Time for Change October 28, 2013

Real change takes real work

Life. Many distinct layers

Like an onion.

Art Prescription:  Life has many layers, and this can be conveyed in an art journal. I started this page in my workshop today, and once in my studio it took a different route.  An art journal can be a reflection of life.

Hibernation October 26, 2013

First cold frost last night

Green fella steals warmth from rocks

Hibernation time.

Art Prescription:  While walking at Mason Farm today we saw two snakes. A pretty citron-green one and a black one. Since winter is sneaking in, I wasn’t expecting these slithering beauties. Guess like us they are seeking the last bit of warm sunshine!

Day at the Farm October 23, 2013

Who let the girls out?!?

Two mares gallop cross pasteur

And the boys go wild!

Art Prescription:  Spent a grand day at the farm…grooming, admiring, riding, sketching…bliss!! Horses have interesting angles and I’m finding them a challenging and phenomenal subject. Observing them is Zen.

Vision Journal October 14, 2013

He courts her with worm

They mate for life, cardinals.

Year-round backyard birds!

Art Prescription:  I taught an Art Prescription Workshop today, Fabulous You! I asked my group to paint in their journals what they want more of in their lives. What does YES look like? We started off with random watercolor brush-strokes and washes, and then we moved to imagery. It always inspires me to see the art that happens when people give themselves permission to play. Here is my vision page:
