So, today’s May Flower Challenge activity has been doodling flowers in my art journal. This is in an old Victory annual – I gessoed & watercolour painted the pages ages ago but never got round to using them until now:
Originally I thought I would *just* doodle flowers, but a page without any words didn’t seem quite right – so I added a few flower related quotes and lines of poetry – from Georgia O’Keeffe, William Blake, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Christopher Marlowe. My favourite flower, and my favourite poem/quote is this one from Basho:
The temple bell stops.
But the sound keeps coming
out of the flowers.
I love that!
I love the flower doodles! It’s so fun to finally use a painted page that was created without a purpose
Oh yes! I knew this colourful page would have a purpose some day and I think this was definitely it
Ooh I love that quote too! Beautiful sketches, Viv!
Thanks Allie – glad you like the quote and sketches!
Oh, yes – I love that too. That is wonderful page. I think it must be my favorite so far!
Thanks Julie!
Inspired!
Thank you my lovely x
Love doodles….don’t like the word doodles but I use it because everyone knows what it means. This spread is lovely!
Glad you like the spread! I think I know what you mean about the word doodles
I love your flower doodles. I doodle flowers all the time (especially during day job meetings). I’ll pull a few out and post them later this month.
Thanks Lori – look forward to seeing some of your flower doodles.
