Who is the handsome black man with the cool sweater and the glasses? He looks too good to be true. Enjoy the park photos and your family history. Very interesting.
Jim – Your portraits are absolutely stunning! I can’t even pick a favorite on this page (or the next) because each one I like for different reasons…
I was stopped on the 4th photo down: “Wait! I recognize her!” Unfortunately I never met Audrey in person – I just started going to Spotlighters Theatre about 5 or 6 years ago, and of course there are several portraits on display there from her long career. From the stories, it sounds like she was quite the amazing person.
I’ve bookmarked this blog, and will look forward to your new work, and also the insight and stories that you provide. (Thought provoking commentary regarding grants for individual artists – and a hilarious cartoon by Mr. Fish!)
Thank you for the generous comments, Ken. I do believe we have a little mutual admiration society going here. Praise is important in any situation, of course, but since the pay at non-profits is scant . . . well, you know what I’m saying . . .
Love the picture of my grandmother Edith!! I’d love to have more if you have any. She was an extraordinary lady and I miss her so much!! Thanks for sharing Uncle Jim.
O.K., I've been asked to explain the blog name. Of course you know that the word "doodle" usually refers to random jottings made while otherwise occupied—on the phone, attending meetings, watching television, or just daydreaming. Doodles are very rough sketches of people, patterns, animals, objects, etc. My plan for this blog is to expand the definition of doodling to include play writing, prose (fiction and non), and anything else (woodworking? ironing shirts?), that invades my brain pan. A little of this, a little of that—the whole blog becoming one big hybrid doodle. As for the "meister" part, that's just pure vanity.

Yeah, what ever happened to him? Thanks for the comment, Jim, and for checking out the blog. Nice to hear from you and Myriam in this venue.
