Orange and Blue August 4, 2014

Opposites attract

Blue and orange, vibration

Up-cycle a bird.

Art Prescription:  True to my own medicine I used art to get through my day. My three kitty-cats went to have dental today. Two of them had extractions….ugh. I worked with paper and did another bird to pass away the time and keep my mind from worrying.

Be Real May 11, 2014

Sunday endorphins

Found in the pool, lap by lap

Hallmark holiday.

Art Prescription:  What if everyday was Mother’s Day, Nurse’s Day, Father’s Day?  How about we treat everyday as a holiday to celebrate life and those we love? Why wait until it’s pushed upon us and most people think everyone else is celebrating the perfect “day.” My wish!!! Be real…be you…

Haiku April 22, 2013 Art Journaling

Visual stories

Paper, glue, images, paint,

Art journal collage.

Art Prescription:  Great group of art journal artists today. Everyone has a story, and it’s creative and healing to express it with images. Here you will see the unconscious surface. Be free, respond to the colors and images…be in the moment.

Haiku November 14, 2012 Leaf Collage

Rich earth, woodsy smell

Steady shower of leaves fall

Ground collage takes shape.

Art Prescription:  An early walk in the woods is good for the soul! Standing there watching morning sunlight stream in as leaves dance and sway to the ground is magical. I felt for a moment, oh no! what if this were not here! So quiet and peaceful there…like no other place.

Haiku October 10, 2012 Delicate Life

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.
