I am working from home as many people are in this world. Today, I wanted to get my paints out, but do not want to start a large painting, or anything that I would get overly involved in. I have this desire to paint from time-to-time but tend to not do it, because I am very busy with my work schedule.

As an art therapist I decided to work on a small painting using index cards for some mindfulness calming exercises before I start my day seeing clients.

Supplies needed:

• index cards
• water color paints
• markers
• paper towels
• water bowl for water
• paint brushes

I came up with a design with flowers. I like flowers because of the calming quality that they give.

I would like to say my plan is to paint one a day. I tend to not do well when I place a rule like that, as inspiration needs to be organic for me to be involved in it. Let’s see if I can pull this off more days in the week than just a few for a month.
