Big fat dragonflies
Wings flicker in sun over
Turtles on a log.
Art Prescription: It was very “buzzy” at Mason Farm today. Lots of winged insects. Dragonflies big as birds, well, almost. Watercolor pencil on 3 x 5 notecard illustration.

Dawn May 31, 2014
On the edge of night
The world begins to wake up
Day begins at dawn.
Summer Heat May 30, 2014
After you’ve been hot
A cool breeze in the blue shade
Rushes your body.
Art Prescription: Summer is here. Sultry heat, humidity, shorts and tees, hot bright sun. There is always a little relief under a big tree with a breeze.
Spray It May 29, 2014
Spray it with color
Wine tastes like watermelon!
Both need newspaper!!
Art Prescription: Remember eating watermelon and spitting the seeds out! Did your grandmother put a big piece of newspaper under the juicy watermelon? My day in a haiku!!
Simply Love May 28, 2014
Out beyond the gate
I find my breath, deep and full
On a white mare’s back.
Art Prescription: Rode Lacey today! Some ring work…my trot a little better…and then off into the woods and corn-fields. Lean forward going up-hill and lean back going down hill. I try to let her rhythm carry my body. Trust, let go and breathe. Folks this is big.
Color Galore May 27, 2014
Shelves of pure color
Buy single or in a group
Paint in a pencil!
Art Prescription: Field trip to the art store today. Shelves of color, watercolor, acrylic, oils, pastels, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, ink, markers. It’s intoxicating!! And oh all the papers…
Well I survived and got out with some exciting stuff to try. A bargain for the spirit.
Recycled Art May 26, 2014
Cardboard piece, trash bound
A little paint, bit of glue
Two hours in bliss!!
Art Prescription: Sometimes it’s all about the foundation. What you begin with. And two hours later my muse is happy…
Gerber Daisy May 25, 2014
Gerber daisy wow!
A sea of velvet petals
In every hue.
Art Prescription: Any garden shop is a canvas for a floral artist. Nature makes colors we mortals attempt to match. It would be a fun challenge to mix and match each color of this photo. So many shades of pink, red, and yellow…a good learning exercise.
Storytelling May 24, 2014
Rose grows empty lot
Her red blooms tell a story
An era gone by.
Art Prescription: We are all planting seeds. Some we will see grow and flourish, and others we will leave behind for the future. Plant well my friend…
Split Personality May 23, 2014
Two worlds, artist, nurse
Some days my hat does not fit
Either, want to rest!
Art Prescription: I’ve been weaving my two worlds of nursing and art together for about 10 years…maybe 11…or all my life…which came first? I love both in many ways. Often it’s the transition that is hardest. What hats do you wear? Which hat fits you best? Fits your spirit?
