Bees buzz around Balm
Showy patch side studio
Hummingbirds zip by!
Art Prescription: Today instead of a painting, thought I’d share the view around my studio. I can look out my windows and see closeups of bees and hummers feeding from tall, red Bee Balm.
Comfort zone, structure
Rules to live by, rituals.
One step out, now LIVE!
Art Prescription: I’m guilty of being ritualistic, creature of habit. Worse with age, oh dear!! BUT, the thing I love most about watercolor is it’s ability to not be controlled. The medium itself, allows me to smear, splatter, wash, blend, and just watch the magic of what happens on the page. Art journaling is the perfect place to step outside your comfort zone!!
In just one second
Life can change, a new pathway
New growth and new skills!
Art Prescription: Life is an ongoing learning curve where we learn to adjust our sails!! You are stronger than you think you are!!
Cozy studio
Steady rain pelts roof, trees sway
A moment…deep sigh.
Art Prescription: Watching the rain fall, while I’m cozy and dry inside my studio is very peaceful. It’s the place where my dreams get to play!
Recycled papers
Cut out like paper-dolls, make
A junk mail garden!
Art Prescription: Here’s a mate for my last “junk mail garden” piece. A fun way to recycle, cut your junk mail up into shapes and paste onto a surface. I’m using watercolor here. Paint and highlight your cut flowers, and draw some stems and leaves, and now you have a garden.
Hello Cosmo bloom
First to bust out, clouds grace sky
Pink Impatiens too!
Art Prescription: Lots of rain, lots of blooms.
Calm after the storm
Sticks and branches litter street
All connections down.
Art Prescription: Quiet after last evenings storm. No television, and no internet…kind-of nice.
Many hats we wear
Many faces we put on
Many moods we feel.
Art Prescription: Human beings are complex! Can you just be you despite is all! Authentic!
Creatures of the creek
A buzz with activity
Water rolls, rushes.
Art Prescription: “Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” –Rumi
Redeeming factor
Occurs daily, harmonic
Serendipity!
Art Prescription: Sometimes you meet the right people at the right time and the right place!! Serendipity!!
