When the cows come home
August turns to September
Who is keeping count?
Art Prescription: So I worked on a cow and calf painting for hours today…and it was just not happening! The muse out to lunch? So with abandon I painted a sunflower, and the colorful chaos suits my mood.
Mixed media on watercolor paper:
Crows watch from above
As one by one rows of corn
Disappear, harvest.
Art Prescription: And so the tall leafy corn once again returns to the soil, the precious seed harvested.
Index card with watercolor and my chop that says “hope”
Big white clouds billow
Grey line of thunder showers
Cows low and huddle.
Art Prescription: Watercolor sketch 5 x 7
World without judgement
No place for criticism
Acceptance is love.
Art Prescription: In the current atmosphere of severe judgement, I hope we each can go deep in our hearts and accept others with love.
Watercolor:
And then it all comes
Together, the path, vision
Flight, freedom, take place.
Art Prescription: From the mosaic I did for yesterday’s post I then negative painted and butterflies took flight out of chaos. What fun to start with a random design and find magic on the page!!
8 1/2 x 11 mixed media with collage and negative painting
Mid-season clearing
Like all of life, clear to make
Room for new blossoms.
Art Prescription: I planted new flowers that will delight me through fall.
Index card with collage, pen and ink, and sewing:
Across the field, leaves
Barely move on a very
Hot end of July.
Art Prescription: Pen and ink sketch on index card:
Pull, weed, dig, and sweat
No glamorous white gloves here
New flowers, worth it!
Art Prescription: So my bee balm has run its course. I made space for a new flower garden that will delight me until fall.
Index card:
Running down a dream
You know perfect bliss right then
Some least expected.
Art Prescription: Sometimes what we are searching for is delivered to us without asking.
Index card with collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil:
In this moment, now
I feel peace, content, and safe
A mantra for all.
