Reincarnation
A chance to do it over
Same lessons next time.
Art Prescription: Seems the lessons we need to learn follow us throughout life. Ain’t it grande!! Everyday an adventure!
A re-do piece of art, even cut up to find a small portion I liked! HA!
In field of plenty
Grateful for the chance to bloom
Flowers beam with pride.
Art Prescription: As always when I have a chance to share watercolor, personalities blossom. It’s a bit of a hard task I ask…to let go…let the paint do the work…stay in the now. I so enjoy where each individual takes this.
Here is my first wash:
And here are the flowers that bloomed:
The river rushed by
Gurgling with white water
Around the dark rocks.
Art Prescription: Today we took a drive to a small town near home called Bynum. It’s a historic mill town beside the Haw River. We walked along the old Bynum Bridge which is now just for walking and admired some songbirds. Then we hiked along the river listening to the water.
Index card with watercolor:
Memories like film
Flashes of sweet life again
How about the NOW!
Art Prescription: Just a little nudge to live each day in the now…
Staple collage on index card with colored pencil:
Nature sings with pride
The mockingbird swoops the cat
To protect her nest.
Art Prescription: Survival. All we need is love…
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor and pen
Turquoise, white, and red
Sat unused on the palette
A zinnia born.
Art Prescription: I finished two trees for UNC Hospitals today. Bittersweet…this work I do…honored. I had left over paint. So I headed to my studio, (I paint in my garage for these big pieces), and some zinnias bloomed.
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor, stamps, and acrylic:
All along the ground
Wildflowers mingled with grass
Sway in the saddle.
Art Prescription: Took a long trail ride today! Perfect weather and the scent of honeysuckle filled the air. Along the ground I saw purple-spring vetch, clover, and purple nettle.
Wet in wet watercolor:
Pure instinct, the flight
The wave of wing to his mate
And the nest begins.
Art Prescription: My chickadee batch fledged. And now a pair of blue birds are claiming the box. I adore seeing them messaging each other with subtle wing waves.
Index card with graphite and colored pencil:
News takes breath away
Wide awake at four a. m.
Life is so fragile.
Art Prescription: Live in the moment of each day.
8 x 11 watercolor
Window to the soul
A place you gaze when in love
Where you find the truth.
Art Prescription: I did this sketch one night in bed. Added colored pencil just now.
