If Trout-lilys played
A musical instrument.
They’d be violins.
Art Prescription: One of the main reasons I like sketching live is to feel the personality of a plant. As a certified botanical illustrator, we were taught to tell the plant’s story. Get your sketchbook and go out and draw…think you can’t draw? Just let your hand follow your eye. Get your brain, and what you think you see out of the way….just follow the contours of the subject.
In the woods a nest
Made with down and feathers, waits
For newly laid eggs.
Art Prescription: A dance in the water…the male soars just above, lands with grace and ripples. The female is interested. Her nest is ready…
A pen and paper
Expressive sketch, just capture
The essence of cat.
Art Prescription: Part of the Art Prescription philosophy is to encourage creativity any where, any time. Nothing has to be perfect, just play and have fun.
Backyard bird haven
Songbirds await arrival
Mini feathered friends.
Art Prescription: Season change brings new friends.
Gentleness of spring
Warmth and care like summer breeze
Share it with people.
Art Prescription: A day at my nursing job always reminds me of how much I have to be thankful for! Knowing there are many things I cannot change, my hope is to deliver a moment of kindness and warmth. What do you want to be remembered for? What brings you pride and serenity?
Sleepy-eyed I fall
Into my lover’s embrace
Grey morning, warm hug.
Art Prescription: On the edge of sleep when you haven’t fully connected with the busy world is a perfect time to embrace your loves. Spouses, partners, children, pets, spirit! Embrace connecting with them.
Leaves frolic, March wind
Pansies bloom braving the cold
Birds are on the chase!
Art Prescription: As dried leaves tumble down the street, birds dart and dive for territory and mates.
Internal chaos
Like an overgrown garden
Get in there and weed!
Art Prescription: What could you prune back or remove from your life in order to fully blossom?!?
Heart beats for knowledge
So many books, day, seconds
To take it all in!
Art Prescription: Do you ever feel overwhelmed when you walk into a library or book store and think I want to read it all!! Life is so glorious and complicated, and there is so much to learn! Was it Shakespeare who said, “the world is too much.”
Air clean after rain
Beech leaves glow against hardwoods
Mockingbird nocturne.
