DD83 – Out Of Focus

Digital Doodles

In my youth I can remember when everything was out of focus. Dad barely made enough to put food on the table and a roof over our head. Eyeglasses were simple a luxury that we just couldn’t afford. I usually chose one of the front desks in my grade school and high school years. All the other kids thought I was trying to be the teacher’s pet, but in reality I just wanted to be closer to the chalkboards. Finally in my junior year I made enough money at 90 cents/hour putting up hay in the summer to be able to afford a pair. I knew I would need them for college so that was a top priority for me.

This doodle, like so many others didn’t get a title until it was finished. But I kinda think it fits.

DD69 – The Ultimate

Digital Doodles

This is one of those doodles that I started with a thought in mind. I kinda think the image give you an idea of what the future, but not too future, tennis shoe will look like. I guess they are called sneakers now. They used to also be called athletic shoes, but maybe sneakers is a more appropriate name as most of the people who put out hundreds of bucks for them now are likely playing their sports in front of a game console screen.

DD50 – By Any Other Name

Digital Doodles

I thought I would try a simple version of a sophisticated doodle. How it ended up is pretty much how it started. The thought was that while I was courting my wife 40 years ago I weekly gave her roses that numbered the same as the weeks before our marriage. Of course the one that stuck in my mind was the last single rose a week before our wedding. This doodle doesn’t actually look like that rose, but it is the thought that counts.

DD54 – A Bright Idea

Digital Doodles

This is my first attempt at Doodle-Abstracts. The difference between simple doodles and abstract doodles is that simple doodles start with nothing in mind, and abstract doodles start with a particular thought.

You could say this image is also a self-portrait showing that I am constantly surrounded by bright ideas, especially when I am in my morning shower.

I kinda like how it turned out.

LA3 – A Little Line Art, A Little Watercolor

Digital Doodles

My definition of a doodle is extremely broad it seems. With that in mind I give you some line art and watercolor for today’s doodle. The inspiration was taken from a hillside view from my third visit to Mount Vernon, which was the homestead of our first president. If you don’t know who that was google it to have a history lesson you missed out on.

DD58 – StarLight, StarBright

Digital Doodles

I kinda think that if there is a heaven for artists and doodlers this is probably what the stars would look like. 

After decades of study on the subject, I have come to the conclusion that, for the most part, our religious documents are made up of what people dream heaven will be like. So, why can’t I dream that it will be like peoples’ greatest passions? This one is for artists, and for the ones whose primary passion is hate, it will be called HELL.

DD6 – Chaos

Digital Doodles

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties.”

-Erich Fromm–

__________________________

Letting go of certainties are certainly disruptive and Chaos often follows. In some ways that is a good thing. It forces us to face the reality that we might have been wrong about things we thought were true and certain.

That is especially true for the current times.

DD9 – KY Bike Racks

_______________Stories, Quotes & Lessons of Life________________

The photo that inspired this doodle was of a unique bike rack I discovered in Louisville, Kentucky in 2010. Since our homestead was only a couple of hours away we made several long weekend trips to Louisville over the years. They have quite a few small museums there. I kinda like those types of museums better than those with Renoirs and millionaires’ names above the gallery doors.
