A new magazine
The air conditioner churns
Cool air sweeps my cheeks.
Art Prescription: What a luxury! To pause in the middle of the day to rest and peruse my newest Stampington magazine. Inspiration page to page. And my garden abloom.

Summertime June 25, 2014
Sounds of the steel drums
Blast from a speaker on wheels
Time for ice-cream truck!
Art Prescription: Did you have an ice-cream truck come through your neighborhood in summer?
Greetings June 24, 2014
A simple greeting
A pure smile to a stranger
The act of “Hello.”
Art Prescription: One smile can change someone’s day.
Tools of the Trade June 23, 2014
An artist’s tool box
Brushes, palette knives, scissors
A finger painting!
Art Prescription: Art Prescription group today in my studio. Our project was to start a painting, and then paint over it, and over it again. The process of letting go what was there before. And then finally to cut that painting up into pieces and see what emerges…stories, tales.
Sing True June 22, 2014
I forgo my voice
Trying to sing like others
My throat trembles truth.
Art Prescription: Why does it always take so long to circle back around to our truths?
After a Ride June 21, 2014
After morning ride
She gets a spray, cool water
Returns to the hay.
Art Prescription: Rode Miss Lacey this morning. Went early to beat the heat. I love spraying her down with cool water, washing the saddle-marked sweat from her white body. She enjoys it too! I return her to the paddock where fresh hay awaits. A grazing horse…Zen.
New Tricks June 20, 2014
A steep learning curve
Teach an old dog new brand new tricks
Ghost in the machine.
Art Prescription: I spent 3 hours today at the Apple store for a class. Then my computer misbehaved and I ended up needing the “Genius Bar.” Sensory overload!!!. I’m pooped. And don’t have any new art today, because I sired my time out to technology. Sad…really.
Summer Dreaming June 19, 2014
Bougainvillea
A long walk on the hot sand
Sea glimmers turquoise.
Art Prescription: I’m off from my nursing job, and dreaming of vacation. Long beach walks, sea gulls laughing, salty breeze, palm trees rattling in the wind, and sunsets over the sea.
Kittens June18, 2014
Bounce, jump, side-ways, purr
Run full speed for ten minutes
Then collapse asleep.
Art Prescription: Went to draw with a friend of mine who is hand-bottle feeding orphaned cats. Hard to draw a thing in constant motion…till it sleeps. Art journal page…Deep bow to my friend!!
Glamour June 17, 2014
Diamonds and pearls
Everyday glamorous
Audrey Hepburn chic.
Art Prescription: As I sit here all moist with perspiration (aka sweat), in my summer shorts and tees, I wonder did these glamour queens always look this fresh? Did they wear diamonds and pearls to the movies and eat buttered popcorn with their bare hands? Surely they held their pinky finger just so while sipping tea. I’ll be right back….I’m boiling some fresh corn on the cob!!
