Blue Skies July July 26, 2014

Body moves in time

Her white hips sway and sashay

By the lush corn field.

Art Prescription:  A majestic trail ride this morning with Lacey! I felt we moved as one through the wooded path and around tall, lush corn stalks. Except, she cheated and took a bite out of one…don’t tale!

It’s a Journey July 24, 2014

Colorful journey

Air, sunshine and laid-back vibe

Relax and recharge.

Art Prescription:  Tired after my RN day…found poetry. Yes, I do notice the “get-away” theme.

3 x 5 index card art. I love being able to do these! Brings me satisfaction to the most stressful days.

Spa Time July 22, 2014

Rejuvenation

A place to go to deep breath

Regroup, rest, do art.

Art Prescription:  My assignment from a customer, spa art, has me day-dreaming about such a place. Waterfalls, massages, long walks in nature, time to contemplate, inspired art…Wanna go?

Here is how my piece from yesterday turned out.

Quiet Walk July 21, 2014

Thick, humid July

Grey broody sky hangs heavy

Sly seasonal shift.

Art Prescription:  Twas unusually quiet on my evening walk. Just a couple of frogs croaking and an occasional bird. I sense the season beginning to change. Spring and summer are petering out, and though we have many warm days ahead, there is a subtle change in the air.

This is a work in progress with many layers so far…not sure where it’s going…

Life is Story July 17, 2014

Her or His story

Glory moments left unheard

Unless we listen.

Art Prescription:  At work at my nursing job today I was thinking about the patient’s need to tell his or her story. Too bad in the computerized, fast, electronic world of taking care of humans, the time to sit and truly listen to your patient’s story is being lost. Good health care providers realize that this is what “care,” “health-care,” is all about. Standing tall on my soap box!!!
