It’s simple pleasures
That make a day whole, happy
New caterpillars.
Art Prescription: went today to pick up some Black Swallowtail caterpillars. Got 5. They are all about ready to pupate. So very interesting to watch.
Index card, staple, collage w graphite:
Calling all lost souls
Come on home where there is peace
Food, water, and love.
Art Prescription: This Mandala meditation goes out to Skittles, a neighbor’s cat who is lost.
Come on home Skittles, your family misses you.
Nature Mandala:
To take a journey
Whether in your mind or real
Gives you an escape.
Art Prescription: Summer is the time for most families to escape to the beach. A change of scenery and a mix up of daily life does the spirit good.
Art Journal:
Each day a brand new
Chance to run wild for your life
The stars pull your hair.
Art Prescription: graphite sketch and watercolor:
So plant in the sun
Reap the rewards of good soil
And grow what is good.
Art Prescription: Harvested lots of fresh basil today. Made basil ice cubes to pull out one cold January night.
Put some sunny flowers in my vessels:
Acrylic over watercolor:
Half-full, half-empty
These vessels we carry through
How we live each day.
Art Prescription: How we live each day builds into how we live our lives. I’m doing a lot of thinking these days about how what we think about comes to us.
I’m trying to incorporate more positive thinking into my days.
What do you do?
A burst of color
Zinnias cut for posey
Serenity now.
Art Prescription: one of the hardest principles in life is to be non-judge mental and allow others to live their life. Yes, we think we know what’s best and how they should change. Problem is we spend all that energy on things we cannot change. Serenity now.
Pen and ink sketch with watercolor:
And just when the sun
Broke through the rainy-day clouds
Did the Canna bloom.
Art Prescription: pen and ink and watercolor:
Rain, thunder, and rain
Dramatic skies, clouds billow
Electricity.
Art Prescription: And Horses like to run in the wind!
Lines and angles of
Love in the shape of a cat
Who joins you in bed?
Art Prescription: These quick gestural marks capture a 2 second feel for my subject. The art of observation is fun. To watch a cat move and take a bath is worthy of a ballet.
