A world of beauty
Yet each sunflower is fine
And perfectly blooms.
Art Prescription: Why do we humans have such a hard time blooming…recognizing our beautiful parts and strengths and individual differences? Can we take a lesson from the garden where each bloom just reaches for the sun? Cause it’s a short journey this one livid life. So my friends go out there and bloom!!
Alcohol ink and pen:
She glides in the cool
Vast blue-green ocean, eggs laid
Her work on shore, done.
Art Prescription: Today I honor the Sea Turtle.
Sea turtles spend most of their lives in the water. Like salmon, they will return to the same nesting grounds at which they were born. When females come to the shore they dig out a nest in the ground with their back flippers, bury their clutch of eggs and return to the ocean. After hatching, the young may take as long as a week to dig themselves out of the nest. They emerge at night, move toward the ocean and remain there, solitary, until it is time to mate.
Alcohol ink, watercolor, and pen and ink:
Tangle of flowers
Deep in the field where sunlight
Plays on soft petals.
Art Prescription: What a fun time I had today playing with alcohol inks with my art group! Thank you Farley, who hosted and provided all the new and fun supplies to experiment with. We used photo paper, alcohol, and alcohol inks. For an hour or more there was not a sound except for a, “wow.” We dripped, sprayed, doodled, and watched as our works took on a life of their own. Not for the exact of heart! Alcohol inks are discovery at its best!! A great tool to have in your Art Prescription cabinet.
