We have the right now
And we have past memories
Construct, who we are.
Art Prescription: I do seek to live in the present. I seek gratitude for each day.
At night my dreams dig up the past and make me aware that life has many layers.
Art Journal:
Worse before better
A mound of things from closet
Trash, save, or Goodwill.
Art Prescription: Organizing sure does sooth nerves. At first not so much, as you pull everything out of the closet.
Going in deep now. Just how many gift bags are in there?
Running a business from home has challenges… one is organizing.
Just shipped this custom painting:
What you are seeking is waiting for you.
Rumi
Our souls in our human bodies always seek peace. You can’t get there from here, so to speak… You have to do the work. You can’t cover a hole with air.
New hand-bound art journal made with an original painting, vintage wallpaper, and brown shipping paper. What fun! One of a kind. Will list on Etsy.
Cool and rainy June
Pitter-patter, rain on roof
Studio lights warm.
Art Prescription: I actually love this kind of day. So cozy in my studio with doors flung open to watch birds at the feeder.
I’m working on a commission:
Yesterday’s painting makes a great cover for a new art journal!
Walk slow
Look above
Embrace life.
Art Prescription: journal page with collage and stitching.
White Gardenias
Sweet perfume in the garden
Petals velvet soft
Art Prescription: The scent of gardenias is unmatched. Their sweet perfume will follow you around the garden.
I did a simple pen and ink sketch on blue card stock…. just the basics, soothing.
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.
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:
