After summer rain
Air fresh, scent of moist, rich earth
Droplets on petals.
Art Prescription: Set out for my evening walk with thunder in the far background. Next thing I know the wind kicks up and big drops begin to fall. I arrived home soaked…and happy for my garden!
Honeysuckle till
The nectar out of blossoms
There we were, sipping.
Art Prescription: On a country road, by the tractors path…
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!
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 builds in us
A humble gentle spirit
Warm breath of a horse.
Art Prescription: Soft horse…
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.
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.
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…
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…
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.
