On a busy day

A simple white posey vase

Will do a soul good.

Art Prescription: simple being…simply being… simple be ing

Insects sing summer

Clicks and buzzes in the fields

Grasshopper takes flight.

Art Prescription: It’s definitely bug season! Bees, ants, mosquitos, praying mantis, beetles, flys, “biting flies!,” hornets, cicadas, dragonflies, we like them, and name what you have in your neck of the woods.

Here is the tree I did earlier. I inked the leaves and tree.

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.
