Signs of fall are here
Seed pods, rose hips, faded blooms
We move, new season.
Art Prescription: On my afternoon walk I set out to find signs of fall. I did not have to go far. I find much beauty in the curled, dried leaves and petals. Their work is done and now they can rest.

Scrap Exchange treasures
A place to find what you need
Inspiration hunt.
Art Prescription: The Scrap Exchange in Durham, NC is a warehouse full of everything you can imagine. Art and sewing supplies galore, wood working, leather, old windows, reams of fabric… the list goes on.
It’s a fun place to browse with no agenda. Today I found a set of Chinese porcelain painting bowls!
Lots of other goodies:

Humming birds buzz by
Over red Cardinal blooms
Strength for their travel.
Art Prescription: I went to the NC Botanical Garden to sketch this afternoon. The garden is lush with growth.
Settled on a stand of Cardinal Flowers where the hummingbirds were feeding.
Pen and ink sketch:
And then I added some watercolor:
Makes me so happy!
Cheers,

Flowers have the urge
To bloom forth and see the light
And beauty evolves.
