Feast with family
Gratitude heaped, glasses raised.
Shoppers, on your mark!
Art Prescription: On a day meant to celebrate thanks, my family has so much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!
Haiku November 21, Acorn
Cutest little cap
A seed that holds a whole oak
The modest acorn.
Art Prescription: Big things come in little packages, like hope, joy, and giving thanks!!
Haiku November 20, 2012 Solitude
Alone, not lonely
Shear peacefulness, quiet bliss
Hear your own footsteps!
Art Prescription: Do you enjoy being alone? I do. Even more so when the world is whirling away at the speed of light. I love it so quiet that the only thing I hear are the squirrels chattering, the birds chirping, and the crunch of leaves under each step! and the swish of my paint brush!
Haiku November 19, 2012 Winter Trees
Bare winter branches
Cradle last seasons bird art
Perfect little nests!
Art Prescription: The last of the leaves have fallen leaving winter sculpture. Bare trees reach towards grey sky. The labor of spring love is revealed.
Haiku November 18, 2012 Moon Light
Sliver of a moon
Sneaks in and out behind clouds
Lights my way back home.
Art Prescription: Enough said!!
Haiku November 17, 2012 Evening in the Woods
Owl calls out from woods
Eyes acclimate as light fades
Birds announce days end.
Art Prescription: Sam and I went for a late afternoon, almost evening, walk at Mason Farm. Lots of activity as the temperature drops and the sun sets with a dramatic pink sky!! As squirrels scurry to their nests, birds take last call, and the nocturnal world begins to wake.
Haiku November 16, 2012 Family Recipes
Cranberry salad
My grandmother’s recipe
Will add lots of love!
Art Prescription: The best recipes come with childhood memories!!
Haiku November 15, 2012 You Don’t Have To Yell To Be Heard
Mushroom stands upright
Close to the ground, knows purpose
Aggressive plants yell.
Art Prescription: On the very crowded bus ride home, I was thinking about how each person goes about their days getting their needs met. We are all so different. Emotion is contagious…drama is quite exhausting.
Bus Haiku:
Standing room only
Bus full of weary workers
Homeward bound for eve.
Haiku November 14, 2012 Leaf Collage
Rich earth, woodsy smell
Steady shower of leaves fall
Ground collage takes shape.
Art Prescription: An early walk in the woods is good for the soul! Standing there watching morning sunlight stream in as leaves dance and sway to the ground is magical. I felt for a moment, oh no! what if this were not here! So quiet and peaceful there…like no other place.
Haiku November 13, 2012 Blue Birds!
A flicker of blue
Against golden hues of fall
He dips, catches bug!
Art Prescription: Saw a group of blue birds on my walk! They hop from branch to branch, occasionally diving to the ground for a treat. Brilliant jewel color!
