so challenged this afternoon!
I scrambled to do the kind of scribbling I wanted to do and ran headlong into limitation after limitation … incompatible supplies, tearing the edges of the paper as I gave free rein to movement of my hand, poor quality pens, wanting some kind of result that was halfway pleasing to my eye.
I think I've got myself an inquiry in process.

Looks like the mad hatter is loose! I love it! Haha. :)
The mad hatter! Thx for reflecting back the energy of this scribble. I am intrigued by my inquiry into scribble.
Simple printed page. Swirls of movement in your scribbles. Are you familiar with the work of Cy Twombly? https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/cy-twombly-2079
