ICAD starts June one
Index card art for two months
Daily challenges!
Art Prescription: So ICAD 2016 starts tomorrow. Most days through June and July I will be working from prompts from Daisy Yellow http://daisyyellowart.com/vividlife/icad-2016-prompts-week-1
I did this last year and it’s such a fun way to create everyday. As you all know I create on index cards all through the year. They lend themselves to all kinds of media.
Join us!!

Rain bounces and drips
Puddles form, run-off races
Garden drinks it in!
Art Prescription: Hurricane season here in the Carolinas often brings welcome rain. A good excuse to cuddle up with someone you love, or multiple someone’s you love…family nap.
Index card with pen and colored pencils:

What if I’m enough?
Messy dreamer, artist-like
And loves so deeply.
Art Prescription: Seems the whole universe has advise on how to maintain a happy relationship. In fact it’s a national past-time with loads of magazine and radio articles devoted to this issue. Just look at the tabloids as you check out at grocery store.
What if the person we love, loves us back just because! Because we are the one person in the universe that makes them happy. And that is just enough!!
Index card with watercolor:

Off into the mist
Of green grass, afternoon sun
Finn in element.
Art Prescription: Not much is prettier or more peaceful than watching a herd of horses let out onto a grassy pasture. Rode Finn bare-back…Friday ritual..and put conditioner in his tail and mane. Sublime.

Attitude, a little thing
A BIG difference.
