White moon, pale blue sky
Trees still, early morning dew
The night-shift heads home.
Art Prescription: Seeing the sun rise and the moon set is a treat!

Art Prescription August 20, 2013 Flowers Wane
Quiet except crunch
Of early fallen brown leaves
Flowers start to wane.
Art Prescription: I’m noticing now on my walks there are scattered fallen leaves on the path…fall starts her subtle nuance.
Art Prescription August 15, 2013 Chickadee
Chickadee morning
Cheerful chirpers bid good day
Hop from branch to branch.
Art Prescription: It’s the small things that count…good morning winged creatures!
Art Prescription August 14, 2013 Inspiration
Inspirational
Art done on an index card
Meant to share with love.
Art Prescription: Among the field of miniature art, there are Artist Trading Cards and Index Card Art. I’ve done a few Index Card pieces with the idea to share with others. Slip a little art into your partner’s lunch, or your kid’s…surprise a co-worker with some art for her desk, stick a little inspiration in the card to your mom…Everyone needs a little inspiration!

Nature mandala
A meditation on blooms
Daisy and cosmos!
Art Prescription: I saw this idea on http://girlunwinding.wordpress.com/2013/08/12/mandala-monday-stacks/ and couldn’t wait to try it! Such a beautiful way to make mandala art. Thank you girl unwinding!
Haiku August 11, 2013 Layers
Layers make a whole
Patience wins over hurry
Take your time, indulge.
Art Prescription: I’m as guilty as the next for trying to hurry-up and get to the next task…and in the mean-time, text a friend, look at Facebook, and check e-mail. We are such a culture of multitasking that it’s no wonder Attention Deficit Disorder is rampant. This afternoon I painted in my garden. For several hours I did nothing but take brush to paint to canvas. Sublime! This has some layers to go…
Haiku August 10, 2013 Crepe Myrtle
Crepe Myrtle stretches
Branches heavy with dense blooms
August ornaments!
Art Prescription: Have you ever looked really close at Crepe Myrtle blooms? They are delicate and complex…I should do a 10 x!!
Haiku August 9, 2013 Perseverance
Perseverance pays
You just go ahead and bloom
Cause you were meant to!!!
Art Prescription: I couldn’t pass up the chance to share my side-walk vinca with you. There are so many subtitles for this image…
Haiku August 8, 2013 Desk Art
A desk pick-me-up
Miniature office art
Little reminder.
Art Prescription: I don’t have a “desk” at work, as I move from room to room. I do notice that there are regularly posted comics or inspirational quotes around those who do have a designated space. So I did a little index card art in honor of “desk art.” We all work hard…doesn’t hurt to have joyful reminders in our spaces!! Breathe!
Haiku August 7, 2013 Healing Bath
Hot Vetiver bath
Nurtures skin, supports courage
Anchors the spirit.
Art Prescription: Another fully lived day painting in my garden. This time I set about to paint Cosmos and painted Cosmos. And a hot herb bath will ready me for my nursing job tomorrow…mind, body, and spirit!
