An artist’s tool box
Brushes, palette knives, scissors
A finger painting!
Art Prescription: Art Prescription group today in my studio. Our project was to start a painting, and then paint over it, and over it again. The process of letting go what was there before. And then finally to cut that painting up into pieces and see what emerges…stories, tales.
Birds of a feather
Stick together thick and thin
Let the sunshine in!
Art Prescription: When a friend hurts we hurt. Sending love out to some sisters in need.
Tiny yellow blooms
Crocuses announce, open
Curtain, spring’s debut.
Art Prescription: Delicate beauties…3 x 5 watercolor pencil sketch.
A shape in the trees
Late eve walk, sun sets low east
Spot a Great Horned Owl.
Art Prescription: What a treat to see a Great Horned Owl! Quick 3 x 5 index card sketch.
New parent training
Four legs, boundless energy
A black lab puppy!
Art Prescription: After two busy days at my RN job, I was delighted to meet Molly!! Two young parents brave their first, “she only wakes us up once.”
Asking for a sign
Spot an Evening Grosbeak
She waits for me now.
Art Prescription: Sometimes the good stuff has to wait. Has to wait to pay the mortgage, has to wait to pay college tuition, has to wait to pay the grocery bill…has to wait. I have a lovely Evening Grosbeak waiting for me to paint her. I will get there…for now a purple sketch.
The word passion means
“To be affected.” Basic
Energy of soul.
Art Prescription: Do you pay attention to your passions? Those things that “affect” you. What gives you energy? What takes it away? Are you being true to yourself?
Creamy morning dove
High in tree top late day sun
Coos softly for mate.
Art Prescription: Caught a glimpse of a creamy-white breast of a mourning dove. Warm afternoon sun just right. Coos, reminiscent of summers at my grandmother’s pond.
Perched in a pine bough
She turns and looks straight at me
February owl.
Art Prescription: On my evening walk I saw a hawk-shaped silhouette. Imagine my surprise and joy when I zoomed in with my binoculars and saw it to be a young owl. Owl medicine…
One act of kindness
The stray cat finds heated house
To know she is warm.
Art Prescription: Seeing one of the cats who are roaming in this cold weather cuddled up in the cat house, gives me a sense of peace.
