Now and Then March 15, 2017
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…
Hand-Made Journal Page March 14, 2017
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 Rain March 13, 2017
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.

Frosting March 12, 2017
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.

By the Lake March 11, 2017
Sway, perch, sweep, and swarm
All signs of springs arrival
On watch by the lake.
Art Prescription: Went to walk in the woods by a lake. Found a full bank of Trout Lilly’s ready to burst open. Lots of birds doing their spring thing.

Vines March 9, 2017
As the white moon grows
Blooming vines twirl and reach up
Purple-blue Vinca.
Art Prescription: Such a happy perineal.

Outside March 8, 2017
Outside the window
The morning air is awash
With loving spirits.
Art Prescription: Faeries, Angels, Spirits, Animal Medicine…just to name a few.
So I’m late posting because my painting wasn’t dry in time. Plus I did not like it!! So this morning I whittled away at it, cutting it down to something I like well enough.

Poise March 7, 2017
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.

Letting Go March 6, 2017
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.”
