Layers make a whole
Patience wins over hurry
Take your time, indulge.
Art Prescription: I’m as guilty as the next for trying to hurry-up and get to the next task…and in the mean-time, text a friend, look at Facebook, and check e-mail. We are such a culture of multitasking that it’s no wonder Attention Deficit Disorder is rampant. This afternoon I painted in my garden. For several hours I did nothing but take brush to paint to canvas. Sublime! This has some layers to go…
Crepe Myrtle stretches
Branches heavy with dense blooms
August ornaments!
Art Prescription: Have you ever looked really close at Crepe Myrtle blooms? They are delicate and complex…I should do a 10 x!!
Hot Vetiver bath
Nurtures skin, supports courage
Anchors the spirit.
Art Prescription: Another fully lived day painting in my garden. This time I set about to paint Cosmos and painted Cosmos. And a hot herb bath will ready me for my nursing job tomorrow…mind, body, and spirit!
Plan, to paint cosmos
Muse intervened, coneflower
Plein air painting, joy!
Art Prescription: All set up outside with my paint and easel. Hat and sunscreen, check, I set out to paint my explosion of cosmos. Stroked and splattered with teals and yellow. Decided I would add a few cone flowers for the background, and then the muse just ruled. Perhaps tomorrow I will paint cosmos!
Through the flower vase
The sun settles low. Night-time
Slinks in with the moon.
Art Prescription: Significant week in many ways…ready for night-time to slink in! A quick semi-abstract watercolor floral…art therapy for me!
Certain change in light
Early eve hum of crickets
Is almost August.
Art Prescription: Junk mail journal page!
Pure tropical gold
Fresh pineapple, sweet, tangy
Melts in your mouth good!
Art Prescription: Every time I buy and cut a fresh pineapple I am amazed at this luscious fruit. Fresh fruits and vegetables are perfect art studies that you can then EAT!
Wake-up juice, java
Rich, smooth morning enjoyment
Brown-gold coffee beans!
Art Prescription: It is really the small things! Pen and ink sketch-doodle…
Warm velvet soft nose
Smell of fresh hay and cut grass
Afternoon horse barn.
Art Prescription: There is just something about being around horses. Their warm brown eyes and soft ears, majestic musculature, swishy tails, the smell of leather, and a historic relationship. We’ve long been bound to these creatures.
Busy, busy, bees
Yo-yo over red bee balm
Fill up on the sweet.
Art Prescription: Idyllic July day. Spent most of it outside admiring my garden and then walked over to the North Carolina Botanical Garden. The abundance of flowers is intoxicating.
