Grey cold rainy clouds
A chance of snow, sleeting now
Winds of change harbor.
Art Prescription: A grey cold day is good for extra cat snuggles. Sketch what you have in front of you. And it’s okay to dream about flowers. Here’s an painting that is designed to look antique, like the lining of my grandmother’s hope chest.
Start fresh clean new day
Steaming coffee and crystal
Clear blue sky hello!
Art Prescription: Ever just look at the sky? Especially on a day when there is not a cloud present, just miles and miles of blue. Match that hue on your palette.
Strong and sure branches
Establish new growth upward
Silhouette cool sky.
Art Prescription: Even though lots of folks are wearing shorts here in NC in February, I’m still enjoying the wintery bare trees and branches. They are lovely in their simple form. Try sketching a tree or branch in your journal. Soon these wooded sculptures will be covered in green.
Cool rain clears the air
Like sleep clears the brain, bathing
Cool droplets of hope.
Art Prescription: Rain rinses away dust and dirt. Sleep helps unfurl indecision. Never make a decision until you have slept on it. This is a good “old wives tell.” Get some rest…and then move forward!
Bold purple vinca
Sturdy red green stems reach up
Towards morning sunrise.
Art Prescription: Ever notice how plants and trees are always reaching towards the sun? They grow despite wind and rain, and right on time they know their season has come. Seems simple doesn’t it?
Red, green, yellow, red
Traffic light keeps perfect time
Stop, go, pause, be, breathe.
Art Prescription: How often do you sigh? That is the body taking a natural deep breath. Current and historical practitioners relate the breath to wellness. Next time you are at a red-light, instead of feeling impatient, take a long-deep-belly-breath and be well my friend.
Birds sing with their soul
They know this is not a dress
Rehearsal, it’s real.
Art Prescription: It’s your season for doing….are you doing?
February cold
Makes cuddling with lovers, warm
Unforgettable.
Art Prescription: Use the final blast of winter to cuddle with the ones you love.
Cold thunderous wind
Whips corners, bends trees, cuts sharp
Winter’s not over.
Art Prescription: Accept winds of change. Just when you thought spring was taking over a cold front moved in. Reach for your coat, hat, and mittens with a grin.
Pregnant buds on trees
Flowers will light the forest
Intoxicate bees.
Art Prescription: It really is more about the process than the outcome. We need to be willing to take a chance and have the process be the change. Movement forward..
