Reflections on Doodle Journey Part Two
It has been amazing seeing all the different interpretations and expressions of the Doodle Journey course. Once a year I offer this course free to those willing to take the time to explore through doodles, while setting judgement aside. Because doodling is so process based, it is a simple and easy way to allow […]
The Journey of Art
December is here and my Doodle Journey e-course has finished. As I worked through the course myself, my inner critic tried to interfere with my doodle journey discouraging my loose and somewhat “messy” style. It was a practice in letting go of judgement, though even as I write this post and prepare to upload some of […]
Connecting Through Art
The thing about doodling that I like so much is the spontaneity. That is the secret. I never know what I am going to get and were the doodle is going to take me. Sometimes I don’t like my doodle. But that’s ok. I don’t see my doodling as a way of producing art, but […]
Doodling Paves the Way
To me, doodles are a wonderful way to access your personal symbology and inner world because we don’t have to think about doodling.

At least because this is something I plan on doing more regularly rather than just at meetings or conferences. If you are in need of some motivation to get started on the #DoodleADay challenge then […]
Morning Discovery
#DoodleADay challenge Day 29 A few words about this morning’s doodle: Rock froms mountain, and there she appears resting quietly, gently reminding me of her presence She was not expected always welcome waking If you are in need of some motivation to get started on the #DoodleADay challenge then you may want to […]
Creative Ideas
#DoodleADay Challenge Day 28 I never know what I am going to see appear before me on the blank page when I begin. Though I generally work this way when I do my painting, doodles seem to free me up even more to express myself. Surprisingly (or not depending on how you look at […]
Breaking Out of Old Patterns
#DoodleADay Challenge Day 27 After doodling for 27 days repeated patterns emerge in many of my doodles. Each time I doodle I have opportunity to observe them. Not just in my symbology of images, shapes and visual metaphors used, but also in the way that I approach the doodle. I notice where I lean toward […]
