Feel content at home
Life’s ambitions surround me
Art, books, and journals.
Art Prescription: Your home tells a story about you. When you look around you should feel cozy and welcome and comforted by the things you have collected. A garden in bloom is a chapter of dirty hands and blissful spirit!
Hail and farewell time
People move on, new ones come
Life is constant change.
Like a teddy bear
Cat creeps up between my arms
Whiskers tickle face.
Art Prescription: Soft velvet ears and a love to be petted defines my cats. There is always someone to cuddle with. A simple pleasure is to lie down for a mid-day rest and have a furry being join you. Mind-you there is no sleep involved, because petting and/or marching on pillows is in high order. Just the same it’s wonderful!!
Backyard pen and ink
Hummingbirds fly by as I
Capture a moment.
Art Prescription: I love sketching in my garden!! Simply, sit, watch, sketch with pen and ink. Sometimes when you just sit still nature will come to you. I always wish, oh! need my camera…and then remind myself to just be in the moment.
Right where you belong
Are you? Each day a new chance
Possibilities!
Art Prescription: Do you wake up in the morning and feel a big, long, day is ahead of you with many possibilities? When I write in my journal at bedtime, sometimes I’m amazed at all that goes on in one day…and I like it like that!
Comfort zone, structure
Rules to live by, rituals.
One step out, now LIVE!
Art Prescription: I’m guilty of being ritualistic, creature of habit. Worse with age, oh dear!! BUT, the thing I love most about watercolor is it’s ability to not be controlled. The medium itself, allows me to smear, splatter, wash, blend, and just watch the magic of what happens on the page. Art journaling is the perfect place to step outside your comfort zone!!
White gardenia
Like a bouquet of fine wine
Complex, delicate.
Art Prescription: In celebration of Summer Solstice!! Backyard joy!
In just one second
Life can change, a new pathway
New growth and new skills!
Art Prescription: Life is an ongoing learning curve where we learn to adjust our sails!! You are stronger than you think you are!!
Big, red, ripe, juicy
Fresh produce, farm to market
Tomato sandwich!
Art Prescription: Summer means juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes. I know there is a lot of argument out there with how to appropriately build a tomato sandwich. Some are strictly BLT advocates…and yes this is a good option. Others say mayonnaise is the essential makings of a tomato sandwich. Me. I’m a purist. Just a freshly sliced tomato on bread and I can taste the sun.
Cozy studio
Steady rain pelts roof, trees sway
A moment…deep sigh.
Art Prescription: Watching the rain fall, while I’m cozy and dry inside my studio is very peaceful. It’s the place where my dreams get to play!
