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.

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!!

Boundaries June 11, 2014

Agree, disagree

Stand your branch, chest puffed out bold

Speak your one true voice.

Art Prescription:  Relationships get challenged in many ways. We are all being pulled so many different directions these days. What started out as a painting of tropical birds turned into a commentary for me…art prescription.
