Moderne Arte: "Brain at Play" (Again ; )

The Art with the Squiggly Lines

In the Frame with the Squiggly Lines

A perfect match? I think it will be pretty darn close : )

Introduction:

I don't do entries or posts here about every piece of 'moderne arte' that I complete in the 'arte room' overlooking my back yard, but when I do I like to share a goodly number of photos from a goodly number of angles.

As I've said in the past, the arte pieces go back to the 1960s, to my early years of doodling with ballpoint pens while sitting in high school classes. I may have picked up a few ideas from the doodles my mother completed on the front or inside cover of the family phonebook. I did a few of my first pieces on the inside front or back covers of high school notebooks and if I look hard enough I can still find them in '60s photo albums. Then, I did them for fun, to escape boredom, to put on paper what was an experiment with lines and shape and colours, following a few simple rules. 

One rule relates to how I still start many a design, i.e., with one or two focal points that have 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 branches, like the letter u or y or x, etc. In one of the photos below, that reveal the design from start to finish, I have circled my two focal points. From there, the rest is history. (I often say, "On sale now," or "Finished and ready for the annual Gathering on the Green (local crafters' sale)," but this time I say, "It's already sold!")

Six lines continue to grow. Occasionally I make modifications on the fly : )

Three tiny houses are within walking distance of a McDonalds!!

McDonalds?? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

SOLD!!

FYI.  I noticed when finished that two little parts of the design could be featured in future drawings, i.e., a 'grinning, long-necked cartoon character,' and tiny houses. We'll see what happens next time.
