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.

Haiku February 27, 2013 Fresh Eggs
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!
Haiku February 25, 2013 Watercolor Pencils
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!
Haiku February 15, 2013 Essence
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!
Haiku February 2, 2013 Work versus Job
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!
Art Prescription Workshop
“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…
Haiku January 19, 2013 Tall Pines
Tall pines stand sentry
Silhouette in clear cold sky
Flock of geese fly, honk!
Art Prescription: Watercolor sketch!
Haiku January 15, 2013 Spontaneity
Spontaneity
Dip into any color
And life to paper!
Art Prescription: This goes for any form of creativity! Sometimes the best thing to do is just GO! Get started! and see where it heads.
Haiku January 8, 2013 All we need
Love is all we need
Right there in front of our face
Sun moves out of clouds.
Art Prescription: All we have is all we need is a nice mantra for the New Year. And here’s a doodle!
Haiku December 5, 2012 Attitude
Her breath touched my cheek
Felt a wisp of hair, rose scent
My secret sister.
Art Prescription: We have three cats, two boys and one girl, who is their mother. We fostered the whole gang intending to keep two kittens. The mother cat won our hearts immediately! Her name is Maya and she is phenomenal! This is a fun sketchbook idea. Draw a line or series of lines. Now what do you see!
