Comfort zone, structure
Rules to live by, rituals.
One step out, now LIVE!
Art Prescription: I’m guilty of being ritualistic, creature of habit. Worse with age, oh dear!! BUT, the thing I love most about watercolor is it’s ability to not be controlled. The medium itself, allows me to smear, splatter, wash, blend, and just watch the magic of what happens on the page. Art journaling is the perfect place to step outside your comfort zone!!
Hello Cosmo bloom
First to bust out, clouds grace sky
Pink Impatiens too!
Art Prescription: Lots of rain, lots of blooms.
Calm after the storm
Sticks and branches litter street
All connections down.
Art Prescription: Quiet after last evenings storm. No television, and no internet…kind-of nice.
The spiral of life
Layers of experience
Forms the whole one you!
Art Prescription: Our experiences and genetics make up who we are and how we perceive the world around us. Relationships and communication are much more complicated than we think. Best we can do is to try and love each other through it all…
Dark storm front sweeps in
Meadow moves, chaotic waves
June rain soaks garden.
Art Prescription: Watching a rolling storm front move in is miraculous. Clouds constantly changing, wind picks up, temperature drops. The smell of rain coming…quick…go inside! Downpour.
Butterfly garden
Grows, thick, wild along roadside
Iron weed, thistle.
Art Prescription: The “weeds” along highways and country roads provide sweet nectar for butterflies!!
Scent of fresh cedar
Brand new possibilities
Unwrap white canvas.
Art Prescription: Like actors who love “the smell of grease paint,” I love the smell of a new canvas. Cedar is often used to make stretcher bars for canvas. So when I unwrap a fresh white canvas my studio becomes scented with possibilities!!
Underneath shade tree
Sunlight dances through branches
Summer dreams are made.
Art Prescription: A most beautiful NC day to work in the garden. Everything is about to burst.
You can’t see the wind
Only the power, the force.
Love works the same way!
Art Prescription: Seek out the positive and good each day…
Fresh sweet corn on cob
Pale yellow kernels of good
Wears a fancy cap!
Art Prescription: Fresh corn has arrived. Tonight I’m making a corn, tomato, fresh basil succotash, along with a mushroom mixed cheese wrap. Quick watercolor pencil sketch of my corn.
