Haiku November 20, 2012 Solitude

Alone, not lonely

Shear peacefulness, quiet bliss

Hear your own footsteps!

Art Prescription:  Do you enjoy being alone? I do. Even more so when the world is whirling away at the speed of light. I love it so quiet that the only thing I hear are the squirrels chattering, the birds chirping, and the crunch of leaves under each step! and the swish of my paint brush!

June 13, 2012 Fresh Paint

Brush and roll fresh paint

A room takes on new color

Changes atmosphere.

Art Prescription:  My final day off before returning to my RN job I decided to do some painting…not what you might expect. I decided to paint the walls of my guest bathroom! Picked out a beautiful new shower curtain with purples and greys. Painted the room with a blue-green to compliment the purple. It’s nice to have a change in the feeling of a room. Color is an amazing element. With the swipe of a paint brush, you can change the entire mood of your environment. A little manual labor and viola! new room!
