Dark and cool outside
First light, daybreak, the world turns
Sweet birds morning song.
Art Prescription: There are a few things worth getting up in the dark for…

Ivy September 18, 2014
Ivy wraps and twirls
Sends young tendrils to anchor
The climb up, over.
Art Prescription: Vines are inspirational. No matter what, they keep climbing. Pen and ink…will color…
Vinca September 17, 2014
September vinca
Blooms red, white, and pink, autumn
Holding on, summer.
Art Prescription: My vincas are still blooming…hardy.
Young Birds September 16, 2014
Young fledge, cardinal
Peep, peep, peep, peep, persistent
Momma demonstrates.
Art Prescription: Adults are still bringing their off-spring to eat on my deck. The fledglings do their best to continue the easy route. Momma feed me. The parents show them how to peck, scratch, and eat.
Local Pond September 15, 2014
Geese call out, echoes
Ready to roost music scales
Turtles paddle by.
Art Prescription: I love my solitary walks around the ponds in my neighborhood. Stood and watched the geese until they took flight. Watercolor sketch.
Nothing Particular September 14, 2014
Some days a blank page
Stares at me, my muse protests
Meanwhile I collage.
Art Prescription: While hiking our favorite place, Mason Farm, NC, we ran into another couple about half-way around the loop. They had just seen two bear cubs running off into the forest!! Then on the trail we saw bear scat. Holy nature walk! We only did one loop today. Back at the studio I tapped into nothing particular. Trying to plan holiday workshops…
Symbols of Life September 13, 2014
Trees, symbols of life
Change gracefully through seasons
Steady giant friends.
Art Prescription: I love to paint trees! This one is 7 feet tall and will go to UNC Hospitals for patients and families to add leaves.
Mini Treats September 12, 2014
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
A Day Off September 11, 2014
Place where time stands still
Gentle wind rolls across field
Horses graze on grass.
Art Prescription: Took my sketchbook and big old sun hat out to Blue Skies today. Took a chair and sat in the paddock, being part of the herd. So hot. They were fine to just let me be there. We know you and you are okay to hang-out with us. They stood lazy, swishing their tails against the flies, sun on their strong backs.
Look Closer September 10, 2014
Perspective lesson
Things look different with time
With a brand new lens.
Art Prescription: Sometimes you just need to look at things in a new way…
