On the bus, the scent
Freshly brewed hot hazelnut
Coffee on the go!
Art Prescription: How do you take your coffee? Slowly…while you wake up…or quickly out the door!!

Haiku January 23, 2013 Your Own Space
A place of your own
Space to spread your wings and fly
Private universe!
Art Prescription: As much as we humans need relationships, social media, love, and companionship, we also need space and time to be quite with ourselves.
Haiku January 22, 2013 Optimism
Optimism, hope
Something to look forward to
Energy to leap!!
Art Prescription: I wake up thinking of color!! Leap out of bed…well not quite. I do love a project!
Haiku January 21, 2013 Frogs
Trill of wetland frogs
Music fills the lush creekside
Water reflects sky.
Art Prescription: Frog medicine is a call for rain, cleansing. Our forecast is for temperatures to drop into the teens overnight…brrrr. Take cover frog!!
Haiku January 20, 2013 48 hours
Suit wet from last swim
Brisk walk into indoor pool.
Ah, the rhythm now.
Art Prescription: Indoor swimming in the winter is meditation. Stroke by stroke my mind wanders…Spring by the river!!
Art Prescription Workshop
“The artist only needs the willingness to paint.”
“There’s always a clean white canvas.”
Taught an Art Prescription Workshop today with friends. My goal in mentoring is to help the individual bring out their artistic voice. To move away from expectations and to respond to what happens in the moment that paint and brush come together.
One man’s junk is another’s treasure…look at this fantastic ink work! I then colored it in…

Tall pines stand sentry
Silhouette in clear cold sky
Flock of geese fly, honk!

Haiku January 17, 2013 Snow Day
Chance of snow flurries
Stirs fun childhood memories
A day off! to start!!
Art Prescription: The excitement of a winter storm warning here in North Carolina permeates the air. Bet the grocery shelves are stripped clean of milk and bread!! Kind-of funny, kind of real! Confession…I find myself looking out the window…is it snowing yet!!
Haiku January 16, 2013 Rx for Rainy Day
Another grey day
Crawl in bed pull covers up?
Or paint a rainbow!!
Art Prescription: Human nature, grey-rainy days equals hibernation. The pull of warm covers and a hubby taking a nap….noooooooooo! So I went to swim!! Came home energized! Another “Stripe” painting. Turned it sideways for a little sunrise surprise!
