I’ve spent the majority of the past three days at the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency annual Conference. It was a fantastic conference and well worth the time spent. Today was the last day and during a very moving presentation this doodle materialised on my notebook.
What I saw emerging as I was doodling was a storm cloud with torrential rain and hail. I added a stylized sun. From under the devestation of the storm, flowers persevere and shine in the sun.
I scanned the doodle in Kooka, traced the paths using Inkscape and then added the color with the GIMP (all opensource software freely available for download).
I hope you like it. Cheers - dale.
That is really awesome. I love doodles. I do doodles in an abstract manner sort of like that.

@Chica, I’m a doodlemaniac too. When I was creating this it began to remind me of a storm and torrential rain/hail. I built on that and drew a stylized sun and then added the flowers and earth to capture some of the spirit of the lecture that was occurring while I was doodling.
That’s really good Dale. The storm with the sun confuses me, though, so I’ve decided to interpret it as shurikens emerging from a vortex on an alien world.
@Mark, Oh yes, I was thinking that too as I was doodling
Love this Dale
I am glad to see you are keeping your doodle up.
Also you are my witness that Chica says she doodles, she has previously denied it!
