Real change takes real work
Life. Many distinct layers
Like an onion.
Art Prescription: Life has many layers, and this can be conveyed in an art journal. I started this page in my workshop today, and once in my studio it took a different route. An art journal can be a reflection of life.
Travel with a book
With your imagination
Or pack bags and go!
Art Prescription: Some people love to travel and others are home-bodies. A “vacation” is necessary for your mind, body, and spirit. How do you get away?
First cold frost last night
Green fella steals warmth from rocks
Hibernation time.
Art Prescription: While walking at Mason Farm today we saw two snakes. A pretty citron-green one and a black one. Since winter is sneaking in, I wasn’t expecting these slithering beauties. Guess like us they are seeking the last bit of warm sunshine!
Geese float in the sun
Soon to gather on shore and
Take flight in a V.
Art Prescription: As the sun heads down, the geese on the pond take in the last remaining rays. They wade around, seemingly not doing. Then as if choreographed, they move to line up on shore and take off forming the classic V shaped flight pattern. I’ve heard that geese stick together. If one goose goes down, the others go down until they know that the flock must go on. My work with horses is like that. The good of the herd is of up-most importance.
An overnight shift
When the State Fair comes to town
Brings winter with it.
Art Prescription: Here in North Carolina the State Fair comes rolling in about mid-October. Suddenly fair goers shift from shorts and tees to coats and hats. This year I’m missing out on fried, sugar-coated, Oreo s…dang!!
Who let the girls out?!?
Two mares gallop cross pasteur
And the boys go wild!
Art Prescription: Spent a grand day at the farm…grooming, admiring, riding, sketching…bliss!! Horses have interesting angles and I’m finding them a challenging and phenomenal subject. Observing them is Zen.
The herd sees you now
They ask with their bodies, who?
You answer with chi.
Art Prescription: Learn from watching.
Bright geraniums
Still a-bloom in October
Garden in the south.
Art Prescription: My potted geraniums are still blooming. First frost has not come and they are still exuberant with color.
The cycle of life
Be open to a new way
Breath, shift, move forward.
Art Prescription: One constant in life is that everything changes.
Canary yellow
High-pitched, sweet-song, melody
Likes thistle, Goldfinch!
Art Prescription: Taught Art Journaling workshop for parent/child today. The raw honesty of children brings a smile to my face. Fascinating, really, the power of art! Another Vision Board for me! Seems birds are showing up a lot these days…
