Real first day of Spring
One season runs into next
Life goes round and round.
Art Prescription: A simple spring mandala in pen and ink and watercolor.
Home Cooking March 19, 2017
A busy kitchen
Spells love, and a fresh menu
Real homemade goodness.
Art Prescription: It’s fun to have time on the weekend to cook together. Kitchen time chopping fresh produce…and then the reward, yum.

Warm Bed March 18, 2017
Cold rainy morning
Warm blankets and cats call me
Back into my bed.
Art Prescription: Saturday morning. No place in particular to be. It’s cloudy and rainy and cold…brrrr. Warm cats, warm bed, is this really a decision?
Using my collage paper with the 1903 ledger and flowers, I then sewed my index card sketches onto the paper. Fun!!!

Full Moon March 17, 2017
Underneath bamboo
Place to rest, shade for the day
Watch path of the moon.
Art Prescription: A place can be so different depending on the time of day or night.

Now and Then March 15, 2017
Something old and new
Years of age and a fresh bloom
Each tells a story.
Art Prescription: Another piece using a 1903 ledger from Carrboro, North Carolina. These dusty pages tell a story. So I picked a few of my freshly bloomed flowers…and here is the conversation…
Hand-Made Journal Page March 14, 2017
A vintage ledger
A glimpse of nineteen hundred
Hand-written account.
Art Prescription: So I was gifted this 1903 ledger, a store from Carrboro, North Carolina. Flipping through the pages gives me the chills as I realize how far we’ve come, and what we have lost. Lost are hand-written records with beautiful penmanship, lost are solid articles you can hold and feel, lost are things packed away for finding later. Digital means it’s all somewhere.

Cold Rain March 13, 2017
Cold, chill to the bone
Steady drizzle and down-pours
Early springs revenge.
Art Prescription: So we have had record high temperatures, and now we are having record low temperatures.

Frosting March 12, 2017
A light snow dusting
Frosted wildflowers, spring trees
With a white layer.
Art Prescription: A morning snow put spring on hold, but by afternoon the birds were moving on to their business.
Index card with watercolor and my chop “hope.”
By the Lake March 11, 2017
Sway, perch, sweep, and swarm
All signs of springs arrival
On watch by the lake.
Art Prescription: Went to walk in the woods by a lake. Found a full bank of Trout Lilly’s ready to burst open. Lots of birds doing their spring thing.
