Someone enters world.

Learn from Mistakes February 25, 2014
Wrong composition
Learn from your mistakes and then
Just go start over!!
Art Prescription: So every painting does not work out!! Sometimes you begin and get to a point where you realize, “this is just not working.” Then you go for a walk and come back. Choose to abandoned your painting and go all out with color, knowing tomorrow there will be a fresh new clean sheet of white paper.

Birds of a feather
Stick together thick and thin
Let the sunshine in!

Puppy February 21, 2014
New parent training
Four legs, boundless energy
A black lab puppy!

Passion February 19, 2014
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?
Snow Melts February 16, 2014
Snow recedes, gives way
To green and the sounds of spring
Cardinals call out.

February Owl February 15, 2014
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…

Pantone Color Mixing February 12, 2014
Shoes sink, snow powder
Fat flakes fall, branches heavy
White winter wonder.
Art Prescription: Winter storm!!! Beautiful today, snow falling, building a blanket of white across everything. I’m working on a project with very specific Pantone colors. Mixing colors is a challenge and takes some understanding of warm and cool and saturation.
Planning February 10, 2014
Start here, end up there
Brain thinks, spirit takes over
Expressive painting!!
Art Prescription: Sometimes the best thing is to take brush and paint to paper!! You may not be creating a work of art. You may be doing your body, mind, and spirit some good by just letting go. Expressive painting increases your immune system. Now go…and let.
