Dream of June garden
Lost in the scent of flowers
Where butterflies fly.
Art Prescription: Played with mixed media on a YES canvas today. Laid acrylic paint down with a brayer, then added some collage and other marks. Then wrote in French, “Look for me in the garden, where butterflies fly and I’m lost in the flowers.”
Acrylic with collage and pen and ink
Sew what, open heart
You give and your heart feels warm
Does a body good.
Art Prescription: Never underestimate the power of giving of your time, your energy, your ear, your heart…someone out there needs you.
Mixed media with pen and ink, fabric, and improvisational sewing:
A paper bird’s nest
Nature journal style study
Tear, glue, draw, and paint.
Art Prescription: So fun to work spontaneously with my art buddies! As we talked, our hands moved and art was made.
8 x 8 mixed-media on paper
Fall wildflowers bloom
Dot the meadows and woods for
Butterflies to feed.
Art Prescription: Hiked Mason Farm this past weekend. Beautiful wildflowers and lots of butterflies. Feeds my muse.
Here is a little drawing for you to color! You can print it off and color with your favorite art tools! Secret…I’m working on a new Art Prescription (™) adult coloring product…due out October!
Index card with pen and ink:
Fabric from Paris
She flows with tide, girl with the
Yellow umbrella
Art Prescription: Girl on the beach take 3…or I lost count. Not satisfied with the final watercolor, again my colors muddy. So I paper collaged with torn pieces from other not so great watercolors. I kind of like the mixed media end product. A good example of how no work is ever wasted. I save every piece that should be filed in the trash. And weeks or months later I see that piece has the perfect color I need for a collage…let her rip!!
Watercolor background with torn paper:
My favorite curves
That of plants and blooms galore
Botanical gifts!
Art Prescription: Working off ICAD prompt botanic/organic. Inspired by mixed media with sewing!!
Index card with pen and ink, fabric, and sewing…
Certain slant of light
The ordinary thing turns
Magnificent whole.
Art Prescription: On any given day…at any given hour…things look different.
8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
Pioneer people
Trail blazers, carving a path
Into the future!
Art Prescription: Spent most of my day clearing a new path for horse-back riding! Beautiful day, and I can’t wait to bring Finn over to these beautiful woods.
Envelope art:
Aw-hee, caw, caw, caw
December sounds from the farm
Donkey, crow, blue-birds!
Art Prescription: I somehow spent my entire day at the farm. Even took a “nap” in the back of my van. So peaceful! Just the sunshine and sounds of the critters.
Envelope Art
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.
