Yellow Pine Warbler
Sings in tree tops, evasive
Suddenly appears!
Art Prescription: I’ve been trying to see a Pine Warbler for a while now with my binoculars. “Hunting” the woods, listening for their song, and scanning the tree-tops for a view. Then today there they were, a pair, right in full view. And yes they are cute as can be.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Musical note sounds
Children practice their octaves
Harmonic series.
Art Prescription: Long day at work with surgeries in the morning and CPR this afternoon. Even after many years as a nurse, I suppose it’s good to practice a skill that truly saves lives. Pray I never need to use them.
As I walked to get a breath of fresh air, I heard music coming from my neighbors house. They have four lovely children and I hear piano and trombone.
Index card with colored pencil and collage:
Days come and they go
Moments come and they pass by
Don’t wish away now.
Four jet-black crows glide
Feathers dark as coal glimmer
A murderous bunch.
Art Prescription: Nature can be gruesome. It’s survival of the fittest. Did you know a group of crows is called a “murder of crows.” What can we learn from the hunters and the hunted? Beauty and the beast…
Index card with graphite and colored pencil:
As robins chuckle
Quaker Ladies rise from moss
Spring! Now in session.
Art Prescription: Great day for field sketching.
Art Journal:
Cold acquiesces
Begins to unfurl, let go
Of its heavy touch.
Art Prescription: One day at a time we ask for grace in the form of spring.
8 x 8 finger painting
A handful of mane
Legs tightly wrap around your
Sweet and fuzzy back.
Art Prescription: Perfect day for a bareback ride.
8 x 8 watercolor finger painting:
Walking Mason Farm
Hunting for dreams, quiet, birds
These woods, I belong.
Art Prescription: Each week spring is getting more restless to make herself known.
8 x 8 collage with recycled mail:
Sometimes no means yes
Especially with your art
Don’t stop believing.
Art Prescription: If we didn’t believe in fairies, a fairy would fall dead every second! Believe in yourself! Believe in your art! No one can do it like you…so bring it on!
Watercolor 8 1/2 x 11
Like our hopes and dreams
The root of all success starts
With your soul’s blossom.
Art Prescription: Being true to one’s self is an art. And it takes practice. Quiet moments tuning in to a deeper rhythm that sings your soul’s song.
Pen and ink out of my adult coloring kit.
