In a rush to bloom
Flowers wait all winter long
For a few sweet days.
Art Prescription: Sound familiar? We rush to be 16, and then we rush to be 21, and we rush to get through school and “start” our life. Don’t know about you…but these days I want to savor the moment.
Silent on a branch
Big brown eyes full of wisdom
Fine feathered owl.
Art Prescription: Today would have been my grandmother, Annie Jones’ birthday. Spending time with this owl was like a gift…guardian owl! Sketch in journal.
Sun shimmers on lake
Bright April sunshine, new growth
Blue phlox, violets!!
Art Prescription: Did these 3 x 5 index cards at NC Botanical Garden and left them for someone to find!
The lamb must be lost
Tiny wild blue hyacinths
Charm the lion’s roar.
Art Prescription: Hiked Merritt’s Pasteur today, a walk along a river that loops up and over a meadow. Saw lots of wildflowers and goldfinches. Still wearing my winter coat and gloves! The wind bites.
The bar is open
Black sunflower seeds for all
Line starts in the trees!
Art Prescription: Saturday morning…time to sit with coffee and watch the birds. And do a little sketching.
Good morning purple
Early light, lavender haze
Luminous new day.
Art Prescription: I’m rarely excited about setting my alarm clock for before the sun is up. But duty calls and oh the sunrise was glorious!!
Mirage, illusion
Who is there in the mirror?
Is that you? Myself?
Art Prescription: Do you ever time travel? Art journal…it’s a messy one…just where I am.
Expect clouds, get rain
How you spend your day, your life
Adds up, the raw truth.
Art Prescription: Science is learning about our brain’s ability to adapt and rewire. This phenomenon, known as neuroplasticity, suggests there are concrete and provable benefits to exercising the brain. Doing art exercises the brain. Positive thinking exercises the brain.
“How you spend your days, is how you spend your life.” Think about it!!
Rain, cold, move in now
Scurry, shoulders hunched over
Umbrellas salute.
Art Prescription: One more bout of Old Man Winter…
Stretch, yawn, and repeat
Wake up slow, no alarm clock
Saturday morning.
Art Prescription: While for the most part I like being up early, makes the day longer, it is on occasion totally blissful to sleep-in.
