Twilight, forest wakes
Frogs rib-it, birds lullabye
Owls begin to prowl.
Art Prescription: Watching the sun go down and listening to the night-time creatures awaken is musical!
Haiku March 31, 2013 Trout-lily
If Trout-lilys played
A musical instrument.
They’d be violins.
Art Prescription: One of the main reasons I like sketching live is to feel the personality of a plant. As a certified botanical illustrator, we were taught to tell the plant’s story. Get your sketchbook and go out and draw…think you can’t draw? Just let your hand follow your eye. Get your brain, and what you think you see out of the way….just follow the contours of the subject.
Haiku March 30, 2013 North Carolina Botanical Gardens
Faint from spring beauty
I grasp to take it all in
This one human life.
Art Prescription: Sometimes nature’s beauty overwhelms me. We hiked our favorite place Mason Farm Biological Preserve, and I went to the North Carolina Botanical Gardens to sketch!!
March 29, 2013 Ducklings
In the woods a nest
Made with down and feathers, waits
For newly laid eggs.
Art Prescription: A dance in the water…the male soars just above, lands with grace and ripples. The female is interested. Her nest is ready…
Haiku March 28, 2013 Pear Trees
Spring pear-tree blossoms
Swirl to the ground like snow flakes
Blown about by March.
Art Prescription: The white-tops of spring blooming trees reminds me of snow.
Haiku March 27, 2013 Sketch Fun
A pen and paper
Expressive sketch, just capture
The essence of cat.
Art Prescription: Part of the Art Prescription philosophy is to encourage creativity any where, any time. Nothing has to be perfect, just play and have fun.
Haiku March 26, 2013 Hummingbirds
Backyard bird haven
Songbirds await arrival
Mini feathered friends.
Art Prescription: Season change brings new friends.
Haiku March 25, 2013 Blue Sky
Anxious for blue
Spring blooming trees wait to see
Their shadow on ground.
Art Prescription: Bright sunlight or moonlight are what make magnificent shadows.
Haiku March 24, 2013 Rain Hike
Rainy day nature
Sharp wind blows umbrella up!
Peaceful, creek babbles.
Art Prescription: Even on a grey, windy, rainy, cold, day, I need to get out and convene with nature! Nature walking in the rain is actually quiet soothing. Droplets pitter-patter your umbrella, everything smells fresh, and the sounds of water running downstream is musical.
Haiku March 23, 2013 Spring Woodland
The woods are salted
With whitish-pink Spring Beauties
Violets dress path.
Art Prescription: Active day at Mason Farm!! Lots of wildlife, including finding an owl nested in a hole in a tree!!
