Resolution time
The rain stops, blue skies appear
And just like that, change!
Art Prescription: It’s the time of year when people start taking stock of their lives, and begin to think about new beginnings…change. Why not just live the life you want 365 days? You are beautiful just the way you are! Now live that!!!
Got holiday blues?
Cope with creativity!
Draw, paint, write, journal!
Art Prescription: As the year comes to close I come full circle with the intention of the Art Prescription. Creativity is healing. Making art boosts your feel good hormones and makes your immune system stronger. So…while you are making your new years resolution list…add something creative, like keeping a daily journal. Go ahead. Buy something pretty and just start! It will do your spirit good!
Blue and red, purple
Search for Radiant Orchid
Color of the year.
Art Prescription: The color of 2014 has been announced, Radiant Orchid. One of my favorite color explorations is to mix paint. Meditation on 108 shades.
Two thousand thirteen
Slips cooly out the back-door
All is calm and bright!
Art Prescription: For some the holiday season comes to a roaring halt, moms and dads exhausted, children over-stimulated and cranky, people wishing they were really HOME for the holidays. Okay, I’m not bah-humbug. I just think simple is better. Peace is good…
Creeks covered with ice
Squirrels scurry with leaves up tree
To pad winter nest.
Art Prescription: It’s cold. Fun to watch squirrels gathering leaves in their mouths and darting up trees to pad their nest. Suppose that’s what we are all doing this time of year…
Love lights up the home
Grocery carts groan plenty
Making spirits bright1
Art Prescription: Many thoughts of how plentiful my life is. Sending love out to those who are lonely and less fortunate during the holiday season. May the blue bird of hope fly into your life.
Wind rattles dried leaves
Bare branches click together
Cold rain front moves in.
Art Prescription: A very strange warm weekend for December. A front with rain brings winter back.
Little cotton-tail
Rabbit bolts, leaps, darts, zig-zags
White blur, brown thicket.
Art Prescription: Winter Solstice? Feels like spring instead. Temperature about 70 degrees. And bunnies, who are usually cuddled up in brambles, are out hopping.
With drama the sun
Makes her entry, bold pink swaths
Lullabies the moon.
Art Prescription: Tomorrow is the longest night of the year and shortest day. Early this morning I observed the sun and the moon biding adieu to each other.
Patience is virtue
Time, precious privilege
Lucky to have both!
Art Prescription: Most people don’t have both…actually lucky to have one or the other. In our ramped up society, seems most folks are racing with the clock, hurry-up, hurry-up. Do we waste our days rushing through?
