In field of plenty
Grateful for the chance to bloom
Flowers beam with pride.
Art Prescription: As always when I have a chance to share watercolor, personalities blossom. It’s a bit of a hard task I ask…to let go…let the paint do the work…stay in the now. I so enjoy where each individual takes this.
Here is my first wash:
And here are the flowers that bloomed:
The river rushed by
Gurgling with white water
Around the dark rocks.
Art Prescription: Today we took a drive to a small town near home called Bynum. It’s a historic mill town beside the Haw River. We walked along the old Bynum Bridge which is now just for walking and admired some songbirds. Then we hiked along the river listening to the water.
Index card with watercolor:
Fuchsia, melon
Cotton candy and berry
And then there is rose.
Art Prescription: I’ve always loved pink. I picked pink and red for my 10 year old bedroom. Some things are just part of your personality.
Art journal page:
Summertime escape
A cold ice cream adventure
A scoop or a cone.
Art Prescription: Quick sketch!
Two peas in a pod
They sat and watched the sun rise
And said, “I love you.”
Art Prescription: Relationships are precious.
Index card with colored pencil:
Memories like film
Flashes of sweet life again
How about the NOW!
Art Prescription: Just a little nudge to live each day in the now…
Staple collage on index card with colored pencil:
Nature sings with pride
The mockingbird swoops the cat
To protect her nest.
Art Prescription: Survival. All we need is love…
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor and pen
Heartleaf foamflower
Spikes of white frothy flowers
Feathery blossoms.
Art Prescription: The leaves of this plant are so beautiful.
Art journal watercolor sketch:
Turquoise, white, and red
Sat unused on the palette
A zinnia born.
Art Prescription: I finished two trees for UNC Hospitals today. Bittersweet…this work I do…honored. I had left over paint. So I headed to my studio, (I paint in my garage for these big pieces), and some zinnias bloomed.
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor, stamps, and acrylic:
All along the ground
Wildflowers mingled with grass
Sway in the saddle.
Art Prescription: Took a long trail ride today! Perfect weather and the scent of honeysuckle filled the air. Along the ground I saw purple-spring vetch, clover, and purple nettle.
