Those teeny words say "rooted in complexity, craving space."
I began with random doodling. Then as I thought of two creative works I enjoyed on vacation last week: Kelly Mark's Letraset drawings at the Montreal Contemporary Art Museum and Karen Armstrong's autobiographical book, The Spiral Staircase, the doodle turned into this view of the jumble hidden under a simple looking sprout.
Technical pen and watercolor on Strathmore drawing paper.
This is great! I really like it a lot. Simplicity in complexity. Or the other way around. :)
ReplyDeleteLove this! Somewhat different from your usual style, but you can definitely turn doodling into a high art form :)

And such a cute little sprout!
I like this abstract doodle!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! I love the way the complex roots balance out the simple little sprout.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness. This SO demonstrates how I feel about my history and culture. So awesome, this is.
ReplyDeletePeace

ReplyDeleteI like this Nita! I am a huge fan of doodles gone wild. This one is so colorful and lyrical in its lines.
ReplyDeleteLovely artwork. I often think some of the best ideas and best work starts life as a doodle. Perhaps because you are not really concentrating your subconscious and creativity is let loose. Whatever ...it certainly seems to have worked here ! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the feel, and the concept of your roots painting.
