Uniform, day wear
Unison, cows come to barn
Unity, full moon.
Art Prescription: All of life is a pattern. You can see it everywhere in nature…sunflowers, pine-cones, birds flying together. We humans are creatures of pattern. Watercolor sketch…full moon.
So dark six o’clock
Bright cheery papers, art cards
Chase the winter blues.
Art Prescription: Here are some samples from today’s Art Rx Holiday Card class. Played with yarn and collage, papers, and stamps.
Berries in their beaks
A cluster of robins feed
Abundant autumn.
Art Prescription: Another wonderful walk at Mason Farm. We’ve been walking here for 23 years! Our favorite place. Always something to cure the soul, just us and nature. Pen and ink and colored pencil on envelope.
Outside my window
Fall has brushed trees with color
Warm golden yellows!
Art Prescription: My husband bought me a horse for our 23rd wedding anniversary gift…Finn!! I’m so excited and overwhelmed with love. Stay tuned for lots of pics and art with my boy Finn!! Watercolor pencils on an envelope.
Almost November
First snow expected to west
Red Gerbers still bloom.
Art Prescription: A cold front is moving in. To the west of us snow is predicted. My Gerber Daisies are still in full bloom. Here is another IKAT design in watercolor.
Rainbow through the trees
A prism, arc, reflection
Pot of gold awaits.
Art Prescription: The reward for walking in the rain! Colored pencil on an envelope.
Regal hawk on wire
Hunts over field and meadow
Tractor marks on dirt.
Art Prescription: A field through the seasons…sow, reap, plow. Fresh tractor marks on red dirt fields. Sketch on an envelope.
Fall pink zinnias
Raise their head towards the sun
Shield against first frost.
Art Prescription: Pen and Ink sketch in journal.
A life before now
Repurposed, a new pattern
Life, double helix.
Art Prescription: Many objects and patterns have multiple lives. A farmer’s tool cart becomes a magazine rack. An old bed becomes a porch swing. Old patterns cycle round…here is a watercolor take on IKAT.
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.
