12 + 12, 12 x 12’s- #24 of 24, ‘Post Expiration Date Blues’, The Worksheet
♪ Oh this worksheet I manage to construct,
Arranging shapes with thought and luck
Connecting everything to a can of soup
As awful odors knock you for a loop ♪
♪ Even after the paintings first stokes are started
Questions of placement and a few items departed
With an eraser several selections require a tweak
Those final results I will show you next week ♪
♫ Chorus
Them’s Post Expiration Date Blues
Checking the month, day, and year should be duly noted
Oh Them’s Post Expiration Date Blues
Aptly suggest that the can might be bloated ♫

‘Post Expiration Date Blues’
♪Oh my, them’s doodles, so many to select
The first one I chose, ended up as a reject
It wouldn’t fit with Two, Three and Four
So I let myself peruse to select even more ♪
♪As I flip the pages of this finished sketchbook
My eyes get weary as I continue to look
I finally decide I have more than enough
Now my task is a narrative and to arrange this stuff ♪
♫Chorus
Them’s Post Expiration Date Blues
Checking the month, day, and year should be duly noted
Oh Them’s Post Expiration Date Blues
Aptly suggest that the can might be bloated ♫

12 + 12, 12 x 12’s- #23 of 24, ‘A Bridge in Time’, The Doodle
Project: 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s #23 of 24
Title-’A Bridge in Time’
First sequenced post, ‘The Doodle’.
After a slight intermission for Postings of the 1448 Gallery exhibit, the Monday’s posting will now return to the 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s project. After over two years of Monday postings, these are the final two paintings in the project.
From the + 12 portion of this project, the ‘Doodles’ for this painting were selected by Jesse, one of my two sons. My other son, Eric, had chosen ‘doodles’ for painting #12.
Jesse’s first choice was the doodle circled as #1. Not satisfied with this doodle as the main subject, I selected, from another of his choices circled as #2, the one to the left circled as #3 to play the main subject/design role.

12 + 12, 12 x 12’s- #22 of 24, ‘Day in the Park’, The Worksheet
Project: 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s #22 of 24
Title-’Day in the Park’
Second sequenced post, ‘The Worksheet’.
As the Worksheet developed, I found that I was able to incorporate two additional ’doodle’ selections made by Carole. If you’re following these sequenced posts and refer back to last weeks ’First sequenced Doodle’ post, the primary design is based on doodle #2 and the two additional doodles added are #5 and #4. I was also able, in the top left corner, to find a place for a reduced version of Carole’s original selection, doodle #1.

12 + 12, 12 x 12’s- #22 of 24, ‘Day in the Park’, The Doodle
Project: 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s #22 of 24
Title-’Day in the Park’
First sequenced post, ‘The Doodle’.
From the + 12 portion of this project, the ‘Doodles’ for this painting were selected from my sketchbooks by a fellow Artist and good friend, Carole.
This painting, #22, shares a theme with #20, #21, and upcoming #23. In each, I had selected a ‘Doodle’ from ones they had choose. In each I had developed a Worksheet and in three of the four I had started a painting. As my paint application evolved with the previous 19 paintings in this project and two intermissions that I veered away to create eleven, 8 x 10 paintings and seven, 11 x 14 paintings respectably, I ran into a roadblock in finishing these four 12 x 12’s.
I asked each of these individuals to select new ’Doodles’ from the sketchbooks.
Circled Doodle #1 was Carole’s original choice. Number 2 was one of her new choices, as was #3 and #5. I choose to work with #2 but kept open the option of incorporating #5 and #4, pending how the Worksheet developed.

12 + 12, 12 x 12’s-‘The Connection’, The Worksheet #21
Project: 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s #21 of 24
Title-’The Connection’
Second sequenced post, ‘The Worksheet’
I mentioned in last weeks ‘Doodle’ posting that there was a particular design issue confronting me. On ‘doodle’ #1, there were seven receding layers (shapes) that I wanted rework to get just three layers. Shown to the left on this worksheet is that solution. Three layers but I managed to give the appearance of more layers by connecting some of the shapes rather than them all overlapping each other.

12 + 12, 12 x 12’s-‘The Connection’, The Doodle #21
Project: 12 + 12, 12 x 12’s #21 of 24
Title-’The Connection’
First sequenced post, ‘The Doodle’.
From the + 12 portion of this project, the ‘Doodles’ for this painting were selected from my sketchbooks by a fellow Art craftsman and good friend, Mac.
Of the three Mac selected, I chose Doodle #1. Two concerns cropped up, one was the receding of multiple layers. Somehow I needed to rework the seven layers to get it to about 3 or 4 receding shapes but still maintain the integrity of the selected ‘Doodle’. Two, also, as in the previous #20 Doodle posting, I realized that I needed an additional selection to make it fit the 12 x 12 inch format. Neither of Mac’s other two choices seemed to work. With that I perused through the Sketchbooks and found Doodle #2.
The results to be seen in the Worksheet.
