Cold front moving in
Wind whips tree branches, rattles
Blue birds hunker down.
Art Prescription: What a fuss? Blue birds claiming territory so early? Perhaps a warm box seems like a good idea!

Patchwork January 9, 2016
Life is a patchwork
All the pieces add up to
The one, only you.
Art Prescription: We are a sum of our experiences…
Fabric, colored pencil, sewing…
Submission January 8, 2016
Fooled by warm weather
Some flowers bloom with good cheer
Winter submission.
Art Prescription: In some ways we all must submit to winter. Yield…surrender…put on extra clothes…take a nap here and there. It seems in our DNA to hibernate a bit. Rest and rejuvenate.

Thaw January 7, 2016
Piping hot shower
My bones begin to thaw, warm
A luxury now.
Art Prescription: Off work I skipped to my van thinking about how to spend my afternoon. R-R-R-R-R! The old girl wouldn’t start. Called my friend Kerry and she promptly brought jumper cables. “We” read the directions, she’s much better at these things! And R-R-R-R…nope.
AAA call put in. Waited in the cold for a bit too long. Kerry came again to tote my frozen bones home.
Wow. What a luxury a warm shower and warm clothes. Made me think of the homeless and how they suffer in the elements. Such things we take for granted daily, warmth, hot showers, home. I’m so grateful!!

Late January 4, 2016
Like a teenager
Winter comes home late, sneaks in
Wakes up the whole house.
Art Prescription: Remember trying to sneak in and not wake up your parents? Well I always had to wash my face…so the running water would wake up my mom. Winter has been delayed here in North Carolina, but brrrr, got out my layers today when I went out to see Finn.
Art Journal style – paint, collage, sewing
Back-Stage January 3, 2016
Like a back-stage prop
The sun sets, curtain goes down
Protagonist trees.
Art Prescription: Everyone loves a good character. Who’s the great character in your life?
Watercolor, graphite, pen and ink, very sketchy!
And That’s a Wrap January 2, 2016
Road signs point to home
Final holiday event
The new and old merge.
Art Prescription: Lovely holiday with family. We have new baby additions to both sides of our family. Old traditions were enjoyed and new ones are being made.
Fly In January 1, 2016
Two noisy flocks fly
Take a loop to scout out pond
Soar down, splash landing!
Art Prescription: Although it’s the first day of a new year, the natural world just keeps on ticking as before…the rhythm of life.
