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/
Haiku July 27, 2013 Yoga
Yoga on the porch
Stretch while leaves rustle in wind
Sun salutations!
Art Prescription: I enjoy doing yoga on our back deck!
Haiku July 26, 2013 Best Friends
Afternoon lesson
Side by side they learn to swim
Best friends forever!
Art Prescription: Isn’t it amazing when you stop and think how long you have been friends with someone.! Talk about history…treasured.
Haiku July 23, 2013 In Her Prime
The bloom, in her prime
Stood out as a tall beauty
Delicate petals.
Art Prescription: I find enormous pleasure watching the life cycle of flowers. It’s a build up of anticipation waiting for the bloom! Then bees and butterflies, in love with color, greedily ascend. As the flower begins to fade, the delicate structure remains beautiful.
