Goldfinch October 15, 2013

Canary yellow

High-pitched, sweet-song, melody

Likes thistle, Goldfinch!

Art Prescription:  Taught Art Journaling workshop for parent/child today. The raw honesty of children brings a smile to my face. Fascinating, really, the power of art!  Another Vision Board for me! Seems birds are showing up a lot these days…

Vision Journal October 14, 2013

He courts her with worm

They mate for life, cardinals.

Year-round backyard birds!

Art Prescription:  I taught an Art Prescription Workshop today, Fabulous You! I asked my group to paint in their journals what they want more of in their lives. What does YES look like? We started off with random watercolor brush-strokes and washes, and then we moved to imagery. It always inspires me to see the art that happens when people give themselves permission to play. Here is my vision page:

Autumn Figs October 13, 2013

Sweet meat of Newton

Autumn fruit, chewy when ripe

Green and purple, fig!

Art Prescription:  I’ve long admired the fig tree in my neighbor’s yard. This year it is loaded with fruit. The leaves themselves are a study, just beautiful lines. And the fruit, well, lobes of luscious!

Art Deadline October 10, 2013

Fresh air studio

Door open to breath in fall

Working on deadline!

Art Prescription:  My studio is total chaos!! Fun chaos! I’m working on lots of new paintings, so I have them spread out. At a distance perhaps I will know what to add next. Right now all of these are in progress.
