Leaves frolic, March wind

Pansies bloom braving the cold

Birds are on the chase!

Art Prescription: As dried leaves tumble down the street, birds dart and dive for territory and mates.

And always the sun

Bright light, fills house with warm glow

Still cold March morning.

Art Prescription: I love the sun pouring through my windows in the morning.

This is a start of a new painting done with watercolor and salt. I love this effect, thought I’d share. Stay tuned for next step.

Sometimes if you can’t think of what to paint, try laying down your favorite colors (add plenty of pigment), allowing them to mix and run and blend. Sprinkle salt while still wet and wait for magic to happen as it dries.

Go relax baby

And what then shall I do? Be?

Go relax baby.

Art Prescription: Have you forgotten how to relax?

First morning light seeps

Into my sleepy window

First bird song’s sweet pitch.

Art Prescription: Better than an alarm clock!!

Heart beats for knowledge

So many books, day, seconds

To take it all in!

Art Prescription: Do you ever feel overwhelmed when you walk into a library or book store and think I want to read it all!! Life is so glorious and complicated, and there is so much to learn! Was it Shakespeare who said, “the world is too much.”
