Looking Forward 2014 December 31, 2013

I can see clearly

Through these rose colored glasses

And the scent…divine.

Art Prescription:  I think my theme for looking forward to a new year is all about roses! A few thoughts:

Rose Colored Glasses – Optimism and gratitude work!

A Bed of Roses – Seek comfort everyday…make your home your haven.

Everything is coming up roses – Expect the best…dream…and plan for them to come true.

Rose Scented Water – Yep, bathe in it!

A Rose is a Rose – Be authentic…be you!

Holiday Blues December 28, 2013

Got holiday blues?

Cope with creativity!

Draw, paint, write, journal!

Art Prescription:  As the year comes to close I come full circle with the intention of the Art Prescription. Creativity is healing. Making art boosts your feel good hormones and makes your immune system stronger. So…while you are making your new years resolution list…add something creative, like keeping a daily journal. Go ahead. Buy something pretty and just start! It will do your spirit good!

All is Calm December 26, 2013

Two thousand thirteen

Slips cooly out the back-door

All is calm and bright!

Art Prescription: For some the holiday season comes to a roaring halt, moms and dads exhausted, children over-stimulated and cranky, people wishing they were really HOME for the holidays. Okay, I’m not bah-humbug. I just think simple is better. Peace is good…

Christmas Past December 24, 2013

Same stars light the sky

For some it’s the last, some first

Christmas past, present.

Art Prescription:  Time is marked by events like Christmas Eve. As I gaze out at the big wide open sky, I think. These same stars were shining on my first Christmas Eve, and will shine on past my last. Humbling…Be true to yourself. Live in the present and seek joy everyday. Merry Christmas!silky white ornament
