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….
Zinnias October 22, 2014

Raise their head towards the sun
Shield against first frost.

Age October 20, 2014
Leaves age gracefully
In a riot of color
Know when to let go.

Fairy Pool October 16, 2014
Mary Fairy’s pool
The rain fills the mushroom lid

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!
New Direction September 25, 2014
Through open windows
Comes fall and winds of new path
Trees let go with ease.
Art Prescription: Are you wresting with letting go of something? Nature’s lesson this season is to let go and rest with full courage that new growth is next. Collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil on an envelope. I thought about using pieces of the envelope in a collage, and then I thought why not just do art on the envelope!!
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.
