Day 522 – Interpretation

December 4th, 2010 1 comment

Does a doodle have to represent something?

I often get the question “What is that?” and very often what I draw doesn’t represent anything specific, you can read into it whatever you like.  People see all different things.  That is the beauty of a doodle, because it stems from your sub-conscience it often just reflects your mood at the time.  This I did at my desk while waiting for some data reports to finish running.  It was started and stopped many times during th day.  I would come back add a flower, draw a few lines and then I would off doing some work.  But, even though many of my doodles are interrupted along the way, I always know when I am done, when I can put the pen down and move on.

With this one I sense a good mood, a feeling of joy of relaxation.  I sense a little love in there too.  On the other hand the hard lines and strong outline tells me at some point while I was doing this, I was frustrated and a maybe a little mad.  Maybe the data results were not what I was expecting.   What do you all think?
