A Doodled Winter in Passing

Between the holiday, newspapering, and poetry writing, I failed once again to keep up with Doodle Week. I can't let the whole week slip by without contributing at least one drawing, so here's my very quick and simple attempt to capture the season of Winter.

You really captured winter for me- cold, gray, dreary and melancholic.

Way to go Francis. You're a real artist. Kudos to you.

Very evocative - as I would expect, of course.

Dave King said...

Which you have done (captured it, I mean) admirably, and so economically.

What a neat image! I think it accurately represents winter and fall.

Hey Francis!
I think, here performs a woman who stretch after sex or lethargy...bella!

I love the way the branches are reaching, like fingers.

Another awesome doodle!

Sensual and seasonal - fantastic drawing.

@Jena Thanks, It can especially be a bit bleak here in Chicago, but it can be quite beautiful at times too.

@Jakill I'm glad to meet those expectations :).

@Dave I think there's a lesson in that ... I may need to pursue simpler motifs like this. Economy of lines, as in a poem.

@NathanKP Thanks ... and I guess technically it is still fall isn't it.

@Hanna Sex is much more interesting, but I think I see more of the lethargy. There's definitely a human form hinted at by this.

@Susan I think there's probably a metaphor for aging buried here somewhere :).

@Jodapoet Thanks, those are to very good descriptors.

That is so simple yet so perfect, looking out the window with the grey skies and the clouds this is what I saw. I always think of the trees as dying in the winter and sad yet this looks like a restful pose, accepting maybe even relieved.

Hi Cooper, I think the trees are probably much better adjusted to the winter than I am :).

I like this. It reminded me of your poem, Weightless, I Walked, much the same way as In Coloured Streams seems to spring from Demented. I like the way your doodles and your poems sometimes go together - and the way the doodle seems to spring from the poem and not vice versa.
