Ephemera hunt
Inspiration in a bag
Bits, paper, pieces.
Art Prescription: So, what if you got a bag of goodies to do collage with? A bag of random ephemera to take and do as you please! Art journaling, art collage, expressive therapy!

Shimmering Forest July 6, 2014
A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.
Art Prescription: Celebrating Independence Day weekend by hiking at Mason Farm Nature Preserve. Can’t think of anything more freeing than to roam around on open land watching nature and all her beauties.
Help One Another July 1, 2014
Still, he laid in cool
I crouched towards him, this stray cat
Hand out, mean no harm.
Art Prescription: Blackie the stray cat is still around. He seems content to eat at my neighbors and rest under porches in the shade. He is still very timid. We are trying to see what we need to do to help him. He may actually be living the life of grandeur, free to roam, basking in the sun or shade, scratching real trees, chasing bugs…
Born to Soar June 30, 2014
You were born with wings
Jump and spread them wide to soar
Catch current of life.
Art Prescription: It is really all about the here and now. It takes mental homework to remind myself of this daily. Not to get caught up in the past or future. Might be time for some 3 x 5 notecards placed on my mirror.
Meadow on Horseback June 28, 2014
Steady, meadow edge
Clip, clop easy gait. Black crows
Iridescent sheen.
Art Prescription: Me, a horse, and a wildflower meadow. Slow ride in the country.
Opossum June 27, 2014
Wake up pure silly
Neither asleep nor awake
A dream-like vision.
Plant and Rest June 26, 2014
A new magazine
The air conditioner churns
Cool air sweeps my cheeks.
Art Prescription: What a luxury! To pause in the middle of the day to rest and peruse my newest Stampington magazine. Inspiration page to page. And my garden abloom.
Summertime June 25, 2014
Sounds of the steel drums
Blast from a speaker on wheels
Time for ice-cream truck!
Art Prescription: Did you have an ice-cream truck come through your neighborhood in summer?
Greetings June 24, 2014
A simple greeting
A pure smile to a stranger
The act of “Hello.”
Art Prescription: One smile can change someone’s day.
Tools of the Trade June 23, 2014
An artist’s tool box
Brushes, palette knives, scissors
A finger painting!
Art Prescription: Art Prescription group today in my studio. Our project was to start a painting, and then paint over it, and over it again. The process of letting go what was there before. And then finally to cut that painting up into pieces and see what emerges…stories, tales.
