Vacation photo

Not mine, but someone else’s

I go there with paint.

Art Prescription: A friend of mine recently vacationed in Greece. Oh what a glorious time she had. Vacation envy, lol!

Here I’ve done a quick watercolor and pen and ink sketch. Love to do a more detailed painting.

Here’s a mixed-media idea for an art journal background.

An unfocused day

The horses moved way too fast

My head is scattered.

Art Prescription: So horses respond to energy!

She has big brown eyes

Spends her time grazing on grass

Is happy with life.

Art Prescription: In these turbulent times can we learn from our animal companions?

They do seem to live in the moment.

I think this sweet cow is done.

Acrylic on canvas. Will list in my Etsy shop.

Warm sun on my back

My hips sway in the saddle

Keep time with my horse.

Art Prescription: Nothing like a relaxing ride on a fall day!

Watercolor sketch:

Yellow goldenrods

Migrating birds and two snakes

Make for a fall walk.

Postcard with watercolor:

On the verge, leaving

Summer has a last hurrah

And launches to fall.

Art Prescription: At least we hope! Another ninety-degree day, but a cold front is supposed to move in tonight.

On record for hot

This October, a fall day

Begging us to look.

Art Prescription: Are we paying enough attention? Doing what we can locally, recycling, composting, turning water off while we brush our teeth. So overwhelming.

Mini-collage on a 4 x 6 canvas.

Here I honor nature and the life that prevails in their world.

How’s your perspective?

Do you value each life breath

To find JOY each day?

Art Prescription: So what do you guys think about positivity? Can positive thinking, meditation, and exercise change our mood and outlook?

I think so. Art Journal:
