A flock of Goldfinches perch
On nature’s feeder.

Dirty fingernails
Weeding and pulling, planting

Sole Butterfly November 3, 2015
A sole butterfly
Flaps her golden yellow wings
Over rain puddles.

Anniversary
Accomplishments, accolades
Like peanut butter.

Peanut butter cookies!
Shed November 1, 2015
As the trees shed leaves
So begins winter season
Birds sing renewal.
Art Prescription: As we begin the season of Yin, going into the darker days, I have a sense of renewal. Cleaning the clutter from the year…preparing for the holidays and my open studio.

All Hallows October 31, 2015
The ghosts and goblins
Roam the earth for tricks and treats
Clocks fall back an hour.
Art Prescription: We had fewer than usual trick or treaters last night. We sat on the front porch with a fire.

Muzzle October 30, 2015
So close your muzzle
Soft, warm, breath fogs my glasses
We inhale slow now.
Art Prescription: Sketching at the farm. The smear of brown is where Carson licked my sketchbook! That’s Carson’s nose.
Decisions, Decisions October 29, 2015
“The conflict between what one is and who one is expected to be touches all of us. And sometimes, rather than reach for what one could be, we choose the comfort of the failed role, preferring to be the victim of circumstance, the person who didn’t have a chance.” Merls Shain
Proud October 28, 2015
Proud as a Peacock
Sumptuous turquoise, purple
A flamboyant flare.
Art Prescription: What makes you swell with pride? What makes you want to show-off all your feathers? What makes you get up every morning with a smile? Well….go do that!!
