Long trails of students
File together through campus
Tour of their future.
Art Prescription: Since my RN job is part of UNC, I’m around students every day. They are young and eager and have the world in front of them. Today while waiting for my bus home a large group passed by. I couldn’t help but look at them with a sense of envy and relief!! Can you imagine being a freshman again? Can you imagine being a freshman again!!
Her yellow suitcase
Is packed thanks to the cosmos
Wait, the sunflower!
Art Prescription: I adore watching the bees hover around my garden filling their pollen pouches with yellow gold. They get so loaded down, and yet they move on to the next bloom and the next…clearly inebriated! New wedding invitation designs!
Wake-up juice, java
Rich, smooth morning enjoyment
Brown-gold coffee beans!
Art Prescription: It is really the small things! Pen and ink sketch-doodle…
Menage a trois show
A choreographed wing act
Delicate magic!
Art Prescription: When I stepped around to my path to my studio, three beautiful swallowtails were dancing around my pink Echinacea. It was like magic. I’d love to paint this…for now a capture.
Sunday worship time
All rise for the choir to sing
July’s symphony!!
Art Prescription: Painted en plein air today on Yes canvas. Different from my usual paper. Not finished…maybe tomorrow. Isn’t my studio cute!!!
Life is a puzzle
At times all the pieces fit
At times parts are lost.
Art Prescription: So what do you do on those days where things just don’t seem to fit together? What can you do to shift your mood to something better? Exercise, art, music, cook, pets…name your remedy! Please share!
Rejuvination
A spring of positive strength
Renew, refresh, grow!!
Art Prescription: I’ve had two very busy days at my nursing job. Life presents us many ways to grow and learn. Art is a perfect conduit for catharsis, a way to channel emotions, and come out on the other side with a sense of renewal.
Set out for a walk
Clouds gathered, distant rumble
Rain drops fall, I’m wet!!
Art Prescription: This time of year a walk in a steady drizzle can actually be refreshing. Then my neighbor’s dog took off running wild through the woods, freaked by the thunder. I went off after him, poison ivy and all! Like a deer he shot through the bramble. Luckily he and his owner are both safely home, not sure who is more shaken. For me, a warm shower and a glass of wine should do.
Farmer’s market stars
A bucket of zinnias
Steal the summer show!
Art Prescription: Went to a “refrigerator pickling” demo today at the local farmer’s market. Good things to come from that!! And the zinnias stole my eye!
Virginia creeps
Wraps her young tendrils around
Lazy summer stretch.
Art Prescription: Go out into the garden and see what story is waiting for you there.
