Splendid rainy day

Fall trees glow under grey clouds

Air is crisp and clean

Art Prescription: I decided to add seed pods to my paint swatches. It felt like a seasonal thing to do.

Shades of blue and gray

Neutral tones, dark browns and blacks

Winter’s soft palette.

Art Prescription: I’ve got ideas for this, and for now just brush strokes!

When the air is cold

And the fall sun warms your back

And you are with friends.

Art Prescription: After a belly full of hay, one by one the horses go down in the warm sun.

What a beautiful day! Our retreat was amazing. Wonderful group of people who came out to stretch their minds and bodies.

Thank you Sam Sather my yoga partner!

Our intro to the day was to have participants fill in, “If I were growing in a winter garden, I would…”

Their spontaneous answers were poetic!

If I were growing in a winter garden, I would…

Be buried

Transparent

Underground

Asleep

A refuge

A beauty berry

Color

Under a row, covered

A vine up a tree

By a house with lots of people

Turning in compost

A red twig of Dogwood

Peace, serenity

A bulb hibernating

A welcome to birds and squirrels

By flowing water

A shelter.

Hi y’all,

I’m super excited to co-lead a Yoga and Art Journaling Retreat tomorrow at the North Carolina Botanical Garden! The garden is beautiful with fall color.

Today I set up the room with an abundance of art materials for inspiration. Magic will happen!

Thwack!! acorn hits ground

Robins chortle down the sun

Geese take off for roost.

Art Prescription: Busy, busy… I’m co-teaching a Yoga and Art Journaling Retreat this Saturday at the North Carolina Botanical Garden. Super excited!!

Busy preparing so my tiny Journal is the perfect remedy for a little art fix!

Watercolor:

Dogs bark at the moon

Wonder why dinner is late

No one likes time change!!!!!!

Art Prescription: Who benefits from time change?

Everyone I know does not like it!!

Why isn’t this something we vote about?
