And just then she came

A big yellow butterfly

Continued journey.

Art Prescription: Where do souls go?

Watercolor with pen:

Annual fourth parade

A symbol of our freedom

Proud Americans.

Art Prescription: It’s an odd holiday to feel tears well-up. There are few expectations, no gifts to buy, and decorating is minimal.

And yet, our neighborhood parade always brings tears to my eyes. Maybe it’s patriotism, maybe it’s that most people don’t even know REALLY what we are celebrating, maybe it’s looking at the innocent children and wondering how long their lives will be free. Free to not worry about safety or their precious environment, or maybe it’s just HOT!!

Anyways, I’m grateful!

Deer is so gentle

A spirit that heals all wounds

Summer breeze, warm, love.

Art Prescription: While on my walk with Austen, we came upon a young buck. He seemed content to forage with us not far away.

His young antlers are fuzzy and velveteen.

So Miss Clairol says

Each day is a good hair day

Blond, brunette, redhead.

Art Prescription: Needing some highlights myself…

While I sit, garden

Crossed-legged with my pink socks

A hummer did come.

Art Prescription:

Mere earthly mortals

Hope is the eternal way

To walk on lightly.

Art Prescription: And so I did walk…

Watercolor with pen and ink and my chop:

A shaken snow globe

Pieces are stirred, then settle

Such is living life.

Art Prescription:

Hi y’all,

Thanks for the suggestions! I think this little project is done!

Since the dad is a Nebraska fan I went with F for football. Then I thought all boys like dinosaurs.

Here’s the finished piece, 6 x 6 canvas with acrylic:

Hi,

I’m working on this baby name:

And I’m stuck on “F.”

Are “feathers” to girly?

What about “D?”

Managed owl and opossum, and robin and raccoon.

How do you pick one?

A name for an entire life

Records of all sorts.

Art Prescription: what’s in a name?

Started this custom baby name…

Now to think of what goes on each letter…
