But That's Just Scribbles

My mom's friend Lida tells me, sometime after my mom's death, the story of sharing some of her whimsical colorful art with my mom who responds with, "But that's just scribbles," or something along those lines.

Well, Yes, Mom! Scribbles! Art doesn't get any better! 

Artist Jane Davies writes a blog post about scribbling yesterday. Her scribbles and her post are compelling, and off I go to my studio this afternoon realizing I might be able to make use of some painted scribbles that hadn't worked for a project I had in mind. Maybe I could capitalize on them now.

To my surprise I have a little trouble finding my groove but soon enough I am totally in flow. Off to the races with heart-opening scribbles. Hot damn! 

I want a stretch knit sheath dress with a little sheen and exquisite drape created with this scribble as its print.

Let It Flow!

My internal weather is frightful;

Can't get calm, though, try as I mightful,

But since I've got paint set to go,

Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow!


paint straight from the tube,
moved around with my finger


detail;
more colors, finger painting and mixing
