Mandala doodles

Owlish Mandala 

Just play with paint

After years of focused art work, just taking time to doodle and play without an agenda 

happens to feel exciting, a novel experience.

I've yearned for this for YEARS, I now realise.

I longed to push paint around, pulling the colour over the paper

Creating a wash and being mesmerised by the results.

Allowing shapes and forms to show themselves; 

and allowing my hand to follow their cue

Until an image emerges

I keep adding colour, 

I feel for which colour wants to sit alongside the hue already on the page

It's not a thinking process, but following what feels like a fit.

This simple doodle left me feeling

happy and

satisfied.
