I feel I don’t need to add to this Turkish proverb.
Paper, wall-paper, stamps, fabric, washi tape, stitched:
Proverb
expressive painting
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!
Introducing: Wren
Wren
Carolina Wrens
And House Wrens sound out vocals
Big songs, little birds.
Art Prescription: Wrens are one of my favorites. I love their ducking gestures.
This is going to be my fourth Stitch Kit! Super excited to launch:
Basho
“If you’re an oak
You don’t pretend
You are a flower.“

Crowded Trails
Guess everyone is in need of getting outside.
Our usual quiet trail that leads to the back waters of Jorden Lake was packed with bikers, joggers, and walkers.
Sam got a few nice photos of Red-headed Woodpeckers.
Not sure what these will be…Maybe secret art drops…
In the Studio
Steady, cold, wet, rain
Tree limbs bow low, water logged
Warm, dry, studio
Art Prescription: About froze at the barn this morning. Finn was soaked.
Home to dry clothes and worked on Ramses paintings for an order.
What Day Is It
Sun shines through window
Wake… what day is it…hello
Coffee is ready.
Art Prescription: Anyone else feeling disoriented? Without a schedule? What day is it?
Early walk at Mason Farm. Saw a Fly Catcher.

Fairy Hunting
Fairy purveyors
A skill to be developed
Journal for records.
Art Prescription: If you aren’t keeping a fairy journal during these times, then you are missing out on magic.
Serious fairy hunters know keeping records is a must. Fairies are of course mysterious.
Local fairies have provided journals for those on the look out for all good among all people.
Personal
Don’t take personal
Words or actions from others
It’s their perspective.
Art Prescription: So often we allow the words of others bother us. Usually it’s all about them…
