Art for Healing

I also did some art and wanted to present it to one of my cardiologist specialists. But which one?

I saw this today and wanted to share this. My dad used to do things like this in his wood shop, and he would donate his projects to fund raising efforts to the group Canine Companions for Independence who donate trained service dogs to disabled people. It's nice to see this and it reminds me how wonderful this is for everyone. It's a nice story. https://intheloop.mayoclinic.org/2019/01/03/beautiful-boxes-for-courageous-kids-with-cancer/?cauid=100502&fbclid=IwAR0d3MMFWPWjvJbYs957N-JnUC93-XO2ruklU7rJF34HDDf8QY7Xq3Wum_g&geo=national&linkId=61961232&mc_id=us&placementsite=enterprise&utm_campaign=mayoclinic&utm_content=post&utm_medium=sm&utm_source=facebook

@jenniferhunter Thank you for posting this! Truly little works of heart made by a caring man.

Isn't it interesting how ideas are just in the mental realm and we pick up on them. I did these wooden horse heads when we had a horse rescue for fund raising. After we closed the horse ranch, we moved to a city. I had about thirty of these. Looked online and found two horse rescues in California, contacted them, they were interested in the donation, and I passed them onto them. Got an email explaining how well they were received.

@healthtoday those are beautiful Love different woods I see Redwood is one oak? Very nice

@healthytoday Thank you for sharing. The grains of different woods has always fascinated me. I enjoy the staining and watching the grain come to life. I have also used Tung Oil which is a labor of love. How gratifying to receive a letter from the horse rescue.

They are all carved, cut, and sanded from a spruce from Mt Taylor NM. I stained them different colors. Also made a set from red cedar. Have another set made with masonite and painted. That's the one set that I still have. Picture came in side ways?? (Tilt your head). I see them as a horse waterfall.

Really struggled with afib after Christmas being too strenuous. As I am recovering and close to normal rhythm again, someone suggested to me to turn off the nightly news and instead watch funny tv/movies or listen to peaceful, harmonious music. When you think of afib, you realize it's the heart in a state of chaos. With this understanding, I want to restore harmony to my heart and the rest of me. Adding more harmonious music while I do yoga stretches adds this ingredient. Apparently, I need a lot of harmony to keep my heart in the state of harmony. Maybe my motto might be, if it isn't harmonious, I'm not interested, ie, nightly news.

I love this.

@healthytoday Your work is really striking and creative. Beautiful.
