Cat Nap September 28, 2014
Sunday, day of rest
A treat to get quiet, nap
Cat acupuncture!

Mocha, my tabby, will make biscuits for 30 minutes straight. Got a session of cat acupuncture and then up I went to the studio to play. 8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
Dairy Farm September 27, 2014
A place for ice-cream
Rolling country where cows graze
Big, tall, grain silos.
Art Prescription: Took my blanket, binoculars, and sketchbook out to the country today. Plopped myself on a hill over-looking a dairy farm. Meanwhile people wandered into the store for fresh and local ice-cream cones.
New Direction September 25, 2014
Through open windows
Comes fall and winds of new path
Trees let go with ease.
Art Prescription: Are you wresting with letting go of something? Nature’s lesson this season is to let go and rest with full courage that new growth is next. Collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil on an envelope. I thought about using pieces of the envelope in a collage, and then I thought why not just do art on the envelope!!

Scent of dried grass, blue birds dip
Catch insects mid-flight.
