A lost art, writing?

Posting a card or letter

By horse-back or air.

Art Prescription: Who doesn’t love to get a hand-written note in the mail? Years from now will this be a lost art?

Index cards with collage and colored pencil:

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.

Monarch Fuel October 10, 2014

Lantana, fuel up

Monarchs begin their south bound

Journey, Mexico.

Art Prescription:  It’s heartening to see monarchs!! Perhaps the conservationEnvelope art monarch.jpg efforts to help them on their journey to Mexico is paying off. Several friends are seeing them in their gardens too!! Pen and ink and colored pencil on an envelope, with a few stamps!! Fun…

New Direction September 25, 2014

Through open windows

Comes fall and winds of new path

Trees let go with ease.

Art Prescription:  Are you wresting with letting go of something? Nature’s lesson this season is to let go and rest with full courage that new growth is next.  Collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil on an envelope. I thought about using pieces of the envelope in a collage, and then I thought why not just do art on the envelope!!
