Summer Dreaming June 19, 2014

Bougainvillea

A long walk on the hot sand

Sea glimmers turquoise.

Art Prescription:  I’m off from my nursing job, and dreaming of vacation. Long beach walks, sea gulls laughing, salty breeze, palm trees rattling in the wind, and sunsets over the sea.

Kittens June18, 2014

Bounce, jump, side-ways, purr

Run full speed for ten minutes

Then collapse asleep.

Art Prescription:  Went to draw with a friend of mine who is hand-bottle feeding orphaned cats. Hard to draw a thing in constant motion…till it sleeps. Art journal page…Deep bow to my friend!!

Glamour June 17, 2014

Diamonds and pearls

Everyday glamorous

Audrey Hepburn chic.

Art Prescription:  As I sit here all moist with perspiration (aka sweat), in my summer shorts and tees, I wonder did these glamour queens always look this fresh? Did they wear diamonds and pearls to the movies and eat buttered popcorn with their bare hands? Surely they held their pinky finger just so while sipping tea. I’ll be right back….I’m boiling some fresh corn on the cob!!

Squirrel Proof June 16, 2014

Feed the birds, funny!

My stealth-like acrobatics

Houdini rodent.

Art Prescription:  Steamer of a day. While out watering my plants I watched the antics of my local squirrel friend. These “tree-rats” are clever, and anyone who has purchased a squirrel proof feeder knows they pretty much wasted their money. So, I just feed everyone.

Tall, lush, green-blue grass

Ultra calm scene, horses graze

They own the meadow!

Art Prescription:  Lovely morning at farm! Rode Lacey and got to hang out and do some ground work. Once done, the horses got to go out and graze in the tall grass. Yep! Makes them happy. Watercolor pencil sketch on index card.
