Puddle Jumping October 14, 2014

Hard steady fall rain

Forgot your umbrella, well

Find a puddle, jump!

Art Prescription:  Why do some folks complain about the rain? As kids we found things joyful no matter what. When was the last time you jumped into a big rain puddle!! ?? Go ahead, you have my permission…

Dairy Farm September 27, 2014

A place for ice-cream

Rolling country where cows graze

Big, tall, grain silos.

Art Prescription:  Took my blanket, binoculars, and sketchbook out to the country today. Plopped myself on a hill over-looking a dairy farm. Meanwhile people wandered into the store for fresh and local ice-cream cones.

Seconds tick on clock

I sway to the time, rocking

Black cat in my arms!

Art Prescription:  We have three cats!! Each one has a very distinct personality and my days are filled with cat antics. Matisse, my big furry black cat, I think he has some Siamese traits, likes being held. He melts into my arms and will lay wilted with love until, with protest, I set him down.

Capture pure essence

With a simple line, gesture

Sketch a piece of life.

Art Prescription:  I love drawing quick pen and ink sketches of my cats! Keep a sketchbook handy and try capturing some moments of your day…a piece of fruit, a pet, birds at feeder, just keep your hand moving across the page! You can capture a lot with a few lines!
