Black and white kitty
Where do you live pretty cat?
Friendly meow-er.
Art Prescription: Oh dear for the 5th day in a row there is a black and white cat wandering around my street. I, of course, gave it food and water and some attention. By today I am highly suspicious she is a stray. Put signs up around neighborhood and rode my bike around to ask, “do you know this cat?” Why would the universe send me a stray cat right now with Surtex, New York coming immediately? There is always time to love…
Little green tree frog
Iridescent shine, black eyes
Sticky feet, jumper.
Art Prescription: A weekend for reptiles! Saw two black snakes…they are good. And at the end of my day today the cutest little green tree frog hopped into my studio. Hello fella! Directed him outside where the evening catch is. Surtex is about 2 weeks away and I’m feeling a little wound tight. Good to have nature hop into my journey to remind me that it’s all about joy!
Determination
Blue-eyed grass rises in woods
Reaching for the sun.
Art Prescription: Sisyrinchium angustifolium, or Blue-eyed Grass are happy little blooms that greet you along wooded trails. They are bluish-purple and just say “Hi.” If you are in a hurry, you may not notice them, so slow down and look at what’s blooming at your feet!
Squirrel from the start
Bushy tail twitches, eyes watch
Nature or nurture?
Art Prescription: A baby squirrel crossed my path today. Little rat with a tail. And yet all the squirrel-like mannerisms were apparent. Did he/she learn this from a parent or is it just DNA? Either way she knew just what to do…swish her little tail and bolt up a tree with athletic finesse. Some things we are born with and some things we learn along the way. Either way it’s all about survival. Honor your senses!
Neglected plants wilt
Tended to they grow, blossom
Relationships too!
Art Prescription: Every day we both consciously and unconsciously decide where to put our energy and love. Sometimes the spiral of life is going so fast that we spend our time speeding around playing catch-up. For me knowing what truly makes me happy and balanced helps me tend the right garden. But…oh…it’s so easy to get caught up in chaos. Usually our body or our mind will “real” us back in and make us think, what do I really want for my one precious life.
Soft, fluffy, pillows
For sleep, for naps, luxury
Satiny, smooth, rest!
Art Prescription: While tending to my feline pride today, my new watercolor fabric arrived! Perfect day to sew pillows. The fabric looks great and my sewing will-do. Good to learn something new. With each new project I appreciate my 7th grade math teacher Mr. Scott.
Some days have more WOW!
Challenges, worries, heart-break
Life throws you a pitch.
Art Prescription: Started my day rushing my cat Maya to the vet. She is home now after being sedated and having an abscess drained…poor girl. When something like this happens all of a sudden everything else in your universe comes to a screeching halt as you realize there is nothing more important than this little creature. Life, love, gets your total attention.
An entrepreneur
Launches with the heart, takes risks
Builds success in life!!
Art Prescription: Creativity means doing, managing, producing, promoting, and building the business you see in your mind. It’s persistence, stubbornness, tiredness, joyfulness, sleeplessness…what other ness comes to mind. The support of your spouse, family, and friends means the world…they believe in you! Do you believe in yourself?
Anticipation
Momentum that carries you
Hope, dreams, to do list!
Art Prescription: Wonderful feedback this weekend at the Durham Art Walk on my newest Bird Song Collection! People made a bee-line to these new fun mixed-media pieces. Good for me because I love doing them. Hopes, dreams, and creativity are at the core of my life…I am very fortunate to have the loving support of my husband!
Karma goes around
Bricks laid with love are secure
With lies, no framework.
Art Prescription: Nature does a great job with teaching us about reliability. Seasons come and go, and nature knows her beauty to perform. Nature cannot fake you out…the bees know which way to go!! Trust your inner wisdom for guidance. Only you know what soothes your soul.
