Finding “It” January 11, 2015

Makes you feel alive

Your senses on edge, it’s real

Spend a day…a life.

Art Prescription:  What makes you feel alive? When you wake in the morning and put two feet on the ground, what gives you that feeling of “Yes!” Okay…well do that more.

Deer January 10, 2015

Six brown eyes on us

They stand like statues in grass

Deer at Mason Farm!

Art Prescription:  A nature walk with my best friend, my love…Lots of birds and owls talking about territory. So beautiful. Around the bend we came up on a deer family. They of course saw us first.

Reflection December 15, 2014

Like a sheet of ice

The pond reflects cool blue sky

Wispy rows of clouds.

Art Prescription:  Like a still pond, our art reflects what we are feeling inside. This is why it is so important to just express yourself with art!! No judgement about whether it is “good” or not. Just get it out in color, brush-strokes, or collage.

Mixed media expressive painting.

Candle Lit Street December 13, 2014

Four seconds to flame

Neighbors come out, winter night

Streets lined with candles.

Art Prescription:  I’ve been heading up luminaries for our neighborhood for about 8 years. The thing that always brings me joy is to see neighbors coming out and working together as a community to create a beautiful winter night.

Thank you to my local followers for coming to my Open Studio!!
