Daily Squiggle

Squiggle jumper.
The squiggle engineer jumping for joy at the sight of a steam engine.

This squiggle is done entirely in colored pencil. I wanted a green and red compliment pair, but I also wanted some adjacent colors. So, I used a yellow and blue mix to make a yellow green for the shirt.

The squiggle looked like a working man to me with that hat. My grandfather wore a cap like that. My grandmother washed them and set them on glass jars to shape them while they dried.

We just had a steam engine go through town and I always jump for joy when I hear one. My squiggle, therefore is a train engineer who is in love with steam engines.

Daily Squiggle

Live squiggle walking
Walking is healthy for squiggles too.

I used markers to color this squiggle. The blue of her blouse and the orange stripes of her skirt are complementary and the green tights and red stripes of the skirt are complementary. It’s an interesting combination but I would not wear green tights even if I received many compliments.

I wanted her to be looking at the world. Too many people exercise in their own little bubbles of heart rate and ear buds. If you are lucky enough to be in the fresh air, use all your senses to be in it. You are not a tourist in nature, you are nature.
