Shadow October 23, 2014
Dark shadow and light
Both of value, no judgement
Balance, live in each.
Art Prescription: We all have our shadow side, the stories we have made up about our lives. It’s how we cope. The mind is a powerful thing! Art…….take me away!! Far, far, away….
Age October 20, 2014
Leaves age gracefully
In a riot of color
Know when to let go.
Art Prescription: Watercolor on paper.
Fairy Pool October 16, 2014
Mary Fairy’s pool
The rain fills the mushroom lid
Fairies take a dip.
Art Prescription: True… You believe right?!?
Teen Boys October 15, 2014
Down the hill they go
Skateboards! choreographed speed
Practice makes perfect.
Art Prescription: Two teen boys in my neighborhood have been practicing for a couple of days now going down and around on a hilly path. Muddy from crashing, they giggle and try again. Just two boys and their wheels…no thought of the past or the future…just the now.
Puddle Jumping October 14, 2014
Hard steady fall rain
Forgot your umbrella, well
Find a puddle, jump!
Art Prescription: Why do some folks complain about the rain? As kids we found things joyful no matter what. When was the last time you jumped into a big rain puddle!! ?? Go ahead, you have my permission…
Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Mini Treats September 12, 2014
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.
Haiku July 12, 2013 Rejuvination
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.
Haiku April 7, 2013 Art Journal
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!
