Chickadee morning
Cheerful chirpers bid good day
Hop from branch to branch.
Art Prescription: It’s the small things that count…good morning winged creatures!

Art Prescription August 14, 2013 Inspiration
Inspirational
Art done on an index card
Meant to share with love.
Art Prescription: Among the field of miniature art, there are Artist Trading Cards and Index Card Art. I’ve done a few Index Card pieces with the idea to share with others. Slip a little art into your partner’s lunch, or your kid’s…surprise a co-worker with some art for her desk, stick a little inspiration in the card to your mom…Everyone needs a little inspiration!

Haiku August 10, 2013 Crepe Myrtle
Crepe Myrtle stretches
Branches heavy with dense blooms
August ornaments!
Art Prescription: Have you ever looked really close at Crepe Myrtle blooms? They are delicate and complex…I should do a 10 x!!
Haiku August 8, 2013 Desk Art
A desk pick-me-up
Miniature office art
Little reminder.
Art Prescription: I don’t have a “desk” at work, as I move from room to room. I do notice that there are regularly posted comics or inspirational quotes around those who do have a designated space. So I did a little index card art in honor of “desk art.” We all work hard…doesn’t hurt to have joyful reminders in our spaces!! Breathe!
Haiku August 7, 2013 Healing Bath
Hot Vetiver bath
Nurtures skin, supports courage
Anchors the spirit.
Art Prescription: Another fully lived day painting in my garden. This time I set about to paint Cosmos and painted Cosmos. And a hot herb bath will ready me for my nursing job tomorrow…mind, body, and spirit!
Haiku August 5, 2013 Nature Tactics
Army of songbirds
Descend on intruder hawk
The war of nature.
Art Prescription: While taking a ride on my bike, I noticed a bunch of racket going on in the woods. I stopped and scanned the trees for the action. Then I saw a rooster-sized hawk being bombarded by many songbirds…cardinals, bluejays, woodpeckers…They were all working as a team to make the intruder flee. Finally after much feather pecking, the hawk took off to nearby pines. The persistent songbirds followed. Amazing!
Haiku August 1, 2013 Butterflies
Plethora of wings
Swallowtails glide, touch down on
Flora lush from rain.
Art Prescription: Have you noticed all the butterflies? There seems to be more than usual…all the rain? They are so delicate.
Haiku July 31, 2013 Country Road
Down a country lane
Past cedar fences and fields
Cows graze, roosters crow!
Art Prescription: Take a drive in the country!
Haiku July 28, 2013 Index Card Art
Studio feline
Marks me as his while I paint
Stretches on wool rug.
Art Prescription: My black house cat Matisse meows from sun-up to sun-down. High maintenance, but I love him dearly. This afternoon I took him with me out to my studio. He didn’t say a word!! Meandered around, slinking by my ankles and stretching out on my rug. I think he knew he was in sacred space. (and had me all to himself, spoiled) A follower of mine introduced me to index card art… thanks http://girlunwinding.wordpress.com/
