Rock Pool - Seaside collaboration challenge by Christine Davies

Zentangle! now steady on Christine, it's only early yet for those big words. An attractive arrangement and your crab is so decorative, well thought out, I have to think of an idea later, hope it's not another scorcher though, it dulls my thought process - doesn't take much mind you...

Haven't got a glue of what that strange word means but your painting is very decorative and beautifully made Christine. Don't melt away in that heat, drink a lot but not too much Pimm's in your water!

Just beautiful Christine

I meant clue not glue!!!

Lovely, look like lace patterns Christine.

Thank you very much Alan, Satu, Dennis and Carole. Zentangle is a meditative process of creating art by drawing structured shapes and patterns. A friend of mine introduced me to it and it is quite addictive, for someone, like me, who enjoys patterns and is a compulsive doodler, it's ideal! Hope you're enjoying your Finnish summer Satu, it's raining here at the moment which is a relief! I think it's you who's been at the Pimm's Lol!

Great work love the design!!

Another clever addition to the July challenge!

Love those shells, they look like spiders webs :)

Lovely shapes and patterns Christine.

What is Zentangle? Another new genre perhaps? Anyway, whatever it is, this is beautiful - I love the frilly edges to all the sea creatures - the crab is especially attractive. A super idea and very different.

Zentangle? I would be in-a-tangle if I gave it a go! Another great seaside themed painting Christine.

This is absolutely delightful, Christine - I really like the interaction of the curvy lines with the more geometric shapes of the shells. Love this new direction you're taking!

What fun Christine. So many ideas from this theme..... Zentangle?

Thank you all for your comments. I tried to explain what Zentangle art is but suggest you 'Google' it to get a better explanation. It's supposed to be relaxing and therapeutic but it is very intricate and wouldn't appeal to everyone!
