Ocean rolls in, melts
Eases to calm sound ripples
Current swirls beneath.
Art Prescription: Walked to the end of the island today where the ocean meets the sound. I left a Haiku O Gram there!!
Haiku December 13, 2012 Beach Escape
Steady waves crest white
Bubble and foam, make landfall
Gulls huddle for warmth!
Art Prescription: Here in North Carolina we are four hours from the mountains and 3 from the beach. Both directions make an excellent winter escape!! I think for right now my spirit needs the steady, rhythmic, reassuring sound of the ocean. Peace.
Haiku December 12, 2012 Winter Mist
Light cool winter mist
Creates halo around lights
Sparkly white and bright.
Art Prescription: Perhaps part of the tradition of hanging lights for the holidays is to chase away gray, winter days.
Haiku December 11, 2012 Poinsettia
Red poinsettia
Dark green leaves, velvet blossom
Holiday symbol!
Art Prescription: At this time of the year the stores are full of red and white showy poinsettias. A seasonal find, a must have decorative touch for the holidays.
Haiku December 10, 2012 Winter??
Barefoot December
Holiday red toes step out
Winter sky, warm ground!
Art Prescription: So I really walked barefoot to and from my studio today…winter!?! Nice but confusing. I’m ready to wear sweat-shirts and fuzzy socks and have the fire going!!!
Haiku December 9, 2012 Cotton Fields
Flat plowed cotton fields
Look like a dusting of snow
White wispy terrain.
Art Prescription: Sometimes life takes you east when you should have been going west!
December 8, 2012 Fresh Coffee
Coffee, freshly ground
Warm cup of java with cream
Morning moment, bliss!
Art Prescription: Small wonderful moments make up the whole of life! Cheers!
Haiku December 7, 2012 Predictable Cat
Meow howl for chow
Long lick both chops, clean face, purr
Repeat twice a day!
Art Prescription: We have cats! Three! I’d love a dog too, but for now the cats rule! Artist throughout history have studied the long and graceful lines of cat behavior. My favorite is Steinlen! If you have pets they are perfect for gestural sketching…try and capture the essence of dog or cat -itude!
Haiku December 6, 2012 Compassion
Compassion: to walk
A brief time in other’s shoes
Give of time and heart.
Art Prescription: The holiday season brings out extremes in feelings. At any given point in life you or I may respond differently to a world where “everyone else seems normal.” No matter what holiday you celebrate, there is bound to be some roller-coaster of emotions. The perfect gift, time and heart!
