Beautiful Morning August 25,2013

I wish I could put

A morning like this in a

Box, save forever!

Art Prescription:  A perfect morning and day…the reason people move to NC. Cool to walk and comfortable to work in garden. I actually did some very productive puttering. I’ve had my years of Bon Appetite magazines in the garage to go through and get my favorite recipes. I know it’s irrational as everything is online, but somehow those actual magazines represent a part of my life. I’m trying to practice letting-go…

Outdoor sculpture show

Metal works for the garden!

Hummer with fork wings!

Art Prescription:  Chapel Hill and Carrboro North Carolina are rich with talented artists! It’s always fun to see art done in a completely different medium! We bought several pieces for our garden and for gifts!

Time is a Thief August 23, 2013

Evaporation

Into thin air! Where’s summer?

Time, she is a thief!

Art Prescription:  Anyone else feeling like you blinked your eyes and time has moved on? Perhaps this is one of the healing effects of art. You make a mark, there you have left evidence of your precious life!  Art moves us…

August Rain August 21, 2013

Ah, cool August rain

Comes in on heals of thunder

Leaves air fresh and cool!

Art Prescription:  This morning outdoors was a sauna. I was taking photos of new art, and the heat felt like a wet blanket. After a good rain, the air felt much cooler…went for a nice walk.

peace

Art Prescription August 18, 2013 Splatter

Splatter therapy

Large canvas, freedom to play

Real? or under art?

Art Prescription:  What started out as a tree painting on a big canvas – 5 ft tall – became an expression of loose brush-strokes and spattering…so therapeutic!! I will return to this tomorrow to paint a “proper” tree, but for now, ahhhhhh…cheaper than counseling and oh!! the color!!
