In a sea of green
Blooming trees sprinkle landscape
Red-buds steal the show!
Art Prescription: If you tried to match all the hues of green right-now, you would be at your easel for a while. So many brilliant shades. And nature shows off with dogwoods and red-buds just bursting at the seam.

Her hair sways in breeze
Shoulder to shoulder, hands held
A romantic stroll.

Waves of regret grow
Secrets sail to never-land
Where is your anchor?
Art Prescription: As I observe nature bursting forth, I’m constantly reminded of how we reap what we sow. Our minds are a sea of turbulence. We must learn to anchor in calm.

Parrot tulips bow
At feet of Forsythia
Stunning centerpiece.
Art Prescription: We went on an art field trip today to the Umstead Hotel where we took in furniture made especially for the hotel and an array of art.
The flower arrangements divine, and the cheese plate and ginger vinegar spritzer felt decadent for a Monday.

Steam rises from cup
My morning is slow, leisure
French toast with my mate.
Art Prescription: Isn’t it lovely to have a slow morning? No rushing or appointments, running out the door with yogurt in hand. Time to sit with a cat or two in my lap, and watch the birds.
Little bit nippy, but I did head out to my studio to paint…

Dapper daffodil
Sparks yellow in the garden
