With Teacher Ridhi Ragpal, zen doodles will help me maintain an art practice immediately after meditating, lengthening the meditative state.

Wow! This took some wrapping my brain around it. The sprinkle looks like something out of a Doctor Suess picture book. That’s was fun to draw.

Today’s zen doodles was to show an improvement from any we had difficulty with … the black and white drawing was day 2– the colored one is Day 44. I feel they are starting to
look like flowers and not pumpkins or squashes.
