A desk pick-me-up

Miniature office art

Little reminder.

Art Prescription:  I don’t have a “desk” at work, as I move from room to room. I do notice that there are regularly posted comics or inspirational quotes around those who do have a designated space. So I did a little index card art in honor of “desk art.” We all work hard…doesn’t hurt to have joyful reminders in our spaces!! Breathe!

Plan, to paint cosmos

Muse intervened, coneflower

Plein air painting, joy!

Art Prescription:  All set up outside with my paint and easel. Hat and sunscreen, check, I set out to paint my explosion of cosmos. Stroked and splattered with teals and yellow. Decided I would add a few cone flowers for the background, and then the muse just ruled.  Perhaps tomorrow I will paint cosmos!

Army of songbirds

Descend on intruder hawk

The war of nature.

Art Prescription:  While taking a ride on my bike, I noticed a bunch of racket going on in the woods. I stopped and scanned the trees for the action. Then I saw a rooster-sized hawk being bombarded by many songbirds…cardinals, bluejays, woodpeckers…They were all working as a team to make the intruder flee. Finally after much feather pecking, the hawk took off to nearby pines. The persistent songbirds followed. Amazing!

Artful plate arrives

Basil, limes, jalapenos

Vietnamese lunch!

Art Prescription:  We went with good friends today to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Experiential, really, proving that you don’t have to travel far to find food prepared with deep cultural roots. Each plate they brought to the table was a work of art! Here is my sketch…
