Supine on the couch
My “adventures” have caught up
Nature reassures.
Art Prescription: After such a stressful couple of weeks, I think today I caved into the exhaustion. I’m not one to be down, but the forces as of late seem to be gravity at it’s best. I did wander out into my garden late afternoon to pick some flowers…simple things bring me the most joy!
8 x 8 pen and ink sketch with watercolor
White moon, a blue sky
Thick rows of velvety corn
Rode-side Silver Queen.
Art Prescription: It seems the corn doubles in size each time I make my way out to the farm. So lush and green, full of promise. Soon we will have fresh Silver Queen corn to bring home and shuck. Delicate sweet corn.
Index card with pen and ink and watercolor:
Glad is in the heart
On their sturdy dark-green stalks
Gladiolas beam.
Art Prescription: Visited a dear friend to talk about life as we know it. Beside her porch is a lush garden of tall gladiolas. Glad to have good friends!!
Index card with watercolor:
Tropicana Rose
Delicate hues of soft pinks
Sumptuous orange.
Art Prescription: So lovely to have cut flowers from your own garden.
Index card with watercolor:
Architectural
Constructed of sun-baked bricks
Dwelling place for gods.
Art Prescription: With this prompt, pyramids, I can only think of how ancient civilization really is. Humbling…

And the street dancer know that
It’s all poetry.

ICAD starts June one
Index card art for two months

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.

A crew of women
The horses watch as their tack

Illustration on a 5 x 7 index card:
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!!
