My friend
gave me a book on Zentangles.
I’m slowly going through it and the one I had previously purchased, and
have made a small foray into some of the Zentangle blogs.
I enjoy the
process, just not sure I’m understanding the “string” concept.
Last year we had a
program at our watercolor society and the demonstrator showed us a book about
Gustav Klimt that she uses as an inspiration.
Lo and behold, I believe I saw some Zentangle-like designs in his
work. Guess there really is nothing
new under the sun!

| The Kiss - this one also makes me think of the Gee's Bend quilts |

| An assortment of Zentangle patterns combines both of these Klimt paintings |

| Tree of Life |

| This clearly resembles the Klimt painting above |
As artists, I think we all "discover" something, only to find that it has already been done before. But it is exciting to discover that certain thing on our own, even if we do find out later we aren't quite as smart as we thought we were!
Now, excuse
me while I return to my chair, book, pens and thought process!!!!!!!!!!
