Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
Rejuvination
A spring of positive strength
Renew, refresh, grow!!
Art Prescription: I’ve had two very busy days at my nursing job. Life presents us many ways to grow and learn. Art is a perfect conduit for catharsis, a way to channel emotions, and come out on the other side with a sense of renewal.
Recipe for joy
Take paper, color, and line
Mix, add spice. Enjoy!
Art Prescription: Spent time in my studio art journaling, and in the woods nature sketching. Sweet!! Sat in one place and sketched about four different wildflowers (stay tuned). In the studio I worked on a piece inspired by 21 Secrets, an art journaling workshop I’m participating in…this was fun!
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.
Freshly laid hen eggs
A box of pastel colors
From my friends backyard!
Art Prescription: A friend gave me a dozen eggs fresh from her hens. They are so pretty! This is just a very quick watercolor sketch…would love to spend some time capturing these pearly gems!
Colored sketchbook fun
Watercolor pencils, draw
Then paint with water!!
Art Prescription: Watercolor pencils are a great tool for sketch-booking outside. Simply take your pencils and sketchbook, draw and color en plein air. Then back in the studio add water for a surprise mixing of color. Sketchbook graffiti!
Capture pure essence
With a simple line, gesture
Sketch a piece of life.
Art Prescription: I love drawing quick pen and ink sketches of my cats! Keep a sketchbook handy and try capturing some moments of your day…a piece of fruit, a pet, birds at feeder, just keep your hand moving across the page! You can capture a lot with a few lines!
All jobs are not work
For example pet sitting
Paid in licks and love!!
Art Prescription: As a cat owner, 3!! I enjoy walking dogs! So I’m caring for two adorable, feisty, small dogs while their parents are in Ruperto Rico. I’m flattered to earn their trust so quickly!
“The artist only needs the willingness to paint.”
“There’s always a clean white canvas.”
Taught an Art Prescription Workshop today with friends. My goal in mentoring is to help the individual bring out their artistic voice. To move away from expectations and to respond to what happens in the moment that paint and brush come together.
One man’s junk is another’s treasure…look at this fantastic ink work! I then colored it in…
Tall pines stand sentry
Silhouette in clear cold sky
Flock of geese fly, honk!
Art Prescription: Watercolor sketch!
