A corner, two lines
Things come together, form whole
Just then spark ignites!
Art Prescription: Ever had a moment when suddenly things make more sense? When you get just one small bit of information and the dots connect? The universe at work…
Echinachea
Grows tall, petals nod gently
No apathy here!
Art Prescription: Actually more commonly known as Purple Echinachea, or Echinachea purpurea, Eastern Cone Flower. My blooming group stands tall and proud in the corner of a plant bed that rounds the sidewalk to my studio. These big, bold blooms say hello! And Echinachea has antidepressant properties, and is believed to stimulate the immune system.
We could all use a bit of this. I’m distressed by apathy – or the seemingly spiritlessness of some people’s lives. The human will is a fragile thing. For me the simple act of watering and caring for my blooming garden creates moment after moment of peace and joy! The spirit of nature renews me, to study and sketch, sublime!
