Hello, how are you?
Is your heart troubled, worried?
Get outside and smile.
Art Prescription: End of winter, we all need a little vitamin D…or a little animal medicine.

It is February February 25, 2017
Taupe colored clouds move
In with a cold winter front
Hang tight little blooms.
Art Prescription: All this warm weather here in North Carolina has encouraged everything to bloom early. Now tonight a front is moving back in.
I love the simple elegance of brush painting. I’ll make this one available in my Etsy shop!!

Innocence February 24, 2017
It’s before you knew
Free from guilt or blame, simple
Just a shear pleasure.
Art Prescription: Spring moves forth with such determination…

Wildflower Field February 23, 2017
A field of purple
Highlight against winter trees
Power of a few.
Art Prescription: A stand alone wildflower is minuscule, but put them in a field with others, and you have a stampede of color.

Sweet Air February 22, 2017
He sings his heart out
Fills February air with
Sweetness and a goal.
Art Prescription: Such an early spring! The birds, bees, and buds, are doing their thing.

Playful February 21, 2017
With a playful mind
A bag of sunflower seed
Becomes an art tote.
Art Prescription: I asked myself, “what if.” I was actually thinking about the bags that Finn’s feed comes in, I’ll try that next. But on hand was an almost empty bag of sunflower seed…so here is a little birdy art tote!! Full art copyright goes to Southern States…ooooh maybe I should show this to them!
Coming Soon February 20, 2017
Anxious to burst forth
Buds on trees wait their turn to
Add color to woods.
Art Prescription: One of my favorites…the Pink Dogwood.

Dream Garden February 18, 2017
Dream of June garden
Lost in the scent of flowers
Where butterflies fly.
Art Prescription: Played with mixed media on a YES canvas today. Laid acrylic paint down with a brayer, then added some collage and other marks. Then wrote in French, “Look for me in the garden, where butterflies fly and I’m lost in the flowers.”

Spreads a glow about the day
In February.
Art Prescription: Spring-like and beautiful.
