I am hooked to this new art form.  It will be a wonderful format to use when teaching art worship at St. Sabina's next month, April 2015.  I intend to use it for Purpose by Design and the girls from Riverwoods this summer as well.  There are so many beautiful designs.

The Art of Meditative Doodling
We had a wonderful evening of learning this slow art, that we decided to repeat it.  Stay tuned for a date this summer.

The next paintings were guided layers of emotions, perhaps a lie we believed, and the truth that we know, all represented in colors and layers.  Some of the pictures from the evening are below.
