Musky sharp bouquet

Cultivates the March landscape

Snow white fluffy tree.

Art Prescription: Walking soothes the nervous system, especially this time of year when there are new sensory experiences daily. Bradford Pears are blooming and although beautiful, they put off a sharp sent. Wisteria is soon to follow.  I’m sure the bees love it. Next time you are out look closely at tree and vine blossoms – do a contour sketch.

Riotous flowers

Think poppy, peoni, rose

Timeless, ageless, bold!

Art Prescription: Walked Old Mason Farm today. Saw Spring Beauty and Violas, dainty wildflowers asking to be noticed. I like to go back and forth between dainty and bold. Always notice and try something new…

Quiet, silence, calm

Hushed, untroubled, balanced soul.

Homely, plain, simple.

Art Prescription: After a busy social weekend I long for solitude and uninterrupted hours to let my imagination and paint brush take over. I think we all need refuge from busy lives…I just know I need it to survive! Do you honor your need for creative dreaming?

Big golden moon hangs

Over new hopes and plans for

A future, hopes, dreams.

Art Prescription: Went to my cousin’s son’s wedding. Beautiful couple. Weddings are good to remind us of the love that carries us through our past, present, and future. Cheers…

Adieu, cheerio

Bye-bye, good-bye, fare you well.

Every language knows.

Art Prescription: Loss knows no boundaries. In every culture around the world there are terms for saying good-by to friends and family. My good-good neighbors are moving…I will miss them! Writing my haiku’s are helping me express my feelings.

Moon swells over pines

“Who cooks for you?” asks the owl.

Great tides ebb and flow.

Art Prescription: Everyday is different. No matter what your day brings, there is always peace to be found in the rhythm of the natural world. Where ever you are in the world the moon cycles and the tides change. Quietly observe and find wholeness! OR howl at the moon!

Soaring, floating high

On air currents glide winged friends

Above my safe home.

Art Prescription: I’m working on a house portrait for a gift. Our dear neighbors are moving. Painting their house is bittersweet…we will miss them dearly. They are moving to be with their daughter, son-in-law, and grandchild! Life coming full circle. With each stroke of my paint brush I bid them well. Art is a great way to work through life changes.
