Allergy Meadow

It would seem that I like to scribble! Today's image is based every so loosely upon a meadow near my house that caused me to sneeze as I walked through it. Obviously, I'm in a very impressionistic mood, so my colors and lines developed willy-nilly as they pleased. It still looks like a sneezy field to me. :)

Not Quite Awake Yet

These two sleepy kitties hardly noticed that I stopped to take a photo of them on our early morning walk this week. With a basket of flowers nearby as well as a couple blooming iris, they were a ready-made composition. :)

Tahoe View Trail

Yesterday's scribble art curiously left me feeling energized, so of course I need to conduct further experiments to see if the effect lasts. For most of this painting I was thinking..."what a mess!", but then, as the final marks and lines were added, it seemed to come together. What fun!
