Under bright moonlight
I take a breath of pure joy
For all that is…life.
Art Prescription: While a friend came to help me take an objective look at my open studio set-up, she noticed my cut butterflies for Art Prescription Kits. She has a family member who is unwell, and she wants to send a butterfly every few days as a word of encouragement, sign of support. I’m so pleased to provide some pretty butterflies for this act from the heart.
Flock, geese overhead
Creatures of rhythm, same path
Create a pattern.
Art Prescription: Art journaling, or doing a little art every day, is about creating a pattern and a space to do it. Here is a little kit to get you going.
Art Rx Kit:
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.
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!
Peace and happiness
Paint color one three eight O
And time to collage.
Art Prescription: It’s really about the simple things.
Sunday, day of rest
A treat to get quiet, nap
Cat acupuncture!
Art Prescription: I’m not much of a napper, can never fall asleep during the day. I do relish laying down though and resting my body. With three cats, someone is always going to join me. Mocha, my tabby, will make biscuits for 30 minutes straight. Got a session of cat acupuncture and then up I went to the studio to play. 8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
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.
Yard swing, days gone by
Time to set a while, talk slow
Linger in the shade.
Art Prescription: Iconic scene. A century old farm house. An outside setting with a swing for getting together in the yard.
Mid-July humid
Morning walk, cicadas whirl
Sweat tickles my back.
Art Prescription: The joys of summer are vast. Morning walks are one of them. A brisk gate before the sun beams down with her stinging rays.
I’m working on an Art Prescription Kit with assorted collage papers and instructions for some art journaling pages!
You were born with wings
Jump and spread them wide to soar
Catch current of life.
Art Prescription: It is really all about the here and now. It takes mental homework to remind myself of this daily. Not to get caught up in the past or future. Might be time for some 3 x 5 notecards placed on my mirror.
