Slow and steady now
Dragonflies dip down and swoon
It is so July.
Art Prescription: And July means hot. Heated tempers, sweating to no end, everyone is on edge.
How to stay clear of everyone’s frustrations? art!
Started this in my backyard:
At the beach I love walking down side streets to look at architecture and gardening. You can tell the difference in a house lived in versus a rental property. It’s like someone is home.
I started another coastal painting…
Bits, pieces, and whole
The tide brings in all of life
Each day with sunrise.
Art Prescription: No matter where we are in life, the sun rises. We must face the day with our good times and in times of loss.
Time heals our losses, and hope moves us forward.
Art Journal:
Pure power from seed
This plant has a will, success
Her only mission.
Art Prescription: Again I turn to the power of nature. She has no sorrow, regrets, blames no one for her being, and just gets out there and works to bloom her very best. The sun looks down and says well done my little flower.
Watercolor hibiscus:
Spoken word dangles
A bit of fodder for mind
You don’t take the bate.
Art Prescription: have you ever been tested!? When you know someone is trying to get you to take the bate?
Do you realize when others cross boundaries due to their issues?
Relationships are challenging. I really just want to cruise down the middle lane….
Just outside my door
Is everything I need
Backyard paradise.
Art Prescription: I know some of you have really suffered with Covid. I feel so fortunate to be such a home-body.
En Plein Air watercolor: Bee Balm:
Jimmy Buffet song
Coffee over-looking sea
Palms wave in the breeze.
Art Prescription: Summer vacations this year may be different for many.
That doesn’t stop you from going to the beach in your mind.
Watercolor sketch:
Are you in tangles?
The more you pull, tighter knot
What if you let go?
Art Prescription: Relationships are complicated. Sometimes we find ourselves tangled up in someone else’s story.
Then the more involved we get the tighter the boundary lines are drawn.
What if we are willing to let go? Quit trying so hard to please!
