Words for everyday

Think them and say them aloud

Kiss, hello, good-bye!

A rose is a rose

And how you view it is art!

Speak your own true voice!

Art Prescription: One of my favorite things about art is the experience of people taking a subject and making it true to their spirit. While working on watercolor roses today, my friend Farley Bernholz, took it to a whole new level. Go Farley! Now this is expressive!!!

What IS working now?

Focus on the positive!

Lavender, salt, bath!!!

Art Prescription: So my yoga teacher has been saying to us, “focus on what feels good, what feels right, what serves your breath, your body?” How can we pay attention to what IS working! Our health, our wellness, our spouses, our homes, and a hot bath with lavender and salts!! Namaste!!

Birches drape river

Clear night, moon cast long shadows

Dance upon water.

Art Prescription: Cold walk, wind brisk on my face. Love clear nights with a winter moon.

Dogs bark. UPS

Delivers boxes with bows

Good tidings travel.

Art Prescription: Notice UPS making more trips up and down the street…tis the season. And then I think of those who don’t get any packages, those who are lonely, those who need a friend…What is one kind thing you can do this season for those in need? One kind act.
