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!
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…
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!!
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…
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!
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!
Artful plate arrives
Basil, limes, jalapenos
Vietnamese lunch!
Art Prescription: We went with good friends today to an authentic Vietnamese restaurant. Experiential, really, proving that you don’t have to travel far to find food prepared with deep cultural roots. Each plate they brought to the table was a work of art! Here is my sketch…
Through the flower vase
The sun settles low. Night-time
Slinks in with the moon.
Art Prescription: Significant week in many ways…ready for night-time to slink in! A quick semi-abstract watercolor floral…art therapy for me!
Plethora of wings
Swallowtails glide, touch down on
Flora lush from rain.
Art Prescription: Have you noticed all the butterflies? There seems to be more than usual…all the rain? They are so delicate.
