Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
Perspective lesson
Things look different with time
With a brand new lens.
Art Prescription: Sometimes you just need to look at things in a new way…
Scars, blemishes, wounds
We all have them, our chapters,
Like trees we grow up
Art Prescription: Here is a total stress relieving piece. Colored pencil scribbled on a 3 x 5 index card. It’s really all about the process, not the end picture. Ahhhh….feel better now.
Steady streams of leaves
Twirl to ground, still warm fall air
Autumn’s subtle move.
Art Prescription: Warm day, but Autumn sneaks in.
Curled in saw-dust pile
The barn cat nests in horse stall
Morning nap on farm!
Art Prescription: All the senses are awake at the farm. So much beauty to take in. Today I was particularly fond of seeing the barn cat rule. So at ease, so gentle, so, well, safe. I am working on ease…
To trust in your muse
Step aside for a new voice
Completely let go!!
Art Prescription: I had a great group today in my Art Prescription: Art Journaling Workshop. I asked them to do something really hard. Put together a collage of beautiful images, and then completely paint over it!! I have to say there was reluctance. I gently prodded, and even encouraged one participant to retrieve her “trashed” painting and stick with the transition. So many life metaphors. The theme was Wholeness, and I wanted them to work through creating something and then let go of the original piece, transition it to something brand new, healing. Their end products were amazing!! and suddenly they saw that their muse was there all along!!
Clarity… moment
Heart pulls, body answers, go
Follow your heart strings!!
Art Prescription: Ever stand staring out a window…feeling pulled to do something, go somewhere, answer the heart? What if it’s chasing an owl?
Step out into mist
Minds awake and attentive
Spirit taps shoulder.
Art Prescription: Ever feel a nudging, a longing, an urge…tapping at your shoulder? Don’t shrug it off. Ask !!
Put it on paper.
Dreams, aspirations, fears, hopes.
Now color it in!!
Art Prescription: I had the most delightful group today in my Art Prescription Workshop!! Focus today was on “what do we want more of in our lives?”
