Buried dreams take sprout and grow
Find your treasure map.
Art Prescription: When the squirrel buried a seed, it had no idea that the seed would sprout and grow into a sunflower. Follow your dreams, ask for what you want, plant a seed, and watch it grow.
Watercolor 6 x 9
Keep your loved ones close
Seek shelter from hurricane
Prayers for safety.
Art Prescription: As hurricane Matthew continues a destructive path, my heart goes out to all the loss of life in Haiti. I pray for the safety of everyone in the path of this storm. We are two hours from the North Carolina coast and watching with apprehension.
Morning rush hour
Mad dash to make a living
Shackles of success?
Art Prescription: I had to take my husband to pick his car up from being serviced this morning. We were picking it up to go buy and install the parts ourselves, since the dealers quote was ridiculous. Lucky for me I’m married to a guy who can do just about anything!
I did notice the blank stares of people driving off to where-ever. Working to live instead of living to work. It’s hard out there…
Hope some of these folks do notice the scenery…small moments of joy in an otherwise stressful life.
Life ebbs and life flows
Bursting with seed, pods open
A new season starts.
Art Prescription: This time of year beautiful sculptural seed pods are everywhere. Reminds us all that if you plant a seed it will grow.
Watercolor 5 x 7 with my chop that says “hope”
Flip-flap of bare feet
Last day of September now
Trees full of black birds.
Art Prescription: As the birds fly south for winter, children spend their final days running in bare-feet. Soon they will need a jacket and gloves. I love the changing of seasons. Like life everything ebbs and flows.

A mare and her foal
Tender moment by the woods
Motherly essence.
Art Prescription: Spent my morning at the farm riding Finn with my Women’s Intuitive Riding group. I always leave there floating on air, as if every worry in my world has evaporated into the ethers.
I think I’m finished with this mare and her foal. Feedback welcome…

She sits on the pier
Overlooks her cove, the sea
Comes and goes with tides.
Art Prescription: The seagulls were of course charming…Playing with crayons, so fun!! Try it! Watercolor background and then crayon sketching.

A Digby boat launch
Out into grey-blue waters
Working piece of art.
Art Prescription: Hi folks! Last two days I’ve had technical difficulty, aka got a new iPhone and don’t know how everything works yet!! In the meantime I’ve finished my first Nova Scotia painting. It’s kind-of intimidating to try and capture the romance and color we saw while there.

Still wet from the rain
Cut delicate pink roses
Adorn a glass vase.
Art Prescription: Oh how I will miss being able to go out into the garden for freshly cut flowers.

Blossom gone to seed
Beautiful structure remains
Season at it’s end.
Art Prescription: After several busy days working on landscape commissions, I felt the need to do something simple and soothing. My coneflowers have gone to seed and I find them so beautiful. Two simple tools, a pen and pencil. Peaceful.
