Instinct May 17, 2017

Pure instinct, the flight

The wave of wing to his mate

And the nest begins.

Art Prescription:  My chickadee batch fledged. And now a pair of blue birds are claiming the box. I adore seeing them messaging each other with subtle wing waves.

One Bloom May 10, 2017

Pure simplicity

To practice one thing over

Until it feels right.

Art Prescription:  I shy from doing things twice. Gemini…might get bored. But I do find great benefit from doing a series. I learn from each brush stroke.

Fresh Laundry May 9, 2017

Dried by sun and breeze

Clothes and towels hang on line

Load of fresh laundry.

Art Prescription:  My grandmother’s towels smelled like fresh air and sunshine. I can see her right now with an apron on, clothespins in the pocket, reaching up to the clothesline to hang a fresh load of laundry.

Here is a many, many, layers final piece:
