Like swing ride at fair
Cosmo seed globes burst outward
Wait for wind to bed.
Art Prescription: My Cosmos are still blooming! So on one plant I have at least four stages of their life cycle: bud, flower, fertilize, seed! The seed globes are mini sculptures, delicate, and highly designed! Nature is a master architect!
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.
Love is currency
Thai soup, home-made bread, laundry!
Account status: Full!
Art Prescription: In life there are many hours we simply cannot bill for. The major categories are house-work, yard-work, food gathering and preparing, and for mom’s with kids this list is infinity. The pay is love. Creativity comes in many forms!! What a luxury to be able to spend a day adding to life’s account with hand and heart!
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!!
Final disbursement
A cold front moves in from north
Tenders take cover!
Art Prescription: Forecast taking a dive…October is upon us. Hold still my beating heart for the last tender blooms!
No kissing allowed
He leaves, I feel forgotten
Colds are not sexy!!!!!
Art Prescription: I’m writing with a box of tissue on hand. Do you remember your first kiss? A simple cold would not keep me from attempting to share my germs with my 7th grade boyfriend. All things change. After 21 years of marriage, here I am almost 2 1/5 weeks in the guest room. The first week was me trying to not get my beloved’s cold. The next week, allowing him to sleep without waking to my persistent cough. Ain’t marriage grand!! Can I get a kiss hello? A hug?
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…
Stand tall fall bloomer
A final burst of color
Last call! Bumblebees!
Art Prescription: I planted an African Daisy on my porch last spring, and it has delivered blooms all summer. With cooler nights now suddenly it is covered in blooms, as if it knows to give it all its got before October frost comes creeping in. I watercolor-sketched for a creativity fix after two very busy days at my nursing job.
Dangles from a tree
A poem for someone to find
It’s haiku-o-gram!!
Art Prescription: My haiku-a-day is branching out. Today I hung Haiku-o-gram 2, since 1 launched. This project is all about delight! and I’m writing haikus on recycled pieces of art. My intention is to purely surprise and brighten someone’s day. A little gift flapping in the wind!! It’s fun to do something unexpected!!
Sauna heat rises
I begin meditation
Some guy smacks on gum!
Art Prescription: Sometimes it’s hard to tune others out. As I sat there though, eventually the popping and clicking faded away as I tried to focus on my breath. Working on several different mock-ups for a new collection…have not named it yet…what would you call it? Here is the pillow!
