A cold ice cream adventure
A scoop or a cone.

And said, “I love you.”

Extra Paint May 22, 2017
Turquoise, white, and red
Sat unused on the palette
A zinnia born.
Art Prescription: I finished two trees for UNC Hospitals today. Bittersweet…this work I do…honored. I had left over paint. So I headed to my studio, (I paint in my garage for these big pieces), and some zinnias bloomed.

Trail Ride May 21, 2017
All along the ground
Wildflowers mingled with grass
Sway in the saddle.
Art Prescription: Took a long trail ride today! Perfect weather and the scent of honeysuckle filled the air. Along the ground I saw purple-spring vetch, clover, and purple nettle.

Among the white Penstemon
A ruby red throat.
