No Censor July 5, 2016

Young innocent minds

Full of imagination

And without censor.

Art Prescription:  Watching children do art is magical. They face the blank page without fear, applying color at random as their little soul’s desire. So different too…each and every one of them.

Design June 19, 2016

Infinite design

The ultimate architect

Snowflake and flower.

Art Prescription: Seems the same perfect designs show up in all of nature’s creations. My wonderful neighbors brought me a bouquet of Bachelor’s Button. I did this study of a single flower.

Glad June 15, 2016

Glad is in the heart

On their sturdy dark-green stalks

Gladiolas beam.

Art Prescription:  Visited a dear friend to talk about life as we know it. Beside her porch is a lush garden of tall gladiolas. Glad to have good friends!!

Pyramids June 2, 2016

Architectural

Constructed of sun-baked bricks

Dwelling place for gods.

Art Prescription:  With this prompt, pyramids, I can only think of how ancient civilization really is. Humbling…
