Woodland Nandina
Bright red berries in winter
Challenges the grey.
Art Prescription: On my walk today, noticed the Nandina against the very brown and grey back-drop.

Cold Blast January 3, 2014
Wind gusts rattle house
Wicked cold, blizzards up north
Dreaming of iris.
Art Prescription: Winter is kicking her heels up. I don’t mind actually. I like to get bundled up and take brisk walks.
Boundaries January 2, 2014
Sweep off your own porch
Before you go with your broom
To clear another!!
Art Prescription: Boundaries!!! Argh…So a new neighbor moved in and her cats are outdoors only! It’s cold out there, and rainy…Give me strength!!
“Happy” New Year January 1, 2014
Caught a falling seed
Held it for a while, the wind
Swept it off my palm.
Art Prescription: Just go with the flow…take it to the river.
Looking Forward 2014 December 31, 2013
I can see clearly
Through these rose colored glasses
And the scent…divine.
Art Prescription: I think my theme for looking forward to a new year is all about roses! A few thoughts:
Rose Colored Glasses – Optimism and gratitude work!
A Bed of Roses – Seek comfort everyday…make your home your haven.
Everything is coming up roses – Expect the best…dream…and plan for them to come true.
Rose Scented Water – Yep, bathe in it!
A Rose is a Rose – Be authentic…be you!
Is it Real December 30, 2013
Is it real? true art?
Start with the hand, then transform
With wave of the mouse.
Art Prescription: Sure is fun to play.
Resolution Time December 29, 2013
Resolution time
The rain stops, blue skies appear
And just like that, change!
Art Prescription: It’s the time of year when people start taking stock of their lives, and begin to think about new beginnings…change. Why not just live the life you want 365 days? You are beautiful just the way you are! Now live that!!!
Holiday Blues December 28, 2013
Got holiday blues?
Cope with creativity!
Draw, paint, write, journal!
Art Prescription: As the year comes to close I come full circle with the intention of the Art Prescription. Creativity is healing. Making art boosts your feel good hormones and makes your immune system stronger. So…while you are making your new years resolution list…add something creative, like keeping a daily journal. Go ahead. Buy something pretty and just start! It will do your spirit good!
Color Cure December 27, 2013
Blue and red, purple
Search for Radiant Orchid
Color of the year.
Art Prescription: The color of 2014 has been announced, Radiant Orchid. One of my favorite color explorations is to mix paint. Meditation on 108 shades.
All is Calm December 26, 2013
Two thousand thirteen
Slips cooly out the back-door
All is calm and bright!
Art Prescription: For some the holiday season comes to a roaring halt, moms and dads exhausted, children over-stimulated and cranky, people wishing they were really HOME for the holidays. Okay, I’m not bah-humbug. I just think simple is better. Peace is good…
