Blue-Grey Knat Catcher
Builds her spring nest with lichens
So industrial!
Art Prescription: Found a Blue-Grey Knat Catcher’s nest at Mason Farm. What a joy to watch the female sit and the male fly in for occasional relief.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Road-side clean up crew
Beauty comes in many ways
The turkey vulture.
Art Prescription: As I drove about country roads this morning, I encountered several instances where turkey vultures were having their breakfast. Now I know this is when most go oooooooohhhhh! But perhaps we need to have more respect for these street cleaners. I didn’t paint one because I do not have a great photo reference, but next time you see some big wings circling high above give credit to the vultures of our world.
Index card with stamp and colored pencil:
Hey, wake up it’s spring
Fast, furious thunder-storms
Birds bathe in run-off.
Art Prescription: Caught in a down-pour today, home wet. And thankful for natures reassuring rhythms.
Index card with collage and colored pencil:
Ponder as I walk
Reflection of elements
World in a raindrop.
Slender green fellow
Slithers past the green and golds
S shaped messenger.
Art Prescription: Snake medicine is powerful. It is the energy of wholeness, and the ability to experience anything willingly and without resistance. “Without resistance!!!” No!
Letting go of that which no longer serves us is a very tough life lesson. Change is super hard!
What makes you feel light as a feather? What weighs you down?
Like snake, life is about gliding through the grass as if floating on air.
Index card with pen and colored pencil:
Birds delight in air
Build their nests among blossoms
Pairs work together.
Art Prescription: Everywhere I look I see a pair of birds.
