Lots of doodles going on while I'm busy trying to put a plan or two together - very difficult for some of us you know! I did a doodle of the 'cloud' sculpture on the 'Different Strokes from Different Folks' project, though I haven't sent it in, as it is just a doodle from memory, and a whimsical thought I had about it. 
Then a doodle after looking at one of Raoul Dufy's little watercolour and ink landscapes that I have on a postcard...
then yesterday
I popped in at the Everard Read Gallery to have a look at a small exhibition of some of Lucian Freud's etchings - mostly portraits - and came home and did a pen & ink self-portrait doodle, which is quite frightening and 
I hope it doesn't look too much like me, but I'm afraid it kind of does. I think my nose and mouth do that when I'm concentrating!

Gosh, I haven't heard - or thought - of "Polly Wolly Doodle all the day" for years! I remember singing it as a kid growing up in the UK LOL!! Just my opinion here...but I think doodles are probably good for you.....
Yes - I want to believe that doodles ARE good for us!! I was thinking I should at least post a doodle or two... Don't need any pressure that it has to be "proper art..." (Sweat, itch, crack jaw!!)
I for one - think your doodles are wonderful - and encourage me to lighten up and have some fun
Hello - I visited your blog for the first time via Teresa's blog. Nice to chat to someone in South Africa. My friend's son lives in Jo'burg but this is the first blog I have read from there. I love your doodles - a bit like writing, it is easy to doodle rather than get down to it, particularly if you are undecided what course to take. Love your self portrait too.
I don't know why, Teresa, but songs rumble around in my subconscious for ever, and a word like doodle - or buttercup - or sweetpea - just sets me off, belting forth!
GPH - doodles are good - they must be, they got me through school, uni, meetings... :o) I love to see whatever you post - photos or funny Olive stories, whatever - nobody is expecting high Art!
Hello Weaver - nice to have you visit. I could doodle my life away I'm sure, but am trying to get a grip and progress. A farmer's wife living on the Yorkshire Dales sounds idyllic - will pop in and visit soon!
I love it... gave me a giggle and I needed it tonight. Polly Wolly Doodle all the day.... it's been a million years since I sang that little diddy. I agree with Tersa... doodles are good for the soul.
Very creative doodles Cathy...I wish mine looked like yours!

Lovely doodles, Polly. That song puts me right back in my Year 1 class at school in Leander Avenue, Bulawayo! We used to sing it. Very non-PC now! Your face is sweet and I see you there, but too lined to be you!The bride and her barrage balloon are enchanting. Doesn't it look like a wonderful sculpture?
ooh, I'm trying to think of all the words, VP, and can't think why it's not PC... I guess it was about the South USA... Louisiana - we sang it in all innocence, anyway! The more I scrutinise my face, the more lines become apparent, unfortunately - self-portraiture a way of coming to terms with reality!
A wonderful sculpture indeed - must be fascinating to see all those distorted reflections.
