Slender green fellow

Slithers past the green and golds

S shaped messenger.

Art Prescription:  Snake medicine is powerful. It is the energy of wholeness, and the ability to experience anything willingly and without resistance. “Without resistance!!!” No!

Letting go of that which no longer serves us is a very tough life lesson. Change is super hard!

What makes you feel light as a feather? What weighs you down?

Like snake, life is about gliding through the grass as if floating on air.

True Grit April 27, 2016

Tenacity, grit

Gets us through life’s challenges

And beauty awaits.

Art Prescription:  My chop says “hope.” As a couple of my friends are being challenged by life’s natural cycles of give and take…I want to remind them that life is beautiful.

Wreaths April 26, 2016

Fresh wildflower wreaths

With pansies, bluets, roses

Bountiful circle.

Art Prescription: Anything in a circle is so pleasing. I think it taps into something deep and symmetrical in our DNA. It’s fun to make a real nature mandala. These are made with models from my garden and watercolor.
