In the last post, I mentioned that these are addictive and fast. But, I didn't mention how meditative they are. Now, when I do my other artwork, I get "into the zone." But, the thing with zentangles is that I go to a completely different place. It's exactly as if I were meditating. You know, as if I were sitting on the floor with the legs crossed and chanting "ohm." I'm totally serious. There is another-worldly peace that comes over me, and I see things with absolute clarity.
Actually, while I was doing the Scape 01, I came the unequivocal decision that I had to go to the city with my aunt for her Christmas shopping. Once again, that could be considered a crazy decision for someone with anxiety disorder...I mean, 4 days before Christmas on the busiest street of the city. While I was doodling all I heard was a calm voice saying: "Yeah, we're going". There was no fear, anxiety or concern. Awesome!
Well, enough gushing. Here are some zentangles :)
