A palpable wave
It’s not what you expected
And not yours to hold.
Art Prescription: Each tree lets go of their leaves in their own time. And so even though the universe says, “there is enough for everyone,” they hold onto each leaf until they are ready.
Index card with graphite and my chop “hope”
Is it real or fluff?
Cotton- ball clouds full of steam
Sunset pulls from sky.
Art Prescription: How much of what people tell you is their ego building up fluff? Humans…such an odd bunch. All trying to reach some imaginary high! Ever cloud watch? Imagine what you see? We all want to see what we want to see. The reality our life has led us to. Are you living real or are you living fluff? The same sun and moon hang in all our skies. Peace-out!
Fragile ego sits
Paints for two hours, color!
Smiles, pride takes over.
Art Prescription: I taught an Art Prescription workshop today at UNC Wellness Center. I took in a big beautiful flower arrangement for them to work from. A tall order for most people who say “I can’t even draw a stick figure.” The medicine of the Art Prescription is to help participants be in the moment, respond to the paper and paint, let go of the inner critic, and just express! I started by giving a demonstration of blocking in colors, and the second part was to do some pen and ink to give the suggestion of movement and shape. I could see the looks of fear on their faces as I read a couple of opening poems. By the end of our two hours together everyone was on to their second painting. Amazing what adults will do if just given the permission to play!!
