Remember when you

Made marks on a page for fun

Color just because.

Art Prescription: well why don’t you try that again! It may lower your heart rate and blood pressure, and boost your feel good brain chemicals.

Go ahead… it’s winter and grey… add some color to your day.

Acrylic and crayon:

A turn back to home

My steady gait leads the way

With you on my back.

Art Prescription: trust

Thread crosses feathers

A line across intricate

A plan for shear flight.

Art Prescription : So lovely to have some time to

Art journal. I stitched some feathers and went from there…

Fresh cut zinnias

Butterfly wings and bird’s nests

My favorite things.

Art Prescription: Had a great day sharing art at my Open Studio.

My Open Studio is tomorrow! I’m looking forward to sharing the joy of what inspires me with others!

A lone iris blooms

It’s November already

A lone iris bloom?

Art Prescription: A blooming iris in November is beautiful, but out of season?

Watercolor pencils on index card:

Two days before show

Studio, total chaos

Artist conundrum.

Art Prescription: I love making art and sharing art, working in my journal, making art with other artists.

Opening my studio once a year is a lot of work. Let’s be real. Artists are not sales people.

Here’s where I am…. I will get it together!

Clouds with pink bellies

Rise softly up over trees

November sunset.

Art Prescription: I was out at the farm till dark. After a rainy day the skies cleared and created a beautiful sunset.

Watercolor pencil sketch:

Hi fellow artists,

I’m getting ready for my Open Studio, the one time of the year I clean up and invite people in to share my work.

I always like to have a small treat. This year it’s small ring holders.

Should I sign on front or back?

When out on a branch

Hanging round, trying to be

Just little ole me.

Art Prescription: Paint what you love, feel what you paint, be who you are!
