Busy hospital
Lady in pink does Tai Chi
People linger, gaze.
Art Prescription: It seems hospitals have become like malls. Busy, people everywhere, employees, patients, and families going for lunch. The lady in pink doing Tai Chi caught my eye. I stopped and watched her graceful movements. Watercolor pencil sketchbook…
The ordinary
And then there are sweet moments
I’ll only have one!!
Art Prescription: A patient brought this in to us. Well. It’s polite to show appreciation!! Worth every single sweet calorie…yes I chose the one all chocolate!
Through long green grass fields
Into the woods, by cows, geese,
Trail ride perfection!
Art Prescription: Spring experienced on the back of a horse is bliss. Look down and see wildflowers at their feet. Watch their ears and eyes as they take it all in. You are on their back and they carry you with each step, mutual trust!
Color theory play
Warm, cool, saturation, hue
Fifty shades of pink.
Art Prescription: Played with color mixing today. Start with 3 primary colors and see how many other colors you can mix. Watercolor journal.
Rue anemones
Keep violets company
By the rolling creek.
Art Prescription: Sam and I found a new place to hike today. A wooded trail by a creek with wildflowers everywhere. Really magical. We meandered through pine and hard-wood forests and across open meadows.
Grandma’s hand-sewn quilt
Cold and rainy April day
Three cats, one hubby.
Art Prescription: Today was a day for cuddling. I’m blessed to have many hand-made quilts. Both sets of grandparents were quilters, so after a busy week the Dyer family all piled into bed under one and took a nap…bliss! Watercolor sketch on a 3 x 5 index card.
Out of the cocoon
She unfolds her brand new wings
And takes her first flight.
Art Prescription: Something to aim for…
All shades of purple
Tiny orchid-like blossoms
Ajuga carpet.
Art Prescription: For a short while we have a purple carpet in our flower beds. Ajuga! It’s purpleliscious! Up close it has details like a fragile orchid. Take a closer look…
Sole bareback beauty
Canters across fresh green field
She is one with horse.
Art Prescription: To watch a young lady ride bareback with complete composure is a joy. She makes it look so simple. Truth is she is in awe of this horse and with mad skills the horse knows. So impressive. Beautiful.
Rise up out of leaves
Delicate Quaker Ladies
April in the woods.
Art Prescription: I rode my bike over to a patch of woods near my house. Lots of Quaker Ladies blooming, also known as Bluets. They are such cheerful little flowers!!
