Down the hill they go
Skateboards! choreographed speed
Practice makes perfect.
Art Prescription: Two teen boys in my neighborhood have been practicing for a couple of days now going down and around on a hilly path. Muddy from crashing, they giggle and try again. Just two boys and their wheels…no thought of the past or the future…just the now.
Hard steady fall rain
Forgot your umbrella, well
Find a puddle, jump!
Art Prescription: Why do some folks complain about the rain? As kids we found things joyful no matter what. When was the last time you jumped into a big rain puddle!! ?? Go ahead, you have my permission…
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Hello visions, dreams
“Sew” a seed and watch it grow!
Infinity, joy.
Art Prescription: The Art Prescription is moving and shaking, and growing!! Watercolor, stamps, collage, and yarn!
Lantana, fuel up
Monarchs begin their south bound
Journey, Mexico.
Art Prescription: It’s heartening to see monarchs!! Perhaps the conservation
efforts to help them on their journey to Mexico is paying off. Several friends are seeing them in their gardens too!! Pen and ink and colored pencil on an envelope, with a few stamps!! Fun…
Peace and happiness
Paint color one three eight O
And time to collage.
Art Prescription: It’s really about the simple things.
I’ve got your back friend
Those hard, rough places in life
I’ll be by your side.
Art Prescription: Many lessons learned on the farm. Watercolor pencil and pen and ink sketch.
The veins of a leaf
Transport sugar and water
Branches, pathways, life.
Art Prescription: The veins of leaves and branches on trees mimic our vascular and nervous system. Gives you something to think about. Colored pencil, pen and ink, and collage on an A2 envelope.
Sunday, day of rest
A treat to get quiet, nap
Cat acupuncture!
Art Prescription: I’m not much of a napper, can never fall asleep during the day. I do relish laying down though and resting my body. With three cats, someone is always going to join me. Mocha, my tabby, will make biscuits for 30 minutes straight. Got a session of cat acupuncture and then up I went to the studio to play. 8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
A place for ice-cream
Rolling country where cows graze
Big, tall, grain silos.
Art Prescription: Took my blanket, binoculars, and sketchbook out to the country today. Plopped myself on a hill over-looking a dairy farm. Meanwhile people wandered into the store for fresh and local ice-cream cones.
