Through open windows
Comes fall and winds of new path
Trees let go with ease.
Art Prescription: Are you wresting with letting go of something? Nature’s lesson this season is to let go and rest with full courage that new growth is next. Collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil on an envelope. I thought about using pieces of the envelope in a collage, and then I thought why not just do art on the envelope!!
Looking for dharma
I sit quiet, lotus pose
Breathe in peace, shanti.
Art Prescription: Pen and ink sketch…
Freshly mowed meadow
Scent of dried grass, blue birds dip
Catch insects mid-flight.
Art Prescription: Sunday hike at Merritt’s Pasture. The field was freshly mowed, except they left islands of milk-weed for the monarch butterflies. Saw cardinals, titmice, chickadees, blue-birds, and a juvenile hawk. Watercolor sketch with pen and ink.
Dark and cool outside
First light, daybreak, the world turns
Sweet birds morning song.
Art Prescription: There are a few things worth getting up in the dark for…
Young fledge, cardinal
Peep, peep, peep, peep, persistent
Momma demonstrates.
Art Prescription: Adults are still bringing their off-spring to eat on my deck. The fledglings do their best to continue the easy route. Momma feed me. The parents show them how to peck, scratch, and eat.
Trees, symbols of life
Change gracefully through seasons
Steady giant friends.
Art Prescription: I love to paint trees! This one is 7 feet tall and will go to UNC Hospitals for patients and families to add leaves.
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
Place where time stands still
Gentle wind rolls across field
Horses graze on grass.
Art Prescription: Took my sketchbook and big old sun hat out to Blue Skies today. Took a chair and sat in the paddock, being part of the herd. So hot. They were fine to just let me be there. We know you and you are okay to hang-out with us. They stood lazy, swishing their tails against the flies, sun on their strong backs.
September road tour
Bus leaves summer, next stop fall
Bags packed with color.
Art Prescription: Is the bus going to leave without you? Kicking and screaming…summer’s not over!!! I love the change of season. Another miniature piece. Artist trading card size.
Soft fur, round brown eyes
Hibernates in the winter
Fiercely protective.
Art Prescription: As the season steadily changes, so do I. The days are getting shorter. I look forward to cozy socks and fires.
