Elm, like a fountain

Spills over her golden leaves

Cascade in autumn.

Art Prescription:  I’m teaching a class at the North Carolina Botanical Garden this coming weekend. My favorite subject, trees!

Watercolor 8 1/2 x 11 Elm

Quiet, except for

Leaves crunching under our feet

And squirrels rustling.

Art Prescription:  beautiful fall day! Took my sketchbook and a pen to Mason Farm. Colored with colored pencils at home. Long lived day.

Annual party

Twenty years of gathering

So glad to be home.

Art Prescription:  late-night parties are not for me! I’m usually the first to arrive and the first to leave. Our friends have been throwing this annual party for 20 years. It’s a great party!! And now I’m home sweet home.

Making Wildflower Magnets for the North Carolina Botanical Garden!

Seems the day calls for

Blues and purples, like music

Color sings a song.

Art Prescription:  how are you feeling? What color sings your song?

Art journal watercolor:

The why’s of humans

We question the day deeply

While nature just knows.

Art Prescription:  The would-have, could-have, should-have. Why can’t we just know when to fly?

Watercolor butterflies:

Story in color

Of freshly plowed orange fields

On October day.

Art Prescription:  Fall color in a representational abstract:

A touch of romance

Fresh flowers, pretty linens

Hot coffee in bed.

Art Prescription:  Bringing nature indoors has been popular since the late 18th century.

Oh how I would love to design a set of sheets! Wayfair has a pillow with my pink feathers. That’s exciting!
