Sketchbook Challenge for February

Hydrangea florets

...and some more...

...and a couple more!

I am not madly keen on large flowers, generally so when I find a large one made up of small ones...! Anyway, these are from closeup photos of individual florets on large flowered hydrangeas. I have some other pictures I took of dead, dried up ones too which I may tackle next. I have not done too much closeup this week , but I have been in my sketchbook every day. Here are a few examples. The Zentangles ARE helping. My hand is much better behaved now and I can tell it what to do, and mostly- it does as it is bidden!

You see, I am a Capricorn, which, in my case, means I am a January baby. Remember the theme from January? Doodling!! I LOVE to doodle. I love to draw seriously too but I LOVE doodling!

A whole page of doodles

These Tangles are really captivating!

I keep telling myself it is therapy for my hand- yeah! THERAPY for my HAND ! The head is happy too:-)

I will try to do some serious drawing next week - maybe those dead, dry hydrangea heads.

Sketchbook Challenge for February

February's theme is Close Up! I love doodling but I also love closeups. Macro is mucho great. We have two very good friends, one of whom is a superb doodler and I would love  to see him share his inventive  and winsome doodles with more people. Oddly, his wife, an excellent painter, is also a photographer who really excels at macro photography . Pity they are not involved in Shetchbook Challenge . These two months are tailor made for them- and for me too. I will do more as the month goes on but here are a couple I did this morning after my walk. I collected evergreen cones of various sorts.

Told you I love doodling!
