When Doodling becomes Art… Or does it?

I was always one of those people that would have lots of doodles on any piece of paper, school books, notepads, especially when on the phone, or in a slightly less than interesting meeting. I actually found by doodling I could focus my brain better than if I was just trying to listen. The doodles never served a purpose and they definitely weren’t art, but that is the purpose of a doodle isn’t it? To have no purpose!!!

Then came the art of Zentangle, I am no expert i this area, but I wanted to encompass the elements of Zentangling/ Doodling into images I could use on occasion cards.

I really enjoyed playing with shape and shading along with the form of a silhouette. This is my first creation using this idea and it certainly won’t be my last!
