Plum Doodles 510

journal fragment December 28th, 2025

Saw a music show last night.

One performance was great.

One performance woke up both the critic and the musician in me.

I will say this: Vocal control and mic technique are art forms. If you are a singer – please please please, get coaching. Even just a few sessions with a good teacher will work wonders. Train! Warm up! It’s fun!

Have fun. 

Mixed feelings (last night) and today.

10,000 Plum Doodles Project 

I often use scribbles as the genesis for paintings. These squiggles carry energy for me, and on their own, they tell a story. I call them plums because they are little treats for my imagination. I will continue adding to this project until I have reached 10,000 drawings.

John S. Hall’s 10,000 Poems Project inspired me – but rather than writing – I decided to collect my drawings. Sometimes I write when I doodle, and sometimes I share the writing as well.
