Grief, like the ocean
Ripples or waves, knocks you down
River, salty tears.
Art Prescription: A sad day for me as a good feline friend left this world to another. She was a delight and my heart is a little broken. I pray for healing and recovery for her family.
A soothing series
Flitter, flutter, butterflies
Collection of wings!
Art Prescription: Taking a subject and doing multiples is skill building. You find out what works and what doesn’t, you can play with color, size, and composition. I’m doing these for a note card design for UNC Hospitals. Which one do you like?
BE the change you want
Focus, awaken, believe
What does YES look like?
Art Prescription: To me YES looks like a butterfly flying gracefully over the sweet nectar that is life. And landing on a few flowers here and there to refuel. But always it’s about the sweet spot.
Open door weather
My studio, my escape
Breeze sweeps my brushes.
Art Prescription: And then don’t know what got into me, but I started finger painting. Squirting paint directly onto paper and spreading it with my fingers. It’s good to get your hands into a little paint now and then.
A herd of horses
Come thundering across field
Majestic beauties!
Art Prescription: Watching Deborah Pearson-Moyers (http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us/aboutus.htm) call her herd of horses and see them galloping across the field for breakfast is simply a moment of pure magic! They were not visible out in the pasture, but her voice had them come over the ridge of the field in one big thundering group. She said, “Listen to that!” Yep she loves it! Me too!
Magic meadow wind
The breath of woodland fairies
Stay awhile, listen.
Art Prescription: We hiked both weekend days at Mason Farm, a local wildlife preserve close to home. It’s a spirit-filled place for both of us. A place to be still and quiet and listen to the wind.
Black and white and gray
The world is neither, but a
Beautiful mixture!
Art Prescription: Slept with my black ink pen last night…talk about the pea and the princess. The hazard of bedtime journaling. Well, just suffice it to say that I totally went to the drug store to buy “White Rain” hairspray. Let’s hope that works to get the ink out of the sheets. In the meantime thought some black and white art just seemed right!
I’m one of many
Hearts broken, stories retold.
Stand up in the field!!
Art Prescription: Each wildflower reaches for their own sunshine!! Enough to share…well, please do.
Fall brushes my cheek
Wind whispers through still full trees
Crows caw in distance.
Art Prescription: When you listen, you can hear the call of your dreams!
Pink sneakers, white hat
Walk my path as sun settles
My Hearts-a-bustin.
Art Prescription: Euonymus americanus – Bursting Heart, Hearts-a-bustin’, Strawberry Bush.. E. americanus is a shrub with thin stems and opposing, shallowly serrated leaves. The bush grows from 4 to 6 feet tall. Fruit is a red 4-lobed capsule. Each lobe splits open in the autumn, giving the name Bursting Heart.
There are many days that we may feel our hearts are bursting, with joy, with praise, and with sorrow.
