Seconds of my life

Click by on the microwave

Quick grits are ready!

Art Prescription:  And let’s remember each small thing. Lucky to have hot grits with butter, even if I did eat them standing up between patients. A bite here, ooh that’s hot, a bite there, more butter? What do elephants and grits have to do with one another? Hot grits…cute critter with flowers…TGIF y’all!

Keeping it Real December 9, 2015

Flock of wild turkeys

Gather in field, they do not

Wish they were peacocks.

Art Prescription:  So your neighbor has decked the halls and baked (home-made) a holiday cookie batch to sin for. Meanwhile you say the mantra “less is more, less is more.” And actually you are okay with that. You watch as the cardinal steals a sunflower seed from the nuthatch, and you sigh…life is good…life is really good.

Deer November 17, 2015

In November shade

Deer graze in waning sunset

Smell of fallen leaves

Art Prescription:  On the way home from the farm I always see deer grazing in the corn fields. My Open Studio is this weekend, so index cards are my go to art for now.

Adult Color September 4, 2015

A thing of beauty

In the eye of beholder

Color in your world.

Art Prescription:  The Art Prescription Deck: A Dose of Coloring Inspiration is about ready to launch. I picked up some samples today and here is my colored piece. I can’t wait to see how others choose to color! The deck will come with a set of 12 pen and ink illustrations drawn from life at the North Carolina Botanical Garden with joy by me. My hope is for this product to benefit the health of many.
