Inspiration Avenue - Simplicity

Usually when I make a circle it is the start of a zen doodle.... and I started with a circle. Such a simple pure form, a circle. After the circle forms, complexity usually enters but I told myself - NO. Do something for the "simplicity" theme challenge at Inspiration Avenue. So instead of a lot of pen work, only a few more lines emerged and then I played with my crayons. Those fun Caran d'Ache ones! So here is my simple image!


Earlier this week, I also did a simple sketch of our friend Lisa at Priti Studios. Let me know if you think it looks like her!

  2. This is just wonderful! I'm always amazed, when an artist minimizes strokes, materials, colors, etc., at how much is conveyed. This pieces captures my imagination ... I could look at it for hours.!
