Doodle Week Day 4's theme is
Doodle Vacation. With the US dollar trending downward and travel abroad becoming very expensive, many Americans are taking stay-cations. This means doing interesting things close to home. There are also the frequent journeys into the imaginative world of books and movies that are on my itinerary.
I'm currently immersed in a book about early 20th Century cartoonist
George Herriman who penned the strip
Krazy Kat. Herriman's comic scenery verges on the surreal and inspired the following dreamy ocean landscape, which is where you'll find me during my mental summer vacation.

Looking at it, it is like I'm lost inside a bottled ocean. Like it is bottled, but I'm still lost in the vast blueness. Are you a hypnotist too Francis? Your art work, hypnotizes me with its splendor.
and blue is my favorite color.
Way to go!
I agree it does look like the sea in a bottle..I find it hypnotic..I have always had a fscination for the sea..
I enjoy your doodles; they have a very organic, undulating and flowing feel.
I need to take a mental vacation from myself! Any suggestions?
Beautiful!!!! All of your doodles are very unique!
Your fluidic style of drawing works well with this subject matter.
@Jena It's funny you should say that, initially I thought about boxing up the waves like an aquarium. I wish I was a hypnotist, then I might be able to persuade folks to do things for me :).
@Robert I've always found the sea fascinating too. I'd like to take a long boat trip some day ... not a cruise but real sailing.
@Lynda A good futuristic or super-natural novel is the best stay-cation trip I can recommend :). I'm quite fond of escapist movies as well. Hell Boy II is next on my agenda.
@Olga If nothing else, I've got uniqueness going for me :).
@Mark Yes, I agree. I need to do more water related drawings.
franscud, my best escape is a good movie--any genre--as long as it's not anarchist or nihilist in point of view.
or doing art. that always works to take me out of myself.
@Lynda I'm with you on that ... these drawings are a great escape for me.
I hate the open sea, but I love this one.
Hi Ruthie ... I think this one is a little less intimidating than a real ocean :).
