Many leaves for UNC Hospital Trees. Mulberry paper and pretty cardstock.
Leaves

Remembrance Trees
I’ve been working with UNC Hospitals for years creating Remembrance Trees.
I’m so honored these trees are used in a process for healing as participants write on leaves which are glued to the tree.
I’ve created Four new trees during this covid pandemic.
Repurposed
Although I enjoy trying other styles of painting, today I repurposed my work from yesterday into a journal.
Made a totally cute journal!
Art journal with blank pages, bound with jute. I’m going to list this in my Etsy shop:
Paint like “…….”
Steal like an artist
Be inspired by someone else
Go ahead, copy.
Art Prescription: I’m big on copyright and would never try to sell a painting I painted in another artist’s style.
And as the book with that title, “Steal like an artist,” says, it’s okay to be inspired by other’s work.
Think about the great Impressionists.
So I’ve been looking at a few artists who do abstract acrylics, and here’s my take:
And Still
And still garden grows
Vines wrap their way towards the sun
Trees full canopy..
Art Prescription: With all that’s going on in the world, I’d like to offer up a moment of peace.
Sumi-ink and watercolor:
Blessed
The world is a bit overwhelming. This is a post of gratitude. My life is very blessed. I’m grateful for each day, my health, my friends and neighbors. My husband.
My animals…
Weeding
Reach for and pull weed
Hundreds more wait, roots sunkin
Teaspoon in ocean.
Art Prescription: Like weeds, opinions are rooted. I’m feeling like humanity is dipping into a sea with a teaspoon.
Be gentle dear humans, for we all seek the light.
Art Journal:
Proverb
I feel I don’t need to add to this Turkish proverb.
Paper, wall-paper, stamps, fabric, washi tape, stitched:
Freshly Cut
Roses, shades of pink
Fleshy, velvety petals
Just now, freshly cut.
Art Prescription: Heading towards summer and joyful flower cutting from my garden.
A loosely painted watercolor…shades of pink:
Building Blocks
Roof without cover
Garden with freshly tilled soil
Plans for the future.
Art Prescription: All projects start with plans. As you build, you reassess each angle. Measure twice, cut once.
I’ve just listed my next Stitch Kit!
