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.

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.

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!!
