Serendipity: I decided a couple of years ago that all of my drawings were to be of fortuitous origin.
And as doodles they all start. This one I call funny Opa, Opa is the Austrian-German word for grandfather. Casually he turned out to look like a portrait of Alfred, a very kind gentleman I happen to know, he lives here in town and has the most beautiful snow white hair I’ve ever seen.
I’ve loved the word Serendipity (sponsored link) since I saw Kate Beckingsale and John Cusack in that film (yes, I’m a girlie girl, you can roll your eyes at me) and doodling is trendy now, but I’ve been playing the game of finding out what hides behind random lines since I was a child. Can you guys remember Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood? (I know, I just gave my age away).
