I hope your new year is off to a new bloom!!

Pen and ink with watercolor in my journal!

Be well and happy dear friends!

It’s 7:00 and I’m home, in my Pj’s with a cat at my feet!

I have no intentions of leaving or staying up.

I wish you the happiest New Year!

I worked a journal page and the quote that jumped out at me is:

“Happiness,

Not in another place

But this place…

Not for another

Hour, but this hour.”

Walt Whitman

Blue shadows bright moon

Wintertime and alone time

For refueling soul.

Here’s my background I made last night with watercolor and salt:

Then here’s what came to me in the chaos:

Weather is a tease

Blue birds calling out to mates

December T-shirts.

Art Prescription: Temperatures in the upper sixties! Perfect weather to be outside.

North Carolina weather can be very fickle. We could have a snow-storm next week.

Doodle in my journal with watercolor:

Blackie, my “feral” cat, under lights:

So stark and peaceful

Bare winter trees reaching out

Just in the moment.

Art Prescription: So much talk today about living in the moment, just breathe, let go of the past.

What if we were trees?

Holiday house full

Cats and dogs, and dogs and cats

All they want is love.

Art Prescription: sketchbook with pen and ink.

Setting sail new year

Getting in touch with the course

And riding each wave.

Art Prescription: Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

Happy holidays to all others!

No matter your beliefs or religion, we all enter a new year with hopes and expectations.

My wish for each of you is to live your truths, be yourself, and realize what you have to give this world!

Do I want a dog!

Hello blog followers,

As we approach a new year, I’m wondering where I want to spend my time and energy.

Social media is complicated and I’m sure like me you struggle with how and who and when you want to follow.

It can be uplifting and inspirational.

I’m just wondering where the Art Prescription fits: Instagram or WordPress.

Any feedback you can give is great!

Change is good… let’s make the most of it!

Winter holidays

A rich time for gathering

Do you still believe?

Art Prescription: I do!! I believe in the magic of life.
