A storm comes in fast

Then leaves revealing clear skies

And we sigh relief.

Art Prescription: Each of us must weather a few storms. Which is why we must be super grateful for the clear skied days.

Fresh summer veggies

A red Thai curry combo

Stir-fried with white rice.

Art Prescription: yum!

Imperfect is good

A chance to be a human

Just seeking peaceful.

Art Prescription: On any given day where you can just be you, free from any expectations, can you exhale into imperfection?

I did not post last night because I did not like my work. Tore it up and repurposed it for this journal piece. I had stuff to work out. Art Rx!

Embrace your peace.

Art Journal:

Forgiveness is real

A smile like the sun rising

Meeting me half-way.

Art Prescription: What can you forgive? Let go? Move on to next chapter?

Life offers us many chances to be grateful for what we have.

All of nature strives

For balance and not chaos

Are we different?

Art Prescription: As I nurse momma cat post-spay, and tend to three kittens, I’m wondering about chaos theory. You know, the one that says all matter tends towards order.

Expressive art journal. Kind of messy, like life.

Zero eight hundred

Garages lift, cars back out

Enter the rat race.

Art Prescription: I picked up Elbee this morning after being spayed.

Maybe I was short on coffee, but the world seemed to be moving robotically.

Goodness…. there is little balance in this world.

Art Journal:

Safe in pile of fur

Black and white kittens curl-up

Heartbeat to heartbeat.

Art Prescription: my little “feral” kittens are doing well. I took their mother, Elbee, today to get spayed. Poor girl. I’ll pick her up tomorrow for TLC.

Heart-felt job taking care of these beings.

Under the shade tree

There is song, nests, and feathers

Music to my ears.

Art Prescription: Took Finn out for a lovely trail ride. A break in the heat, nice!

We ambled past shadowy paths in the woods, and sunny trails by big leafy corn-fields.

Other than trying to eat grass, he was a good boy. My steady steed.

A walk to garden

Cut aromatic basil

Smells of sun, summer.

Art Prescription: So the heat at 90 plus is oppressive. Oh summer…your rewards of fresh basil and tomatoes is paramount. There is so much mating going on, one can count the offspring daily!

Oh summer! Thank you.

Art Journal:

Stand on solid ground

Earth beneath you giving strength

Gray clouds break to blue.

Art Prescription: Working with horses grounds me. These gentle giants have senses beyond ours.

Here’s me and my boy Finn standing side by side. He grazes, while I lean into his firm, horsey smelling body. He leans back a little, turns his head forward so I can caress his mane. To have a 1200 lb creature engage in affection is paramount!
