Haiku March 21, 2013 Gentleness

Gentleness of spring

Warmth and care like summer breeze

Share it with people.

Art Prescription:  A day at my nursing job always reminds me of how much I have to be thankful for! Knowing there are many things I cannot change, my hope is to deliver a moment of kindness and warmth. What do you want to be remembered for? What brings you pride and serenity?

Haiku March 18, 2013 Embrace Love

Sleepy-eyed I fall

Into my lover’s embrace

Grey morning, warm hug.

Art Prescription:  On the edge of sleep when you haven’t fully connected with the busy world is a perfect time to embrace your loves. Spouses, partners, children, pets, spirit! Embrace connecting with them.

Romance in Grey

Haiku March 15, 2013 Sunshine

And always the sun

Bright light, fills house with warm glow

Still cold March morning.

Art Prescription:  I love the sun pouring through my windows in the morning.

This is a start of a new painting done with watercolor and salt. I love this effect, thought I’d share. Stay tuned for next step.

Sometimes if you can’t think of what to paint, try laying down your favorite colors (add plenty of pigment), allowing them to mix and run and blend. Sprinkle salt while still wet and wait for magic to happen as it dries.
