Hot bubblegum pink
Petunias spill outward
Wave to butterflies.
Art Prescription: This started as a watercolor pencil sketch in my garden on mixed-media paper. Then I took it into my studio and washed it down with water. I added watercolor loosely over pencil strokes and then spattered a bit! FUN!
Fashion and beauty
Your external expression
Does not define you.
Art Prescription: Long, lived day. Woke early, coffee (Facebook, yep), walk, swim, read, and then went to Scrap Exchange. This place is plundering heaven…junk galore…paper extravagansa.
Great finds for art journaling! I bought a $3.00 bag of mixed papers and found lots of vintage patterns.
Body moves in time
Her white hips sway and sashay
By the lush corn field.
Art Prescription: A majestic trail ride this morning with Lacey! I felt we moved as one through the wooded path and around tall, lush corn stalks. Except, she cheated and took a bite out of one…don’t tale!
July is fading
Perfect sunny summer days
Crickets hum, content.
Art Prescription: Two busy days at my RN job and doing a little art always gives me a lift. 3 x 5 index card art!
Looking and hoping
Wishing, expecting, dreaming
Life’s many milestones.
Art Prescription: Life is a series of milestones…pregnant, new baby, preschool, kindergarden, high school graduation, college graduation, engagement, marriage….Celebrate!
Rejuvenation
A place to go to deep breath
Regroup, rest, do art.
Art Prescription: My assignment from a customer, spa art, has me day-dreaming about such a place. Waterfalls, massages, long walks in nature, time to contemplate, inspired art…Wanna go?
Here is how my piece from yesterday turned out.
Thick, humid July
Grey broody sky hangs heavy
Sly seasonal shift.
Art Prescription: Twas unusually quiet on my evening walk. Just a couple of frogs croaking and an occasional bird. I sense the season beginning to change. Spring and summer are petering out, and though we have many warm days ahead, there is a subtle change in the air.
This is a work in progress with many layers so far…not sure where it’s going…
Shelter from the storm
A brown card-board box offered
To a stray black cat.
Art Prescription: While I’m working and preparing to roll out my ideas for collage ephemera on Etsy, painting and cutting, and taking pictures, etc. Blackie, the local stray, occupies my mind. I’m feeding him and giving him some de-worm medicine. He sits cautiously at least 3 feet away. Meanwhile, I’m excited to offer some hand-painted collage pieces for art journaling and mixed media!
Sounds of the steel drums
Blast from a speaker on wheels
Time for ice-cream truck!
Art Prescription: Did you have an ice-cream truck come through your neighborhood in summer?
An artist’s tool box
Brushes, palette knives, scissors
A finger painting!
Art Prescription: Art Prescription group today in my studio. Our project was to start a painting, and then paint over it, and over it again. The process of letting go what was there before. And then finally to cut that painting up into pieces and see what emerges…stories, tales.
