Reflection December 15, 2014
Like a sheet of ice
The pond reflects cool blue sky
Wispy rows of clouds.
Art Prescription: Like a still pond, our art reflects what we are feeling inside. This is why it is so important to just express yourself with art!! No judgement about whether it is “good” or not. Just get it out in color, brush-strokes, or collage.
Mixed media expressive painting.
Candle Lit Street December 13, 2014
Four seconds to flame
Neighbors come out, winter night
Streets lined with candles.
Art Prescription: I’ve been heading up luminaries for our neighborhood for about 8 years. The thing that always brings me joy is to see neighbors coming out and working together as a community to create a beautiful winter night.
Thank you to my local followers for coming to my Open Studio!!

Open Studio 2014 December 6, 2014
Open studio
Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!

Moon Shine December 3, 2014
Under bright moonlight
I take a breath of pure joy
For all that is…life.
Art Prescription: While a friend came to help me take an objective look at my open studio set-up, she noticed my cut butterflies for Art Prescription Kits. She has a family member who is unwell, and she wants to send a butterfly every few days as a word of encouragement, sign of support. I’m so pleased to provide some pretty butterflies for this act from the heart.

Clouds Roll November 17, 2014
