Vinegar, water,
Sugar, spices, red onion
Garlic, yellow squash!!
Art Prescription: Trying my hand at some “refrigerator pickles.” I went to a demo at our local farmer’s market and it looked fun and simple.

Haiku July 16, 2013 Ménage à trois
Menage a trois show
A choreographed wing act
Delicate magic!
Art Prescription: When I stepped around to my path to my studio, three beautiful swallowtails were dancing around my pink Echinacea. It was like magic. I’d love to paint this…for now a capture.
Haiku July 15, 2013 Horses
Warm velvet soft nose
Smell of fresh hay and cut grass
Afternoon horse barn.
Art Prescription: There is just something about being around horses. Their warm brown eyes and soft ears, majestic musculature, swishy tails, the smell of leather, and a historic relationship. We’ve long been bound to these creatures.

Sunday worship time
All rise for the choir to sing

Haiku July 13, 2013 Pieces of Life
Life is a puzzle
At times all the pieces fit
At times parts are lost.
Art Prescription: So what do you do on those days where things just don’t seem to fit together? What can you do to shift your mood to something better? Exercise, art, music, cook, pets…name your remedy! Please share!

Rejuvination
A spring of positive strength
Renew, refresh, grow!!
Art Prescription: I’ve had two very busy days at my nursing job. Life presents us many ways to grow and learn. Art is a perfect conduit for catharsis, a way to channel emotions, and come out on the other side with a sense of renewal.
Haiku July, 11, 2013 Steady Drizzle
Set out for a walk
Clouds gathered, distant rumble
Rain drops fall, I’m wet!!
Art Prescription: This time of year a walk in a steady drizzle can actually be refreshing. Then my neighbor’s dog took off running wild through the woods, freaked by the thunder. I went off after him, poison ivy and all! Like a deer he shot through the bramble. Luckily he and his owner are both safely home, not sure who is more shaken. For me, a warm shower and a glass of wine should do.
Haiku July 10, 2013 Farmer’s Market
Farmer’s market stars
A bucket of zinnias
Steal the summer show!
Art Prescription: Went to a “refrigerator pickling” demo today at the local farmer’s market. Good things to come from that!! And the zinnias stole my eye!
