Sit, listen, and wait

Be where you are, still, alone

The music will come.

Art Prescription:  Most religions refer to stillness in the form of prayer or meditation. Deeply spiritual beings seem to truly practice this…the most of us are blundering our way towards the music. Listening!! And I did spend some wonderful moments on my horse’s bare back today. Connection!

Index card with colored pencil:

All the world’s a stage

Theater for creation

The script? made with time.

Art Prescription:  Who are you?

Index card with pen and ink:

Bits of green and brown

Pop up from under the snow

Spring’s reassurance.

Art Prescription:  Oh yes we need a little sunshine…need a little horse time…need a little spring-time…You know the tune…

Watercolor and pen and ink:

Crocus in a pot

Indoor blooms while gardens rest

Color in kitchen.

Stretched across the room

My grandmother’s quilt rack, work

In progress by stitch.

Art Prescription:  I remember going to my grandmother’s and there being a huge quilt in progress taking up the whole living area. She and her sister worked on this by hand, stitch by stitch. I’m the lucky owner of some of these heirloom quilts. They are works of art.

Watercolor and stitching 8 1/2 x 11

Crunch under my boot

Long snow hikes in the mild woods

Creek weaves back and forth.

Art Prescription:  We have enjoyed the snow and our long hikes.

Watercolor:

Soft, delicate snow

Made a light landing on ice

Sled marks on the street.

Art Prescription:  Day two of wintry mix. Slept late, walked twice, and did a painting meditation on color.

Sleet taps on window

A steady downpour, frozen

Precipitation!

Art Prescription:  Hours of sleet…
