Caught in the crossfire
You stand like a sitting duck
Cut as low as grass.
Art Prescription: We have all experienced being on the firing end of someone else’s anger. It feels horrible, self-esteem sinks, and leaves us wondering, what was that all about?
We slink home, wallow in self-doubt, go for a walk….
A few steps into
The garden reveals a mass
Of native flowers.
Art Prescription: Sketched at the North Carolina Botanical Garden today on index cards with pen and ink and colored pencil.
Hummer, the subject
So many lines and flowers
Planning a painting.
Art Prescription: This is a mock up design on newsprint to see if I like the composition. The hummingbird should be the focal point.
Sit with me a while
In the sun and fresh spring air
Know what this is, be.
Art Prescription: Life is a complex journey. How would you feel to sit in a field of wildflowers in the sun? Inhale…exhale…
Watercolor:
Cold front, April snow?
Pink petals spiral on street
As trees bend to wind.
Art Prescription: In my quest to find balance and happiness in this one precious life, I truly believe what we focus on is what we get. That being said, I’ve been awake since about 2 am because I chose to eat not one, but two ice-cream sandwiches after dinner last night.
Art journal with mixed-media:
I’m so grateful for the friends I’ve made in the blogosphere. I appreciate your every like and comment.
Rode my boy Finn today and then he got a grassy treat. We have to let them out slow on this rich spring grass which is full of sugar.
He dove into the ripe green taking big mouthfuls.
A Ball canning jar
Perfect azalea vase
Cheerful spring posey.
Art Prescription: One of my favorites, a posey. I like simple. I like easy fresh lines. Life and change overwhelm me… I return to a simple posey again and again.
Watercolor:
Inhale, soil and moss
Exhale, birds fill the fresh air
Inhale, where are you?
Art Prescription: Often we are not in our bodies.
Acrylic left over paint brushed onto an index card. Then I drew with colored pencil. So fun!
April buds to bloom
