Smell of a wood-fire
Rain soaked leaves land in puddles
Umbrella in hand.
Art Prescription: Okay so the weather doesn’t usually get me down…but I’m so sick of rain I could scream!!! Okay there! So I picked out a stamp with some lovely pink flowers for today’s Art Prescription. Because like me you might could use a little tropical inspiration.
Index card with colored pencil:
Field of thistle seed
A flock of Goldfinches perch
On nature’s feeder.
Art Prescription: Mason Farm!
Index card with colored pencil:
Dirty fingernails
Weeding and pulling, planting
Bed of fall pansies.
Art Prescription: Getting my hands into the dirt…yep…it’s all that.
Index card with colored pencil:
A sole butterfly
Flaps her golden yellow wings
Over rain puddles.
Art Prescription: Alas the butterflies are few…fall beauty is plentiful. Time to switch gears a bit.
Index card with colored pencil:
Anniversary
Accomplishments, accolades
Like peanut butter.
Art Prescription: Twenty-four years ago I walked down the aisle to join my best friend in marriage.
Peanut butter cookies!
As the trees shed leaves
So begins winter season
Birds sing renewal.
Art Prescription: As we begin the season of Yin, going into the darker days, I have a sense of renewal. Cleaning the clutter from the year…preparing for the holidays and my open studio.
Index card with Sumi-ink:
The ghosts and goblins
Roam the earth for tricks and treats
Clocks fall back an hour.
Art Prescription: We had fewer than usual trick or treaters last night. We sat on the front porch with a fire.
Index card with colored pencil:
So close your muzzle
Soft, warm, breath fogs my glasses
We inhale slow now.
Art Prescription: Sketching at the farm. The smear of brown is where Carson licked my sketchbook! That’s Carson’s nose.
Proud as a Peacock
Sumptuous turquoise, purple
A flamboyant flare.
Art Prescription: What makes you swell with pride? What makes you want to show-off all your feathers? What makes you get up every morning with a smile? Well….go do that!!
