My sweet boy Finn:

What you focus on

May come into your life now

So be positive.

Art Prescription: we are what we think..,

Pieces of puzzle

An idea that’s in parts

Imagination.

Art Prescription: I’m working on an idea, and like cooking it’s taking some prep work to pull it all together.

Stay tuned:

When confidence soars

And you gallop free to roll

Know earth will catch you.

Art Prescription: Safety and security. No small matter.

Big sheets of hard rain

Pellet the windows, tap, tap

Thirsty green garden.

Art Prescription: in an effort to make a mate for my last post I did a hydrangea. I’m not as happy with this composition or color palette. What can I learn here?

Mixed media:

Perennial plants

Coral bells bloom in the shade

My backyard garden.

Art Prescription: The leaves are multi-colored, spectacular on their own. Then red-green spikes boasts a plethora of white blooms.

Acrylic wash, colored pencil, ink, and collage:

July under tree

I watch my breath in the shade

To find peace in heart.

Art Prescription: Where can you go to find peace?

Mixed media painting: this is a version of what I did for the Brushes with Cancer project.

On a busy day

A simple white posey vase

Will do a soul good.

Art Prescription: simple being…simply being… simple be ing

Insects sing summer

Clicks and buzzes in the fields

Grasshopper takes flight.

Art Prescription: It’s definitely bug season! Bees, ants, mosquitos, praying mantis, beetles, flys, “biting flies!,” hornets, cicadas, dragonflies, we like them, and name what you have in your neck of the woods.

Here is the tree I did earlier. I inked the leaves and tree.

A storm comes in fast

Then leaves revealing clear skies

And we sigh relief.

Art Prescription: Each of us must weather a few storms. Which is why we must be super grateful for the clear skied days.
