Many sides of life

Content, aware, surprised, still

The world is now still.

Art Prescription: And during this stillness we can find beauty!

We hiked 2 1/2 hours this morning admiring all nature had to offer.

My “feral” cats are sticking pretty close to home.!

Here I did some loose sketching with a black watercolor pencil, then wet it with a brush pen.

Imagine the beach

The waves inhale and exhale

The earth is breathing

Art Prescription: We are grocery shopping for our neighbor who is 92. She’s very independent and spry as can be!

Yesterday she asked if I’d be interested in her shell collection.

YES!

I’m just starting to look through the jars of shells. I think I can smell the beach.

Can’t wait to look with closer eyes.

Hi you guys,

How are you managing this new world?

I hope you are finding some peace and well-being in your days.

I really enjoyed my color mixing yesterday and made a new hand-bound journal from my paintings.

Tree canopy bursts

A kaleidoscope of greens

The glory of spring.

Art Prescription: During my walk this morning I decided I would do a study of greens.

I laid out 3 yellows and 3 blues.

What fun!!

Something I want to do. Don’t know if I have the patience.

Dog barks, passing car

Cardinals chirp from tree tops

And now just footsteps.

Art Journal: On this page I used one of my First Day of Issue print offs in my collage.

I’ve listed several in my Etsy shop as downloads.

Find your place in sun

Bright rays warm and inviting

Solace in nature.

Art Prescription: Field sketching:

We carry in us

All we could possibly need

And more, we are brave.

Art Prescription: art journaling brings me peace.

With my extra time I have discovered a use for my US stamp first issue collection!!

I made a listing on Etsy for the first digital download.

Here is how I used my print:

Thread around a twig

Each second a new heart beat

Of a healing love.

Art Prescription: mixed media:

And still there is time

To take in nature’s beaury

To fill your spirit.

Art Prescription: I hope you all are safe and well. I’m so grateful to have lots of beautiful spots in walking distance.
