Down the hill they go
Skateboards! choreographed speed
Practice makes perfect.
Art Prescription: Two teen boys in my neighborhood have been practicing for a couple of days now going down and around on a hilly path. Muddy from crashing, they giggle and try again. Just two boys and their wheels…no thought of the past or the future…just the now.
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…
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Hello visions, dreams
“Sew” a seed and watch it grow!
Infinity, joy.
Art Prescription: The Art Prescription is moving and shaking, and growing!! Watercolor, stamps, collage, and yarn!
Quiet on the farm
Horses graze, content, focus
Ears perks, my presence.
Art Prescription: I love walking out into a herd of horses. I watch them notice me with curiosity. Their ears perk as their awareness shifts. Herd behavior has deep roots for these prey animals. To have them accept me and allow me to enter their space is an honor.
Steep rocky trail leads
To a meadow with a view
Rows of Great Smokies.
Art Prescription: Took a winding road in the Great Smokey Mountain Park. Hiked about 5 steep miles. Landed on Andrew’s Bald, a grassy meadow with a panoramic view of the Great Smokey Mountains. Did a pen and ink sketch.
Has your address changed?
Some wander, blown about, seeds
Others grow deep roots.
Art Prescription: It’s good to know where your heart is.
Peace and happiness
Paint color one three eight O
And time to collage.
Art Prescription: It’s really about the simple things.
The veins of a leaf
Transport sugar and water
Branches, pathways, life.
Art Prescription: The veins of leaves and branches on trees mimic our vascular and nervous system. Gives you something to think about. Colored pencil, pen and ink, and collage on an A2 envelope.
Sunday, day of rest
A treat to get quiet, nap
Cat acupuncture!
Art Prescription: I’m not much of a napper, can never fall asleep during the day. I do relish laying down though and resting my body. With three cats, someone is always going to join me. Mocha, my tabby, will make biscuits for 30 minutes straight. Got a session of cat acupuncture and then up I went to the studio to play. 8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
