Life is a pole vault

Jump as high as you can, and

Careful where you land.

Art Prescription:  Life is busy. We need to conserve our “pole vaulting” energy for when the going gets rough. On a daily basis it’s best to take small, manageable jumps, ones we can succeed.

Squeezed, rushing with time

She reached for the sun, her hope

To burst into bloom.

Art Prescription:  Days of racing with the clock does not do the human body much good. We all want to bloom our best right? The days are long and making time to walk in nature or go visit Finn helps me slow down take some deep breaths.

Tangle of flowers

Deep in the field where sunlight

Plays on soft petals.

Art Prescription:  What a fun time I had today playing with alcohol inks with my art group! Thank you Farley, who hosted and provided all the new and fun supplies to experiment with. We used photo paper, alcohol, and alcohol inks. For an hour or more there was not a sound except for a, “wow.” We dripped, sprayed, doodled, and watched as our works took on a life of their own. Not for the exact of heart! Alcohol inks are discovery at its best!! A great tool to have in your Art Prescription cabinet.

At the gates of fall

Thousands of Queen Anne’s Lace seeds

Await departure.

Art Prescription:  Hike at Mason Farm…fall is making her way in. Lots of wildflowers have gone to seed. And so the life-cycle continues.
