Rises to summer

Her heart open and chooses

To blossom, unfurl.

Art Prescription: Super excited about our second Yoga and Art Journaling Retreat tomorrow!

Out theme is summer, right after the solstice.

Summer is yang, heat, heart, blossoming.

Tremble in my arms

Welcome to the human world

Little ball of fluff.

Art Prescription: So, those of you who follow me will remember last fall I rescued a group of kittens and got them adopted out. Well, try as I might, I’ve not been able to catch the mother feral cat.

So…kittens round two. Caught this little guy in a holly bush this morning. Two or three kittens at large.

Hope is a thing with kitten paws!

Women of the world

Change sheets, prepare food, tend cats,

Kids, husbands, and dogs.

2. Here’s to women!
3. 

Like kudzu in woods

Love spins around, delicate

Fragile as first kiss.

Art Prescription: Enough said…

She looked upon nest

Wondering who she should be

And what to do next.

Art Prescription: Our Purple Finches must be new parents.

Art Journal: We all wonder who we should be any given day…

Sleep fifteen hours

And still tired, pull of bed

Sometimes we need rest.

Art Prescription: ever have days where you want to crawl back into bed with the air conditioner blasting away cool air. Cats find their sweet spot beside you and beckon you to stay put.

Peace…

Sweltering hot sun

Purple Echinacea

Reaches for the blaze.

Art Prescription: I love my evening garden time, checking out what’s blooming. Purple Echinacea and gardenias are the current stars. Bee-balm which invites hummingbirds is about to burst.

Pen and ink sketch en plein air and watercolor:

A single focus

Grass! And grazing! Made for this

In our DNA.

Art Prescription: These creatures are wired to follow their DNA. They thrive on simple pleasures.
