Oh the good old days when the doodles had the good sense to remain doodles. As I've devoted more and more time to drawing and painting, the personal importance of each individual piece has increased proportionately. There was something quite appealing about being able to sit down in a cafe and sketch something out in a couple hours and that's it. But as my abilities have expanded and I know that I can do more, have done more, it becomes harder and harder to just let something out and move on.
