Outdoor sculpture show
Metal works for the garden!
Hummer with fork wings!
Art Prescription: Chapel Hill and Carrboro North Carolina are rich with talented artists! It’s always fun to see art done in a completely different medium! We bought several pieces for our garden and for gifts!
White moon, pale blue sky
Trees still, early morning dew
The night-shift heads home.
Art Prescription: Seeing the sun rise and the moon set is a treat!
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.
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.
Serenity now
Seasons change and so do I
Courage to move on!
Art Prescription: Is change knocking at your door? Poets and writers alike have long written about the changing of the seasons. Do the subtle changes speak to you? Do you notice? It takes courage to look at the truth.
In kitchen with friends
Everyone adds their true touch
Celebration…life!
Art Prescription: Cooking with friends is a joy!!
Chickadee morning
Cheerful chirpers bid good day
Hop from branch to branch.
Art Prescription: It’s the small things that count…good morning winged creatures!
Inspirational
Art done on an index card
Meant to share with love.
Art Prescription: Among the field of miniature art, there are Artist Trading Cards and Index Card Art. I’ve done a few Index Card pieces with the idea to share with others. Slip a little art into your partner’s lunch, or your kid’s…surprise a co-worker with some art for her desk, stick a little inspiration in the card to your mom…Everyone needs a little inspiration!
Nature mandala
A meditation on blooms
Daisy and cosmos!
Art Prescription: I saw this idea on http://girlunwinding.wordpress.com/2013/08/12/mandala-monday-stacks/ and couldn’t wait to try it! Such a beautiful way to make mandala art. Thank you girl unwinding!
Life in the fast lane
Most will miss the show with speed
While grass does ballet.
Art Prescription: Today’s photograph was captured by Susan Carver Williams. Susan is a photojournalist. She meanders about the back roads of Eastern Tennessee, she calls them her “Sunday Drives,” with a sharp eye that captures the essence of this place she calls home. I’m always thrilled to see one of her posts. I sit back and take a drive with her, seeing through her lens the rolling beauty of Tennessee. Susan says,
” I rarely know where I’m heading when I leave the house with my camera. I just pick a random direction and look for whatever catches my attention and/or a road I’ve never turned down. I’ve been temporarily lost a few times on these photographic adventures, but never disappointed. There’s always something that makes the turn and the miles worthwhile. Some days I’ve inadvertently spent 5-6 hours in the car, driving as slowly as traffic will allow (which is why I love backroads), stopping on a dime or turning around and backtracking, just seeing where the next turn takes me. Bev, my drive-abouts with the camera are MY Art Prescription.”
What captured my attention with this image is the metaphorical view of the highway and the lovely grass and wildflowers growing on the shoulder. I’m glad Susan drives “as slowly as traffic with allow.” Otherwise we might have missed the Grass Ballet! Thank you Susan for sharing your work on the Art Prescription!
