Pure simplicity
To practice one thing over
Until it feels right.
Art Prescription: I shy from doing things twice. Gemini…might get bored. But I do find great benefit from doing a series. I learn from each brush stroke.

Fresh Laundry May 9, 2017
Dried by sun and breeze
Clothes and towels hang on line
Load of fresh laundry.
Art Prescription: My grandmother’s towels smelled like fresh air and sunshine. I can see her right now with an apron on, clothespins in the pocket, reaching up to the clothesline to hang a fresh load of laundry.

Do Over May 8, 2017
Reincarnation
Pigs became fall at the lake
Tropical palm trees.
Art Prescription: Like life…art can be all over the place. And sometimes we need a “do over.” Today I had many of these as nothing I painted resonated with my soul.
Here is a many, many, layers final piece:
Re-worked May 6, 2017
Like the Eagle’s song
I’m pushing it to limits
With color and marks.
Art Prescription: Thinking last nights painting was a bit dull, I went back into it with color, graphite, and colored pencil. Could be just emotion…
Finn Grazing May 5, 2017
Finn grazing, spring grass
So ripe and green, expansive
Buries his nose, bliss.

Confused? May 4, 2017
Seasons come and go
She forgets where her keys are
And paints a fall scene.
Art Prescription: Life moves so fast, it all blends into one.
Fall collage, based on a real collage of elements last fall. Just felt like it.
Lotus II May 3, 2017
Lotus, sun symbol
Marks the beginning and end
Purification.
Art Prescription: Perhaps our forebears were very smart. Do we pay attention to when we need to cleanse? End something, and begin anew?

Perspective May 2, 2017
It wasn’t sunlight
That so captured the morning
Sudden immense shade.
Art Prescription: Sometimes you get caught between light and shade.

Pastel Play May 1, 2017
Under the barn’s shade
With a view of the horses
I play with pastels.
Art Prescription: Try something new.

And each being has weakness
Focus on your strengths!
