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.
September road tour
Bus leaves summer, next stop fall
Bags packed with color.
Art Prescription: Is the bus going to leave without you? Kicking and screaming…summer’s not over!!! I love the change of season. Another miniature piece. Artist trading card size.
Start here, end up there
Brain thinks, spirit takes over
Expressive painting!!
Art Prescription: Sometimes the best thing is to take brush and paint to paper!! You may not be creating a work of art. You may be doing your body, mind, and spirit some good by just letting go. Expressive painting increases your immune system. Now go…and let.
Grey, cold, and rainy
Gravity takes over now
A good winter rest.
Art Prescription: Set out to my studio to paint a colorful spring forest. Reality took over and I painted what I was feeling…really feeling.
One painting, three moods
Pale shy, young. Sultry, dark, plum
Gone too far, vintage.
Art Prescription: Sometimes nothing feels exactly right…
Steam rises from grass
Morning sun begins her thaw
Frost sparkles, glitter.
Art Prescription: Really fun studio time with friends doing watercolor background effects!
Got holiday blues?
Cope with creativity!
Draw, paint, write, journal!
Art Prescription: As the year comes to close I come full circle with the intention of the Art Prescription. Creativity is healing. Making art boosts your feel good hormones and makes your immune system stronger. So…while you are making your new years resolution list…add something creative, like keeping a daily journal. Go ahead. Buy something pretty and just start! It will do your spirit good!
A rose is a rose
And how you view it is art!
Speak your own true voice!
Art Prescription: One of my favorite things about art is the experience of people taking a subject and making it true to their spirit. While working on watercolor roses today, my friend Farley Bernholz, took it to a whole new level. Go Farley! Now this is expressive!!!
Plan, to paint cosmos
Muse intervened, coneflower
Plein air painting, joy!
Art Prescription: All set up outside with my paint and easel. Hat and sunscreen, check, I set out to paint my explosion of cosmos. Stroked and splattered with teals and yellow. Decided I would add a few cone flowers for the background, and then the muse just ruled. Perhaps tomorrow I will paint cosmos!
