Fast furious swoop
A near miss, the dove chortles
Hungry red-eyed hawk.
Art Prescription: I was sitting outside when I heard a sudden ruffle of wings. A hawk swooped in after a morning dove in the trees. Lucky for the dove, the hawk went hungry. The yin and yang of nature.
Nature Collection
Winter can feel like
Time underwater, spring is
Coming up for air.
Art Prescription: Hard to go inside these days…I’ve got a pair of blue birds checking out the bird house right outside my studio window. How delightful if they take up residence and I can watch them raise a brood!
Watercolor on Yupo (first time on Yupo and I’m not sure what I’m doing)
Steam rises from cup
My morning is slow, leisure
French toast with my mate.
Art Prescription: Isn’t it lovely to have a slow morning? No rushing or appointments, running out the door with yogurt in hand. Time to sit with a cat or two in my lap, and watch the birds.
Little bit nippy, but I did head out to my studio to paint…
Acrylic over collage 6 x 6
Sixty-six degrees
Winter of discontent gone
For a hint of spring.
Art Prescription: Painting in my studio with the door wide open makes my soul fly high.
Mixed-media on paper:
Out of the purple
A field of wild irises
She ran with the wind.
Art Prescription: Sometimes you just have to go with it…
Watercolor:
Pot of fresh color
Lasting long past its season
December daisy.
Art Prescription: As odd as this warm December is, it’s nice to see flowers hanging around.
Index card with colored pencil:
Winter trees shimmer
Under light cast by street lamps
Asymmetrical.
Art Prescription: Evening walks this time of year quickly turn into night-time. I enjoy the sculpture quality of bare winter branches in the light of the street lamps.
8 x 8 acrylic
Seventy degrees
Shorts and tees in December
Santa needs sunscreen!!
Art Prescription: I’m not complaining as Finn and I had a lovely sunny walk (sort-of he is very interested in eating grass). However, “dashing through the snow” is highly unlikely this Christmas season.
Watercolor and pen and ink 8 x 10
While woods grow gray, cold
Summer lives on in my mind
Roses in full bloom.
Art Prescription: As the fall color is fading my imagination takes me back to summer.
8 x 8 watercolor, acrylic, and alcohol (ha!) ink
Rural hitchhiker
Relies on stranger goodness
For a ride to church.
Art Prescription: On the way home from feeding the horses, I came across a gentleman hitchhiking on highway 54. He was nicely dressed in a suit and my thought was that he was looking for a ride to church. Reminds me that despite of the news, there is complete and total goodness in people. If you pay more attention to the daily rituals of love and kindness that is the human species it will help you immensely.
