Cold rainy morning
Warm blankets and cats call me
Back into my bed.
Art Prescription: Saturday morning. No place in particular to be. It’s cloudy and rainy and cold…brrrr. Warm cats, warm bed, is this really a decision?
Using my collage paper with the 1903 ledger and flowers, I then sewed my index card sketches onto the paper. Fun!!!
I
Something old and new
Years of age and a fresh bloom
Each tells a story.
Art Prescription: Another piece using a 1903 ledger from Carrboro, North Carolina. These dusty pages tell a story. So I picked a few of my freshly bloomed flowers…and here is the conversation…
A vintage ledger
A glimpse of nineteen hundred
Hand-written account.
Art Prescription: So I was gifted this 1903 ledger, a store from Carrboro, North Carolina. Flipping through the pages gives me the chills as I realize how far we’ve come, and what we have lost. Lost are hand-written records with beautiful penmanship, lost are solid articles you can hold and feel, lost are things packed away for finding later. Digital means it’s all somewhere.

Cold, chill to the bone
Steady drizzle and down-pours
Early springs revenge.
Art Prescription: So we have had record high temperatures, and now we are having record low temperatures.
Index card with watercolor and colored pencil:
A light snow dusting
Frosted wildflowers, spring trees
With a white layer.
Art Prescription: A morning snow put spring on hold, but by afternoon the birds were moving on to their business.
Index card with watercolor and my chop “hope.”
As the white moon grows
Blooming vines twirl and reach up
Purple-blue Vinca.
Art Prescription: Such a happy perineal.
Index card with pen and watercolor:
And always have poise
Calmness, serenity, grace
Choose to rise above.
Art Prescription: Each day life offers us many choices. I’ve often heard it’s not the situation, but how you cope that makes a difference.

What makes you happy?
Can you clear your mind for this?
What can you let go?
Art Prescription: I think it’s human nature to hold onto things…material things, dreams, your past. But, what would your days look like if you simply let go of all that data running around in your head, and just simply focused on what you a good at, what makes you happy.
Index card with watercolor and my chop that says, “hope.”
Sunday morning drive
Early and roads are quiet
Just me and the crows.
Art Prescription: Alone time is the quintessential salve for busy life.
Art journal sketch with pen:
Spring Red-Buds border
The highway like landing lights
Place to land winter.
Art Prescription: So pretty.
