Passing through a place
Brief and momentary stay
Life…is just like this.
Art Prescription: Oh how we dwell on things…ruminate and review and try to solve. When really just like the wind…”this” is only passing through out lives.
Index card with collage and pen and ink:
Yellow Pine Warbler
Sings in tree tops, evasive
Suddenly appears!
Art Prescription: I’ve been trying to see a Pine Warbler for a while now with my binoculars. “Hunting” the woods, listening for their song, and scanning the tree-tops for a view. Then today there they were, a pair, right in full view. And yes they are cute as can be.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Musical note sounds
Children practice their octaves
Harmonic series.
Art Prescription: Long day at work with surgeries in the morning and CPR this afternoon. Even after many years as a nurse, I suppose it’s good to practice a skill that truly saves lives. Pray I never need to use them.
As I walked to get a breath of fresh air, I heard music coming from my neighbors house. They have four lovely children and I hear piano and trombone.
Index card with colored pencil and collage:
Days come and they go
Moments come and they pass by
Don’t wish away now.
Four jet-black crows glide
Feathers dark as coal glimmer
A murderous bunch.
Art Prescription: Nature can be gruesome. It’s survival of the fittest. Did you know a group of crows is called a “murder of crows.” What can we learn from the hunters and the hunted? Beauty and the beast…
Index card with graphite and colored pencil:
As robins chuckle
Quaker Ladies rise from moss
Spring! Now in session.
Art Prescription: Great day for field sketching.
Art Journal:
Cold acquiesces
Begins to unfurl, let go
Of its heavy touch.
Art Prescription: One day at a time we ask for grace in the form of spring.
8 x 8 finger painting
A handful of mane
Legs tightly wrap around your
Sweet and fuzzy back.
Art Prescription: Perfect day for a bareback ride.
8 x 8 watercolor finger painting:
Walking Mason Farm
Hunting for dreams, quiet, birds
These woods, I belong.
Art Prescription: Each week spring is getting more restless to make herself known.
8 x 8 collage with recycled mail:
Sometimes no means yes
Especially with your art
Don’t stop believing.
Art Prescription: If we didn’t believe in fairies, a fairy would fall dead every second! Believe in yourself! Believe in your art! No one can do it like you…so bring it on!
