Mocha colored creek

Runs over piled rough branches

Trees, cast dark shadows.

Art Prescription: From a ride in the woods…

Artful plate arrives

Basil, limes, jalapenos

Vietnamese lunch!

Art Prescription: We went with good friends today to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Experiential, really, proving that you don’t have to travel far to find food prepared with deep cultural roots. Each plate they brought to the table was a work of art! Here is my sketch…

Through the flower vase

The sun settles low. Night-time

Slinks in with the moon.

Art Prescription: Significant week in many ways…ready for night-time to slink in! A quick semi-abstract watercolor floral…art therapy for me!

Plethora of wings

Swallowtails glide, touch down on

Flora lush from rain.

Art Prescription: Have you noticed all the butterflies? There seems to be more than usual…all the rain? They are so delicate.

Down a country lane

Past cedar fences and fields

Cows graze, roosters crow!

Art Prescription: Take a drive in the country!

Certain change in light

Early eve hum of crickets

Life can be fragile

Take care my good friend, find peace

Live each day with love.

Art Prescription: Some very good friends of ours lost their house to a fire last night. My usual attempt at making the Art Prescription a positive place, I hang my head in sorrow for them. Go now and kiss your mate…love on your pet…be thankful for everything you can touch.

Studio feline

Marks me as his while I paint

Stretches on wool rug.

Art Prescription: My black house cat Matisse meows from sun-up to sun-down. High maintenance, but I love him dearly. This afternoon I took him with me out to my studio. He didn’t say a word!! Meandered around, slinking by my ankles and stretching out on my rug. I think he knew he was in sacred space. (and had me all to himself, spoiled) A follower of mine introduced me to index card art… thanks http://girlunwinding.wordpress.com/
