Steam rises from cup
My morning is slow, leisure
French toast with my mate.
Art Prescription: Isn’t it lovely to have a slow morning? No rushing or appointments, running out the door with yogurt in hand. Time to sit with a cat or two in my lap, and watch the birds.
Little bit nippy, but I did head out to my studio to paint…
Acrylic over collage 6 x 6
Dapper daffodil
Sparks yellow in the garden
Sets spiffy spring style.
Art Prescription: Well we do need a few trend setters. Soft, gentle, dapper beings who will lead us wisely into spring, and set the tone of peace and collaboration for the good of all.
Index card with colored pencil and finger painting:
Operation fluff
Two pups sniff each blade of grass
Unruly locks, grin.
Art Prescription: I’m dog sitting for my neighbor and these pups are cute as can be.
Pen and Ink sketch
Old tree swing sits still
Children grown, laughter awaits
Next generation.
Art Prescription: All things planned and planted with love find a way to send laughter into the trees.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
A sun-lit meadow
Perfect for a grazing cow
Spring trees burst alive.
Art Prescription: These little cows are so cute. Hoping to capture them with watercolor.
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor
New cows on the block
I stop road-side to admire
Big and round soft eyes.
Art Prescription: For those of you who have followed my blog, you will remember Lil’ Bull. Well these two new cows are an addition to the farm.
These are works in progress. Tomorrow I will decide what to do for a background.
Works In Progress – watercolor:
Blue heron saunters
A pair of hawks circle above
Barred owls begin their calls.
Art Prescription: At dusk the bog begins to wake up. Time to start looking down a bit, instead of just up at the trees. First snake. A small adorable fella.
Index card with finger painting, pen and ink:
A bank of yellow
Dainty Trout Lily curtsies
Wildflower prelude.
Art Prescription: We went to Sandy Creek Park to bird watch. The explosion of Trout Lily wildflowers along the bank of the water was breath-taking. This is one of the first ephemeral wildflowers to announce spring’s arrival.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
The music did come
Spring has sprung, the birds do sing
Nature’s symphony.
Remaining leaves dance
To the Ides of March strong wind
Azaleas bud.
Art Prescription: The leaves that tried to hang on are now being finally blown about by March wind, making room for buds galore. As these crispy leaves dance down the street, I notice much to write and paint about. My backyard Azaleas are full of buds.
