Making the little dots inspired me. I actually started with the little and then created the larger more transparent ones. I made a decision along the way that the build up in density would be most of the color change.

It is restful — like paddling through a pond of water lilies.

Just working on layers and repetition. These are made by tapping. each dot is a tap and I adjust color and transparency. These do not vary in size for many reasons, not the least which is it's faster.

I like it.

Testing a bit of transparency here. I was hoping for a bit more purple. Oh well. Drawing a few box shapes. I've always loved creating a false edge. Allowing some of the craziness to spill out.

Testing the waters.

Stepping away from the spirgraph and into a transition to the next real experiment. This is a quiet piece. Repetitive yes but dark. A bit of a dip into my constellation drawings.

It's fun. Mostly it's making something on the way to something else.

I guess that my #drawingaday project isn't enough. I'm planning a sketchbook project. Black and white. Ink only. I'm gonna buy a little sketchbook.

The question is:

Do I buy a sketchbook?

Or maybe I pick out several sheets and make a simple little book of my own construction.

It does seem like I should make the book.

undecided.

More crazy circles.
Still continuing on an energetic path. The transparency creates a depth while keeping the color intensity.

I always loved my spirograph. I wonder where it is now.
I took my circle brushes a bit further. Mor experimentation. I think I really do like them all. I'm happy to share this with folks. Tomorrow more.

A bit more of the circle thing. I'm not exactly sure why except that it is fun to draw them on the iPhone. I'm testing out different brushes drawn as circles and it's very energetic. Successful? I have mixed feelings.

Caught up in an energy storm. This was another in a series of new tools I made. Working way outside my comfort zone. Now it feels good. Gonna continue working with these tools and see what else I discover. Who knew?

This was a surprise.
I really decided to experiment in the opposite direction here. I have been making drawings where the discovery was about how different could my drawings be in a digital realm. I found out a lot about that and it's not over yet.

But now I'm looking at more deliberately making things that I might want to try in the studio on substrates with new materials.
