This is a sketch of how I’m feeling tonight. I was feeling too swirly (a made up word) to draw something particular so I decided to just play with colors for a little while, trying to draw what my mind feels like, and then call it a day.






OMG I just LOVE the colors in this! These colors just speak to me. Just GORGEOUS.

Swirly indeed - it’s wonderful - so cheerful and bouncy. It just gave me this silly thought - ‘Oh, so you can do whatever you like - just because ‘- silly isn’t it?
And now I feel swirly too!! Love the freedom and colors of this.
Fun! I am so swamped right now that I just want time to play, too. Soon…
Love the new word…. “swirly”. I made up a word for when I feed my cat his 1 tablespoon of canned cat food.. I SMOOSH it on his plate… makes him think he’s getting more.
Oops….. just looked up in dictionary.com your new word and my word. They’ve been invented before … seems others agree with our meanings. Guess we’ll have to try harder to come up with an unknown word.
Sometimes you just need to take a break and swirl paint around. I hope to be around more often.
I like how dynamic it is- it takes me on a visual ride from one interesting part to the next. The colors are so energizing. This looked like it was a lot of fun to paint.
