Winter Sunset February 4, 2017

Birds sing final song

Cold night fog blankets the field

Light fades to deep blue.

Art Prescription:  So there we were at Mason Farm all bundled. Then at dusk, as promised, these birds start to make some noise. Their dating dance. A couple of ” peents.” Then they take off into the air and make a symphony of sound coming down.

Somewhere February 3, 2017

Somewhere in quiet

All things move forward with plan

To produce beauty.

Art Prescription:  This is a recycled painting. Put it into the recycle bin, literally…and then kept seeing it as I walked past. Cut it up and used it for this index card art.

Morning Rush February 2, 2017

Testing gravity

For no apparent reason

She thought she could fly!

Art Prescription: When the knees and the concrete met, it was evident she could not. Coffee, however, seems to take flight until alas it empties it’s precious fuel.

I think I will stick to feeling weightless in the pool…bruised knees, bruised ego.

Index card painted with coffee (the cup I did not have) and watercolor pencil:

Hello February February 1, 2017

First day of new month

Almost seventy-degrees

In February.

Art Prescription:  I’m not complaining, beautiful day. February brings to mind love. Usually cold which lends itself to cuddling, I’m kicking off the covers. Oh dear…sweet cupid, shoot me!!!

Mulleygrubs January 30, 2017

Case of mulleygrubs

Cure is a cake or red dress

Or watercolor.

Art Prescription:  I first heard of “mulleygrubs” from Ginger Andrews’ poem “The Cure.”

“The cure for the mulleygrubs,

she tells my sister,

is to get up and bake a cake.

If that doesn’t do it, put on a red dress.”

It seems listening to the news is causing me a sure case of mulleygrubs, so I paint and paint and paint!! And maybe pray…
