FRESH sketch

FRESH

Fresh is the word for day 25 of August. I admit I was stumped on how to draw the concept of fresh. Then late at night a couple of thoughts popped into my head.

Fresh air, fresh ideas got stuck in my train of thought and I don't know how to incorporate a train into it so light bulbs, clouds and a leaf floating on air came into view, with a tiny bird to send the motion to my blocked brain.

Hope this idea feels fresh for anyone stopping by too.

Path sketch

Today's doodle #24

PATH

The word "path" lead my mind straight to Oz and that curly yellow brick road and all the familiar characters and songs that are now stuck in my head. I could've left this sketch in black and white but once Dorothy landed in Oz, really - it was all color from there.

By the way, Dorothy could've seriously used a map instead of Glynda's directions, just saying!  ...and does anyone else ever wonder, did someone paint all those bricks yellow or were they gold or is that another story altogether?

Pair sketch

Today's doodle #23

PAIR

I actually finished this sketch late last night but didn't get the time to post it till today. I almost didn't cause it's far from my best and looking back now, I should've just done a "pair" of socks. There are so many things I see that are wrong but my intentions were to try do a sketch/doodleaday - lame or not...

I'm trying to get brave and just push forward on improving and loosening up my style. Just getting to sketch everyday is helpful - so please bear with me, if anyone is visiting this blog.

Home sketch

Today's doodle #22

HOME

The word "home" brought a plethora of images racing to my mind and then I looked down at my feet and the had the answer.

Each night, while watching TV, at least one of the golden girls gets comfortable "on", my feet. It's Cassidy's comfort zone and I love that she likes me enough to continue laying there even when I can't sit still.

So although Cass is still young in people years (I refuse to dog-years math!) I clearly saw her puppy years before me and instantly remembered when we brought her "home".

I showed her the doodle and she licked it (not liked) the ipad screen, in approval. Hope anyone that sees this enjoys it too and understands the meaning of home and having a place of comfort for your heart.DOODLEADAY-AUG 22: Home

COOL sketch

Today's doodle #21

COOL

Thinking of something "cool" was easy since it's August and the summer sun stares at the back of my house all day, everyday, like it's personal!

My mind went to the North Pole almost immediately. When I got there, this white polar bear was actually leaning on the North Pole like it was his private property. I think it might have been a territorial thing, I didn't bother to ask.

TODAY: #20 DOODLEADAY-AUG

Today's doodle #20

TODAY 

"Rainy days and Mondays" suits this challenge, with the word being "Today". There are light showers off and on but the grey clouds could use a lift. So thoughts of Betsy Clark characters, Precious Moments figurines and Disney popped into my head ~ and sugary sweet came out...
