Pantone Color Mixing February 12, 2014

Shoes sink, snow powder

Fat flakes fall, branches heavy

White winter wonder.

Art Prescription:  Winter storm!!! Beautiful today, snow falling, building a blanket of white across everything. I’m working on a project with very specific Pantone colors. Mixing colors is a challenge and takes some understanding of warm and cool and saturation.

Planning February 10, 2014

Start here, end up there

Brain thinks, spirit takes over

Expressive painting!!

Art Prescription:  Sometimes the best thing is to take brush and paint to paper!! You may not be creating a work of art. You may be doing your body, mind, and spirit some good by just letting go. Expressive painting increases your immune system. Now go…and let.

Beech Trees February 8, 2014

Afraid to let go

Beech trees hold on to their leaves

Golden glow in winter.

Art Prescription:  Lovely day. Hiked about four miles and saw a Kinglet!! (future painting) Spent some time field sketching, then back to studio to add watercolor. This is a work in progress.

Love is February 3, 2014

Love is in the air

Along with hot and cold waves

Birds look for houses.

Art Prescription:  The weather goes up and down like a roller-coaster. Warm front…arctic blast. My layers of coats and jackets hang ready in the closet. Meanwhile, the birds seem to be right on track.
