A twister of leaves
Swirls up the street, red and gold
Comes to rest on curb.
Art Prescription: The wind does a dance with leaves.

Evening Light October 22, 2013
Fall evening light
Ethereal pink glow, as
Clouds reflect sunset.
Art Prescription: Even on a cloudy day there is color!
New Way October 16, 2013
The cycle of life
Be open to a new way
Breath, shift, move forward.
Art Prescription: One constant in life is that everything changes.
Vision Journal October 14, 2013
He courts her with worm
They mate for life, cardinals.
Year-round backyard birds!
Art Prescription: I taught an Art Prescription Workshop today, Fabulous You! I asked my group to paint in their journals what they want more of in their lives. What does YES look like? We started off with random watercolor brush-strokes and washes, and then we moved to imagery. It always inspires me to see the art that happens when people give themselves permission to play. Here is my vision page:
Edge of Fall October 12, 2013
Cool and steady mist
Partly cloudy for days now
On the edge of fall.
Art Prescription: Each day the trees have a bit more color. Nature patiently puts on her fall wardrobe.
Sentinels of Life: Trees October, 8, 2013
Shade and oxygen
Year round seasonal beauty
The grandeur of trees!
Art Prescription: Working on this pair…wondering if I want to add reds and orange and make it a fall scene…or leave as is??
Haiku September 8, 2013 Alone, but not Lonely
Glad the birds don’t leave
As summer’s heat fades, my friends
With wings stay around!
Art Prescription: If you follow my blog, you know I’m having trouble letting summer go…the sun, the blooms, the abundance of flowers! I will adjust. I also love fall and the rainbow of color that explodes on trees! Does the season change invoke the explorer in you?
August Rain August 21, 2013
Ah, cool August rain
Comes in on heals of thunder
Leaves air fresh and cool!
Art Prescription: This morning outdoors was a sauna. I was taking photos of new art, and the heat felt like a wet blanket. After a good rain, the air felt much cooler…went for a nice walk.
Art Prescription August 20, 2013 Flowers Wane
Quiet except crunch
Of early fallen brown leaves
Flowers start to wane.
Art Prescription: I’m noticing now on my walks there are scattered fallen leaves on the path…fall starts her subtle nuance.
Art Prescription August 18, 2013 Splatter
Splatter therapy
Large canvas, freedom to play
Real? or under art?
Art Prescription: What started out as a tree painting on a big canvas – 5 ft tall – became an expression of loose brush-strokes and spattering…so therapeutic!! I will return to this tomorrow to paint a “proper” tree, but for now, ahhhhhh…cheaper than counseling and oh!! the color!!
