Finally Fall November 1, 2014

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.

Repurposed October 21, 2014

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.

Teen Boys October 15, 2014

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.

Monarch Fuel October 10, 2014

Lantana, fuel up

Monarchs begin their south bound

Journey, Mexico.

Art Prescription:  It’s heartening to see monarchs!! Perhaps the conservationEnvelope art monarch.jpg efforts to help them on their journey to Mexico is paying off. Several friends are seeing them in their gardens too!! Pen and ink and colored pencil on an envelope, with a few stamps!! Fun…
