Clean-Up Crew May 7, 2016

Road-side clean up crew

Beauty comes in many ways

The turkey vulture.

Art Prescription:  As I drove about country roads this morning, I encountered several instances where turkey vultures were having their breakfast. Now I know this is when most go oooooooohhhhh! But perhaps we need to have more respect for these street cleaners. I didn’t paint one because I do not have a great photo reference, but next time you see some big wings circling high above give credit to the vultures of our world.

Spring! May 6, 2016

Hey, wake up it’s spring

Fast, furious thunder-storms

Birds bathe in run-off.

Art Prescription:  Caught in a down-pour today, home wet. And thankful for natures reassuring rhythms.

Fresh wildflower wreaths

With pansies, bluets, roses

Bountiful circle.

Art Prescription: Anything in a circle is so pleasing. I think it taps into something deep and symmetrical in our DNA. It’s fun to make a real nature mandala. These are made with models from my garden and watercolor.

Just trying too hard

Uses so much energy

Life is about flow.

Art Prescription:  Seems this lesson has presented itself multiple times for me this week.
