Sketching in Bed

Content
Cozy purr buddy
Contentment at my bedtime
Keeps me company.
Art Prescription: Anyone with a fur baby knows the satisfaction of having them by your side.
Simple pleasures.
Pen and ink sketch:
Meet You Head On
Caught in spider’s web
The more you fight, you tangle
And then it’s supper.
Art Prescription: So many metaphors here…
Life in this pandemic era is a story to be written.
Panther July 16, 2016
Hunter wanna be
Slips out the door routinely
Inside panther cat.
Art Prescription: My two cats are content as they can be, inside lazing around. But not my third cat
Matisse!! Matisse howls incessantly to go outside, and he slips under my feet like a bolt of lightening when I go out the door, escaping into the big outdoors. He usually stops short of the driveway and dives into the grass. It’s a dilemma! I know I love outdoors, but safety comes first. I allow him to explore sometimes with me chasing behind him as if he were a toddler.
Index card and watercolor:
Cat June 28, 2016
Strong wrists, table pose
Inhale, now stretch into cow
Exhale, round back, cat.
Art Prescription: Yoga…a place to put life…
Index card with watercolor:
This Town February 20, 2015
Been hanging round this
Town for so, so long, walk paths
Just like yesterday.
Art Prescription: As I walked to the bus, lunch in hand, I cornered the UNC School of Nursing. Been hanging around this town for a long time. This, it occurs to me, is my life…
Pet sitting for my favorite neighbor cat…watercolor sketching her while visiting.
Work and Play July 18, 2014
Essential play
What is your secret pleasure?
Snicker, giggle, laugh!
Art Prescription: To watch a cat hop and dance around, chasing a stuffed bird with shear delight, leads to giggles.
Collage Dream July 15, 2014
Shelter from the storm
A brown card-board box offered
To a stray black cat.
Art Prescription: While I’m working and preparing to roll out my ideas for collage ephemera on Etsy, painting and cutting, and taking pictures, etc. Blackie, the local stray, occupies my mind. I’m feeding him and giving him some de-worm medicine. He sits cautiously at least 3 feet away. Meanwhile, I’m excited to offer some hand-painted collage pieces for art journaling and mixed media!
Haiku March 27, 2013 Sketch Fun
A pen and paper
Expressive sketch, just capture
The essence of cat.
Art Prescription: Part of the Art Prescription philosophy is to encourage creativity any where, any time. Nothing has to be perfect, just play and have fun.
