Ephemera hunt
Inspiration in a bag
Bits, paper, pieces.
Art Prescription: So, what if you got a bag of goodies to do collage with? A bag of random ephemera to take and do as you please! Art journaling, art collage, expressive therapy!
Shimmering Forest July 6, 2014
A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.
Art Prescription: Celebrating Independence Day weekend by hiking at Mason Farm Nature Preserve. Can’t think of anything more freeing than to roam around on open land watching nature and all her beauties.
Patience July 5, 2014
Patience builds in us
A humble gentle spirit
Warm breath of a horse.
Art Prescription: Soft horse…
Freedom July 4, 2014
Safe, let freedom ring
Our land, towns, cities, country
Soldiers made it so.
Art Prescription: I want to honor the many warriors that have gone for years to defend and protect our country. I will be the first to admit I do not understand war. But I know I wake up day after day and feel safe, and that I think is a gift.
Express Yourself July 3, 2014
What? you are waiting
Paint a mood, express yourself
Dream a little dream!
Art Prescription: Just get your paints out and go ahead now. Don’t worry about a “finished painting.” Put some paint on a clean white sheet of paper and launch.
Real Rest July 2, 2014
Now I hear music
Away from the crowds, the stress
The violin, soft.
Art Prescription: I’ve been off from my RN job for a month and return tomorrow. It’s been lovely to focus on my art without distraction. Best I can figure, my work is not done there…
Help One Another July 1, 2014
Still, he laid in cool
I crouched towards him, this stray cat
Hand out, mean no harm.
Art Prescription: Blackie the stray cat is still around. He seems content to eat at my neighbors and rest under porches in the shade. He is still very timid. We are trying to see what we need to do to help him. He may actually be living the life of grandeur, free to roam, basking in the sun or shade, scratching real trees, chasing bugs…
Born to Soar June 30, 2014
You were born with wings
Jump and spread them wide to soar
Catch current of life.
Art Prescription: It is really all about the here and now. It takes mental homework to remind myself of this daily. Not to get caught up in the past or future. Might be time for some 3 x 5 notecards placed on my mirror.
Bull Frogs June 29, 2014
The pond at daybreak
Bull frogs play Marco Polo
Loudest croaker wins.
Art Prescription: Six a.m. dog walking for my neighbors has benefits. It’s nice and cool, the birds are waking up with song, and there’s a game going on at the pond. Here is Duffy after a hot late day walk.
Meadow on Horseback June 28, 2014
Steady, meadow edge
Clip, clop easy gait. Black crows
Iridescent sheen.
Art Prescription: Me, a horse, and a wildflower meadow. Slow ride in the country.
