We must move forward
Across the fields of unknown
In search of better.

Naked November 8, 2016
Paper patient gown
I disrobe for a napkin?
You in your white coat.
Art Prescription: I know it’s election day…hard to top that, but I’ve been taking my clothes off all over town, lol! Don’t worry, just my wellness visits. I never noticed all that much before how cold and uncomfortable paper patient gowns were until I recently saw a new physician who uses the real thing. Soft gown and a real blanket, how comforting. When you already feel exposed and vulnerable, it’s amazing how small things matter. Kept my socks on!!!

Time Change November 6, 2016
Half moon smiles at me
As day-light-savings time ends
Dark now so early.
Art Prescription: It’s only an hour…I will be in bed super early. Yay cuddle time!!

Thistle November 5, 2016
Flower department
The blue-grey thistle seems so
Exotic, simple.
Art Prescription: I did an art demo today at my favorite local store, Southern Season, a gourmet food and specialty item store here in Chapel Hill, NC. I was launching my Art Prescription Deck: A dose of coloring inspiration! The store looked beautiful and festive putting me in a pre-holiday mood. My table was in the stationery and flower department…perfect! I did live painting and gave away miniature works. The thistle was my favorite.

Trees glow with their final burst
Season finale.

Enter Winter November 1, 2016
Cozy cloudy day
Made for comforters and cats
And hot chocolate.
Art Prescription: Not how I spent my day…well maybe the comforter and cat bit for a while. Went for a morning swim, worked on my Open Studio post card, and then Finn had a chiropractor appointment.

October Garden October 31, 2016
October garden
Lantana and cosmos brave
The onset of chill
Art Prescription: My cheerful garden is still so pretty. The butterflies and hummers have left, sigh… We all begin our shift more inward.

Reflection October 28, 2016
See your reflection?
Who does it remind you of?
Are you becoming?
Art Prescription: People say as we get older we become more like our parents…GASP! My hope is that we become more like the good our parents taught us. And that we are able to grow into our authentic skin seeking the positive in each and every day. We have this one precious life…seek the glass half full!
