Barn Cat October 2, 2013

Curled in saw-dust pile

The barn cat nests in horse stall

Morning nap on farm!

Art Prescription:  All the senses are awake at the farm. So much beauty to take in. Today I was particularly fond of seeing the barn cat rule. So at ease, so gentle, so, well, safe. I am working on ease…

Loss and Love October 1, 2013

Grief, like the ocean

Ripples or waves, knocks you down

River, salty tears.

Art Prescription:  A sad day for me as a good feline friend left this world to another. She was a delight and my heart is a little broken. I pray for healing and recovery for her family.

Watercolor Wings September 30, 2013

A soothing series

Flitter, flutter, butterflies

Collection of wings!

Art Prescription:  Taking a subject and doing multiples is skill building. You find out what works and what doesn’t, you can play with color, size, and composition.  I’m doing these for a note card design for UNC Hospitals. Which one do you like?

Rest, restful September 29, 2013

Quiet time, Sunday

Sleep in a bit, wake up, stretch

Rest your weary soul.

Art Prescription:  In a do, do, do society, have we forgotten how to rest? Rest our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. How do you renew? How do you tune-out the world in order to tune in to your core?

Changeling September 28, 2013

BE the change you want

Focus, awaken, believe

What does YES look like?

Art Prescription:  To me YES looks like a butterfly flying gracefully over the sweet nectar that is life. And landing on a few flowers here and there to refuel. But always it’s about the sweet spot.

Finger Painting September 27, 2013

Open door weather

My studio, my escape

Breeze sweeps my brushes.

Art Prescription:  And then don’t know what got into me, but I started finger painting. Squirting paint directly onto paper and spreading it with my fingers. It’s good to get your hands into a little paint now and then.

Galloping Horses September 25, 2013

A herd of horses

Come thundering across field

Majestic beauties!

Art Prescription:  Watching Deborah Pearson-Moyers (http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us/aboutus.htm) call her herd of horses and see them galloping across the field for breakfast is simply a moment of pure magic! They were not visible out in the pasture, but her voice had them come over the ridge of the field in one big thundering group. She said, “Listen to that!” Yep she loves it! Me too!
