Small and lite they glide
Through the air on wings as small
As acorns, hummers!
Art Prescription: I went to a nature journaling workshop today and one of the exercises was to write about hummingbirds. Fun to learn some new techniques for nature journaling.
Winter’s hand plays deal
Cold spreads, coat and hat required
Spring at finger-tips!
Art Prescription: Although my walk today was in a wintery mist, I know spring is coming! The signs of spring lift my spirits.
Wheels drop, plane descends
Like cows going to the barn
We all rush for home!
Art Prescription: “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Nice to visit! Rich to be home! A sketchbook is the perfect remedy for a delayed flight…
Yellow flowers, bride
Eyes meet, glow. Two become one
Family, friends, joy!
Art Prescription: Went to a Wednesday Wedding. Bride beautiful…personality glowing all over touches of the wedding. Charming!
Gallery of art
Right there in Walgreens, greetings
For all occasions.
Art Prescription: Next time you need a special greeting card, spend a little extra time to admire all the wonderful art and photography. Find one you love and frame it! Or gift a frame with the cards.
Where ever you go
There you most certainly are
Key is to fit in.
Art Prescription: I guess the theme this week is uniqueness. A key to life, however, seems to be to be able to fit in where you are. To blend, be a good listener, and hope people around you feel heard, acknowledged, and at ease.
Alone, not lonely
Quiet time spent with my own
Imagination.
Art Prescription: There are those of us who love a party, lots of people, loud music, a hoping good time. And there are those of us who love quiet walks in the woods, lots of birds, sounds of nature, and creative solitude. No judgement here. Just be who you are and hope the world will honor that!
Capture pure essence
With a simple line, gesture
Sketch a piece of life.
Art Prescription: I love drawing quick pen and ink sketches of my cats! Keep a sketchbook handy and try capturing some moments of your day…a piece of fruit, a pet, birds at feeder, just keep your hand moving across the page! You can capture a lot with a few lines!
Sit in pure stillness
Disconnect from busy world
Notice something new.
Art Prescription: On my bus rides to and from my RN job just about every person has their nose to their smart-phones. No one is looking out the window to see the lovely flock of robins, or the way the light reflects off the buildings, or the simple beauty of a sunset. No wonder depression is on the rise! I feel like a Florence Nightingale of the 2000’s. I think everyone needs fresh air, exercise, and nature… Give yourself a Valentine…
Each day a new chance
Full of possibilities
Go! Embrace your goals!
Art Prescription: Perhaps spring is a better time to make resolutions. The days are getting longer, and the promise of new growth is inspiring! Hug your Valentine!
