I am listening
To the winter wind, trees sway
Year end moves forward.
Art Prescription: Winter is upon us…into the 20’s tonight. How grateful I am to have a warm house and heat that comes on at a moments touch. Blankets and quilts and fluffy robes…truly the riches of the holidays.
Index card
Cold, wet, steady rain
I peer into the warm stall
After the vet check.
Art Prescription: Vet day at the farm. Thank goodness for kind, smart animal caregivers. They are a gift. Felt like a mom with her child getting first vaccinations. True to my own medicine…art therapy.
3 x 5 index card
Life is sharps and flats
A symphony by design
The high’s and the low’s.
Art Prescription: Life is a ride…take the high note as often as possible!
Art Journal:
Open studio
Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!
Art Prescription: Today was a cold, wet, rainy day! And my friends and neighbors still came out to celebrate my open studio with me. Thanks y’all!! For those of you who live a little far off…
Dried hydrangeas
Their season of glory done
Form, “Damn near perfect.”
Art Prescription: I found out today that one of my favorite patients passed away. I just want to honor him here. He was a delightful person, and every time anyone asked him how he was his response was, “damn near perfect.” I sure hope he has a “damn near perfect” journey to the other side.
Under bright moonlight
I take a breath of pure joy
For all that is…life.
Art Prescription: While a friend came to help me take an objective look at my open studio set-up, she noticed my cut butterflies for Art Prescription Kits. She has a family member who is unwell, and she wants to send a butterfly every few days as a word of encouragement, sign of support. I’m so pleased to provide some pretty butterflies for this act from the heart.
Clean up on aisle one
Tangerines, nuts, memories
Holiday meltdown.
Art Prescription: So I had a meltdown at the Harris Teeter today…dang Christmas music. I went to shop for my Thanksgiving dressing and all of a sudden, right there in the fresh produce section, big tear streamed down my face. What? Get it together. Went to the bathroom…and then again shopping for rice…and nuts…My sweet husband came to my rescue.
I sure do miss all the people that I miss…and this Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for!!
Art Journal page:
Clouds roll in, cold front
Drafts of air take leaf remains
I dream of poppies.
Art Prescription: Rainy cold day. Good thing the imagination can take you away!
Watercolor 8 1/2 x 11 with pen and ink
Almost November
First snow expected to west
Red Gerbers still bloom.
Art Prescription: A cold front is moving in. To the west of us snow is predicted. My Gerber Daisies are still in full bloom. Here is another IKAT design in watercolor.
Down the hill they go
Skateboards! choreographed speed
Practice makes perfect.
Art Prescription: Two teen boys in my neighborhood have been practicing for a couple of days now going down and around on a hilly path. Muddy from crashing, they giggle and try again. Just two boys and their wheels…no thought of the past or the future…just the now.
