Hot bubblegum pink
Petunias spill outward
Wave to butterflies.
Art Prescription: This started as a watercolor pencil sketch in my garden on mixed-media paper. Then I took it into my studio and washed it down with water. I added watercolor loosely over pencil strokes and then spattered a bit! FUN!
Goddess of July
Rays of silk, golden, yellow
Flower of the sun.
Art Prescription: My hubby brought me flowers. It still thrills me! As I arranged these sunflowers, I knew I had to capture them in paint. Did a loose watercolor today…will see if it’s done tomorrow, or if I want to detail.
Body moves in time
Her white hips sway and sashay
By the lush corn field.
Art Prescription: A majestic trail ride this morning with Lacey! I felt we moved as one through the wooded path and around tall, lush corn stalks. Except, she cheated and took a bite out of one…don’t tale!
July is fading
Perfect sunny summer days
Crickets hum, content.
Art Prescription: Two busy days at my RN job and doing a little art always gives me a lift. 3 x 5 index card art!
Colorful journey
Air, sunshine and laid-back vibe
Relax and recharge.
Art Prescription: Tired after my RN day…found poetry. Yes, I do notice the “get-away” theme.
3 x 5 index card art. I love being able to do these! Brings me satisfaction to the most stressful days.
Looking and hoping
Wishing, expecting, dreaming
Life’s many milestones.
Art Prescription: Life is a series of milestones…pregnant, new baby, preschool, kindergarden, high school graduation, college graduation, engagement, marriage….Celebrate!
Rejuvenation
A place to go to deep breath
Regroup, rest, do art.
Art Prescription: My assignment from a customer, spa art, has me day-dreaming about such a place. Waterfalls, massages, long walks in nature, time to contemplate, inspired art…Wanna go?
Here is how my piece from yesterday turned out.
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.
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!
Bucolic landscape
Cosmos wind upwards, gold flags
Cone flowers stand guard.
Art Prescription: Rode Lacey today!! Meadow ride across freshly cut pastures, bucolic. Then home to sketch in my own garden. Grateful for this day.
