In the stillness

A moment in the garden

Cool August weather.

Art Prescription: art journal collage.

A streak of gold lands

End of the season seed heads

Of pink cone-flower.

Art Prescription:  I love to hear the high pitched chirps of Goldfinches. This time of year they are bright canary yellow with a striking black head and tail. They enjoy feeding on the seeds of echinacea, pink cone-flower.

Watercolor sketch:

Along the woods edge

Timid pair of white-tailed deer

Venture out to graze.

Art Prescription:  Sheer beauty…watercolor:

Along the river

Lies a sandy path for miles

Water babbles through.

Art Prescription:  We took a day trip close to home to Saxapahaw, a historic river mill village. Now the brick buildings host small thriving shops and river loft condos. We meandered behind the buildings and found a wonderful trail. Turns out this trail runs 70 miles. So many treasures to discover right here st home.

Art journal with collage and watercolor:

Hummers flutter by

Not sure if my pink robe is

Friend or sweet nectar.

Art Prescription:  For several moments a hummingbird fluttered a foot away from me. She was not sure if I was friend or foe.

And Blackie the stray feral cat let me pet his head.

Love is…really.

A mating pair of hummingbird moths, iPhoto:

A field of poppies

Glow in early August sun

Meadow crickets hum.

Art Prescription:  Even though the temperatures still soar into the 90’s, there is a subtle shift in the air and sound. Mornings beckon for open windows to let the cool night air in.

Riding off into

The beautiful sunset, bound

For the next chapter.

Art Prescription:  When one thing ends, something beautiful begins.

For everything

There is a season, a time

To move up, onward.
