Mid-Summer July 13, 2014

Mid-July humid

Morning walk, cicadas whirl

Sweat tickles my back.

Art Prescription:  The joys of summer are vast. Morning walks are one of them. A brisk gate before the sun beams down with her stinging rays. 

I’m working on an Art Prescription Kit with assorted collage papers and instructions for some art journaling pages!

Summer Rain July 9, 2014

After summer rain

Air fresh, scent of moist, rich earth

Droplets on petals.

Art Prescription:  Set out for my evening walk with thunder in the far background. Next thing I know the wind kicks up and big drops begin to fall. I arrived home soaked…and happy for my garden!

Shimmering Forest July 6, 2014

A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.

Art Prescription: Celebrating Independence Day weekend by hiking at Mason Farm Nature Preserve. Can’t think of anything more freeing than to roam around on open land watching nature and all her beauties.

Patience July 5, 2014

Patience builds in us

A humble gentle spirit

Warm breath of a horse.

Art Prescription:  Soft horse…

 

Freedom July 4, 2014

Safe, let freedom ring

Our land, towns, cities, country

Soldiers made it so.

Art Prescription:  I want to honor the many warriors that have gone for years to defend and protect our country. I will be the first to admit I do not understand war. But I know I wake up day after day and feel safe, and that I think is a gift.
