July is fading
Perfect sunny summer days
Crickets hum, content.
Art Prescription: Two busy days at my RN job and doing a little art always gives me a lift. 3 x 5 index card art!

Spa Time July 22, 2014
Rejuvenation
A place to go to deep breath
Regroup, rest, do art.
Art Prescription: My assignment from a customer, spa art, has me day-dreaming about such a place. Waterfalls, massages, long walks in nature, time to contemplate, inspired art…Wanna go?
Here is how my piece from yesterday turned out.
Vintage Hunt July 7, 2014
Ephemera hunt
Inspiration in a bag
Bits, paper, pieces.
Art Prescription: So, what if you got a bag of goodies to do collage with? A bag of random ephemera to take and do as you please! Art journaling, art collage, expressive therapy!
Born to Soar June 30, 2014
You were born with wings
Jump and spread them wide to soar
Catch current of life.
Art Prescription: It is really all about the here and now. It takes mental homework to remind myself of this daily. Not to get caught up in the past or future. Might be time for some 3 x 5 notecards placed on my mirror.
Tools of the Trade June 23, 2014
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.
Sing True June 22, 2014
I forgo my voice
Trying to sing like others
My throat trembles truth.
Art Prescription: Why does it always take so long to circle back around to our truths?
After a Ride June 21, 2014
After morning ride
She gets a spray, cool water
Returns to the hay.
Art Prescription: Rode Miss Lacey this morning. Went early to beat the heat. I love spraying her down with cool water, washing the saddle-marked sweat from her white body. She enjoys it too! I return her to the paddock where fresh hay awaits. A grazing horse…Zen.
Glamour June 17, 2014
Diamonds and pearls
Everyday glamorous
Audrey Hepburn chic.
Art Prescription: As I sit here all moist with perspiration (aka sweat), in my summer shorts and tees, I wonder did these glamour queens always look this fresh? Did they wear diamonds and pearls to the movies and eat buttered popcorn with their bare hands? Surely they held their pinky finger just so while sipping tea. I’ll be right back….I’m boiling some fresh corn on the cob!!
Father’s Day June 15, 2014
Food truck rodeo
Lip smacking cuisine on wheels
Picnic in the park.
Art Prescription: A lovely day to celebrate Father’s Day! Perfect really! Watercolor sketch on index card.
Art Tools June 13, 2014
Bouquet of pencils
Fresh sharp points for delicate
An eye for details.
Art Prescription: As I survey my blooming garden, I’m amazed at nature’s patterns and details. Time to sharpen my colored pencils for some field sketching!!
