Jack Frost dropping in
For one final bid farewell
Take cover young buds!

Through the tall green grass
Up over the rise…there lies
The land of plenty.
Art Prescription: Absolute beauty can be found in a field of grazing horses.

This Too is Spring April 17, 2016
Fast furious swoop
A near miss, the dove chortles
Hungry red-eyed hawk.
Art Prescription: I was sitting outside when I heard a sudden ruffle of wings. A hawk swooped in after a morning dove in the trees. Lucky for the dove, the hawk went hungry. The yin and yang of nature.

Scented Breeze April 6, 2016
Scent fills up the air
Romance is happening now
Butterflies delight.
Art Prescription: Spring is sexy! Everywhere I look someone is either fighting for territory or “rights.” What looks like a scuffle is fore-play and nests are being built!

Dive In April 5, 2016
Winter can feel like
Time underwater, spring is
Coming up for air.
Art Prescription: Hard to go inside these days…I’ve got a pair of blue birds checking out the bird house right outside my studio window. How delightful if they take up residence and I can watch them raise a brood!
Watercolor on Yupo (first time on Yupo and I’m not sure what I’m doing)
Draw A Bird Day March 8, 2016
Sharp beak and talons
Silent flight, emerald woods
A night-time huntress.
Art Prescription: Owl
Warbler March 5, 2016
Yellow Pine Warbler
Sings in tree tops, evasive
Suddenly appears!
Art Prescription: I’ve been trying to see a Pine Warbler for a while now with my binoculars. “Hunting” the woods, listening for their song, and scanning the tree-tops for a view. Then today there they were, a pair, right in full view. And yes they are cute as can be.

Ask for Grace February 29, 2016
Cold acquiesces
Begins to unfurl, let go
Of its heavy touch.
Art Prescription: One day at a time we ask for grace in the form of spring.

Hidden February 25, 2016
Like our hopes and dreams
The root of all success starts
With your soul’s blossom.
Art Prescription: Being true to one’s self is an art. And it takes practice. Quiet moments tuning in to a deeper rhythm that sings your soul’s song.
Pen and ink out of my adult coloring kit.
Found Poetry February 6, 2016
Warm and inviting
Knowing that this is my place,
What I’ve created.
Art Prescription: Spent most of my day at the farm riding Finn. Went with found poetry for my haiku and art…a little random print from a magazine. Try it! Just open up to any page and see what words jump out at you.
