With a playful mind

A bag of sunflower seed

Becomes an art tote.

Art Prescription:  I asked myself, “what if.” I was actually thinking about the bags that Finn’s feed comes in, I’ll try that next. But on hand was an almost empty bag of sunflower seed…so here is a little birdy art tote!! Full art copyright goes to Southern States…ooooh maybe I should show this to them!

Dream Garden February 18, 2017

Dream of June garden

Lost in the scent of flowers

Where butterflies fly.

Art Prescription: Played with mixed media on a YES canvas today. Laid acrylic paint down with a brayer, then added some collage and other marks. Then wrote in French, “Look for me in the garden, where butterflies fly and I’m lost in the flowers.”

Just a Suggestion February 13, 2017

Red roses and hearts

Line the aisles at the market

In case you forgot!

Art Prescription: Valentine’s merchandise came out the day after Christmas. And now hoping to prey on those late prograsstinators, you cannot ignore the plethora of heart balloons and rose arrangements.

“What’s love got to do with it.”

Suddenly February 12, 2017

Suddenly it’s spring

A shift in the wind, a tease

Winter is not done.

Art Prescription:  Very spring-like day here in North Carolina. I have a feeling that winter has another round of frigid. Right now…I turned my AC on…in February?
