Cut paper flowers

Like paper dolls from childhood

Paper, scissors, glue.

Art Prescription: so during the panthers and saints game which I’m totally not watching, I played with some cut outs and collage. Reminded me of paper dolls from my childhood.

Individual

Not one is like the other

The power of we.

Art Prescription: Stand up for your beliefs. You are not alone, there is power in WE.

Summer dream, snow day

Nature wears her best white frock

To the winter ball.

Art Prescription: watercolor on photo paper.

UNC mascot

Lives at a farm with cute goats

Comes out for football.

Art Prescription: Probably my most requested commission. Ramses. He is the mascot for the University of North Carolina, and he’s pretty personable. His horns get painted Carolina Blue and his fans adore him.

Work in Progress on this cold winters eve:

She slinks in at night

Finds the food I’ve left for her

Now that trap is gone.

Art Prescription: The stray cat saga continues as the mother cat is too smart to be trapped. It’s so cold here now, low tonight 15. I don’t have the heart to try and trap her. She is using the heated cat house I put out.

What matters the most

New year, new goals, happiness

How do you get there?

Art Prescription: Seems happiness psychology is popular. How fortunate we get to choose. I’m eternally grateful for my life path. Tons of hard work, years of working nights and going to school. Happy New Year to all! My wish for you is to find happiness in simple pleasures.

Watercolor sketch:

The year slips away

Turning over a new leaf

Waiting buds on trees.

Art Prescription: I started taking down holiday decor. Mixed emotions…2017 comes to a close. And super exciting! New year!

Final days of year

Sunsets cast a pink, peach glow

A big finale.

Art Prescription: Winter sunsets have a special glow.

Watercolor:

What you make of it

Rise to the occasion

Just make it your own.

Art Prescription: Some people wait their whole life for someone or something to “make” them happy. But they never rise to the occasion for themselves. Life is full of hurdles, and this is where we have to rise, jump, shine, make the most of it, make it ours! It comes from inside… our soul? Self-worth.
