Special arrival

“Bass” landed in first class crate

Happy to deplane.

Art Prescription:  I went in my good ole van today with a friend to pick up her sister’s dog at the airport. The family is moving from California to North Carolina and the pup came first. So rewarding to see him tail-wagging to greet us. 

We got home and took a walk with Biscuit, his new roomie. 

Watercolor sketch:

Knowing what you need

Asking for what you want, and

Being true to self.

Art Prescription:  so my journal is my psychiatrist…where I vent with color and strokes. Pure catharsis!

In the stillness

A moment in the garden

Cool August weather.

Art Prescription: art journal collage.

A streak of gold lands

End of the season seed heads

Of pink cone-flower.

Art Prescription:  I love to hear the high pitched chirps of Goldfinches. This time of year they are bright canary yellow with a striking black head and tail. They enjoy feeding on the seeds of echinacea, pink cone-flower.

Watercolor sketch:

Along the woods edge

Timid pair of white-tailed deer

Venture out to graze.

Art Prescription:  Sheer beauty…watercolor:

Along the river

Lies a sandy path for miles

Water babbles through.

Art Prescription:  We took a day trip close to home to Saxapahaw, a historic river mill village. Now the brick buildings host small thriving shops and river loft condos. We meandered behind the buildings and found a wonderful trail. Turns out this trail runs 70 miles. So many treasures to discover right here st home.

Art journal with collage and watercolor:

Hummers flutter by

Not sure if my pink robe is

Friend or sweet nectar.

Art Prescription:  For several moments a hummingbird fluttered a foot away from me. She was not sure if I was friend or foe.

And Blackie the stray feral cat let me pet his head.

Love is…really.
