Sketching with Matilda November 15, 2016

Warm and cozy eve

Care for a special kitty

Sketch with Matilda.

Art Prescription:  Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know Matilda, the cat I helped rescue from 9 degree winter nights. She then found her forever home with my neighbors, and lucky me I pet sit her often as they are world travelers! I love her like one of my own, and when her parents are gone I sketch and read at her house.

Advice November 14, 2016

Consider the source

When people give you advice

Thank them, and sit still.

Art Prescription:  Someone else’s bad experience in life has no bearing on your experience. The two are totally unrelated because we all have our own journey to live.

Paper patient gown

I disrobe for a napkin?

You in your white coat.

Art Prescription:  I know it’s election day…hard to top that, but I’ve been taking my clothes off all over town, lol! Don’t worry, just my wellness visits. I never noticed all that much before how cold and uncomfortable paper patient gowns were until I recently saw a new physician who uses the real thing. Soft gown and a real blanket, how comforting. When you already feel exposed and vulnerable, it’s amazing how small things matter. Kept my socks on!!!
