Luminary night
Silent streets lined with candles
Holiday season!
Art Prescription: Our neighborhood does an annual luminary night. A chance for everyone to celebrate their holiday of choice, and come together as one to light the streets with candles. It’s serenely beautiful!
Winter frost glistens
Shiny silver frozen dew
A white coverlet!
Art Prescription: Heavy freeze overnight. The lawn almost looked like snow, so thick with frost. Yep, it’s winter. What attracts your muse in the winter? Share with us!
Winter shadows dance
Cool silhouettes under sky
Periwinkle blue.
Art Prescription: Warm color, cool color…Winter shadows are definitely cool. Switch it up on life’s canvas for a winter mood!
Sliver of a moon
Sneaks in and out behind clouds
Lights my way back home.
Art Prescription: Enough said!!
Childhood laughter soars
Neighbors out in fall perfect
Leaves rehearse for show!
Art Prescription: As I took my afternoon walk, my neighborhood was lively with kids and families out enjoying this mild NC fall weather. Big blue sky, perhaps need a sweat-shirt. I painted with my studio door open…much to show later. Get out there while the weather is perfect for sketching or painting outside!
Delicamente
A song for long precious life.
Holidays are here!
Art Prescription: The iconoclastic pumpkin is…simply beautiful. I’ve painted, so far, three different variations of the pumpkin and will share in future blogs. I’m busy cutting rice paper leaves for the UNC Hospital Remembering Tree and had lots of small pieces of paper left over. Always a fan of trying a new technique, I made a tiny collage.
No kissing allowed
He leaves, I feel forgotten
Colds are not sexy!!!!!
Art Prescription: I’m writing with a box of tissue on hand. Do you remember your first kiss? A simple cold would not keep me from attempting to share my germs with my 7th grade boyfriend. All things change. After 21 years of marriage, here I am almost 2 1/5 weeks in the guest room. The first week was me trying to not get my beloved’s cold. The next week, allowing him to sleep without waking to my persistent cough. Ain’t marriage grand!! Can I get a kiss hello? A hug?
Great Grandmother’s quilt
Offers warmth as degrees drop
Stitch by stitch with love.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky to have about five quilts made by my ancestors. Both my mom’s mother and my dad’s parents quilted, and this is back in the day where it was all done by hand! I remember my grandmother’s living room being transformed into a quilting bee as the furniture was moved back, the quilt racks went up, and she and my aunt would sit and sew for hours. Today I did a watercolor sketch of a section of quilt just for fun. Look around your house to find inspiration!
B is for baby
Soft new skin, tiny hands, feet
Hello world I’m here!
Art Prescription: A best friend of mine is expecting a baby very soon. I have her on my mind daily! She is meant to be a mother. Just a little haiku to send her way!!!
Path, purpose, life force
Resilience, forward track
Find the it right now.
Art Prescription: Picked my “Backyard Bouquet” painting up today from the framer. Makes me so happy!! Everything in life needs a frame!
