The smell of spring rain
When it first hits warm asphalt
Or oregano.

True Grit April 27, 2016
Tenacity, grit
Gets us through life’s challenges
And beauty awaits.

Wreaths April 26, 2016
Fresh wildflower wreaths
With pansies, bluets, roses
Bountiful circle.
Art Prescription: Anything in a circle is so pleasing. I think it taps into something deep and symmetrical in our DNA. It’s fun to make a real nature mandala. These are made with models from my garden and watercolor.

Underneath the new
Fresh green canopy, there still
Lies the cool blue shade.
