Open window breeze
Brushes sleepy morning face
September fresh air!
Art Prescription: Woke to a light rain and cool temperatures. After I loaded the coffee and hit on, I opened the windows and inhaled deeply. Ahhhh!! Fresh, clean air! Fall is a season loaded with emotion. I find it beautiful and look forward to the crisp change. There is also a sense of melancholy that summer is over. “For everything there is a season.”
September roses
Late blooms announce season end
Time to rest, renew.
Art Prescription: Here in NC roses bloom sometimes into October. I know, we are lucky. I don’t have the heart to do the prescribed cut when my roses still have buds. But it is necessary. Parallel to life there is a time to grow and a time to rest. Fall signals nature to begin the journey to rest. We all need rest to renew…
Quiet day in thought
Back porch geraniums glow
Catch September light.
Art Prescription: As much as I love fall and the cooler weather, I will miss my colorful blooming garden. So I spent today capturing my back-porch geraniums with watercolor and ink. This technique allows for expressive brush work. I use a brush designed for Chinese brush painting, just one brush. I stroke in impressionistic shapes, let that dry, and then go back in with pen and ink for a hint of detail. I think this is my favorite way to paint!!
Waves beat against rocks.
Erosion changes shape, form.
Solid becomes sand.
Art Prescription: How do you feel about this haiku?
Time equals change, but do you see it as a loss, the rock is gone, or as something new and beautiful, The Grand Canyon!! Life, as with art, is all a matter of perspective.
Yellow sun rests while
Grey steady rain falls misting
Gracious thirsty green.
Art Prescription: Welcome to my new followers! I’m so glad you are here. Do you write haiku? If so email me and I’ll share.
A walk in a light rain reveals tulip and daffodil leaves peaking from the ground. Wrens and robins bouncing about. Fun to include that energy in art.
