My mission since starting this blog has always been to deliver a dose of art and haiku.

I feel art and creativity will get lots of families through these trying times.

Today I made three new mini-art journals and listed them in my Etsy shop.

I hope they might be a place to record thoughts and feelings about our times.

Dogwood State Flower

Sparkles with white blooms in woods

Nature moves onward.

Art Prescription: so no matter how scary the news gets… a walk in the woods reassures you that life is moving forward.

I’m not downplaying our current threats.

I am seeking peace in the natural world.

Be well!

Dogwood pen and ink and watercolor pencil:

She came off trailer

To find herself in grass field

And she was happy.

Art Prescription: Horses live in the moment. Katie the Palomino arrived at Blue Skies today. After a couple of hour ride, she hopped off the trailer and settled quickly.

Beautiful day watching nature’s Devine system.

Hi all,

I really want to bring you something positive in your feed. I know we are all feeling a similar anxiety.

I do find, as always, solace in my studio!

Played with palette knife painting today:

Empty parking lots

Families pull together

It’s a new normal.

Art Prescription:

Mixed media on an index card:

Wing and a prayer

Hope is the thing with feathers

Fly high dear sweet souls

Art Prescription: spent a good couple of hours with my sketchbook and binoculars.

Graphite:

Seems this comforts me and each petal is laid with intention.
