Thick, humid July
Grey broody sky hangs heavy
Sly seasonal shift.
Art Prescription: Twas unusually quiet on my evening walk. Just a couple of frogs croaking and an occasional bird. I sense the season beginning to change. Spring and summer are petering out, and though we have many warm days ahead, there is a subtle change in the air.
This is a work in progress with many layers so far…not sure where it’s going…
Play invitation
Blow black ink, add fall color
Voila, autumn scene!!
Art Prescription: In Art Rx today we blew ink with straws and then painted with watercolor…invite adults to play and they each make art!!
Pumpkins on doorsteps
Project, the future of a
Lit Jack-o-Lantern!
Art Prescription: As I take my evening walk I enjoy the celebration of fall.
Cool and steady mist
Partly cloudy for days now
On the edge of fall.
Art Prescription: Each day the trees have a bit more color. Nature patiently puts on her fall wardrobe.
Red, orange glistens
Sun glows through tree canopy
Leaves crunch under feet!
Art Prescription: Morning walk! The woods are awake. Different time of day…different mood.
Life is ritual
Comfort measures, insurance
Safety net for soul.
Art Prescription: Some people like change. I like same. Quiet life…busy mind…creativity!
Delicamente
A song for long precious life.
Holidays are here!
Art Prescription: The iconoclastic pumpkin is…simply beautiful. I’ve painted, so far, three different variations of the pumpkin and will share in future blogs. I’m busy cutting rice paper leaves for the UNC Hospital Remembering Tree and had lots of small pieces of paper left over. Always a fan of trying a new technique, I made a tiny collage.
Last weekend light fades
Squirrels scamper to their nests
Jewels fall from trees!
Art Prescription: Long lived weekend! Yard work, pumpkins, cupcakes!! Lots of being outside! Try watercolor sketching a leaf or two! This one will go out as a Haiku O Gram tomorrow!!
Allegro for fall
Hot coffee and pumpkin patch
Dry leaves swirl to ground.
Art Prescription: If you spend any time gazing out the window these days you will see leaves floating to a resting spot on earth. Many writers acknowledge the slightly sad, melancholy feelings that come with fall. There is that…There is also the refreshing cool weather when hot beverages warm the hand, and autumn color burst onto the scene with bright orange and red. Tomorrow I’m heading to a local pumpkin patch for visuals to feed my artist eye!!
Mist rises above
Earthy forest air. Autumn!
Rain slides off a leaf.
Art Prescription: A wonderful rainy fall day!! House cozy, time for fluffy socks. My idea for this watercolor sketch was bamboo. Working with a color loaded brush on a slanted watercolor block, I dripped blue and green. From there this forest took on a life of its own…
