I’m cosmocentric
Seeking joy in the moment
Enlightened by now.
Art Prescription: Full day switching hats, nurse, artist, cat-mom, card-packaging-staff. Getting off some orders for stationery. When days are so busy it’s easy to get caught in the just-get-it-done attitude, versus the look-at-the-beauty-all-around attitude. We only have the now, seek the joy!
It never ceases to amaze me what happens when you get a group of people together to create art. I lead an Art Prescription event today at the UNC Wellness Center in Chapel Hill, NC. My goal is always to give lots of painting time, along with some facts and inspiration about how and why art benefits our health.
Today’s group jumped right in! It seemed a muse was unleashed in the room! They painted like crazy filling multiple sheets with expressive and colorful creations. There was laughter and sharing and for me the joy of seeing folks having fun while doing magic for their mental and physical well-being.
Thanks to all who came!
Riotous flowers
Think poppy, peoni, rose
Timeless, ageless, bold!
Art Prescription: Walked Old Mason Farm today. Saw Spring Beauty and Violas, dainty wildflowers asking to be noticed. I like to go back and forth between dainty and bold. Always notice and try something new…
Soaring, floating high
On air currents glide winged friends
Above my safe home.
Art Prescription: I’m working on a house portrait for a gift. Our dear neighbors are moving. Painting their house is bittersweet…we will miss them dearly. They are moving to be with their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild! Life coming full circle. With each stroke of my paint brush I bid them well. Art is a great way to work through life changes.
