Haiku February 4, 2012

Yellow sun rests while

Grey steady rain falls misting

Gracious thirsty green.

 

Art Prescription: Welcome to my new followers! I’m so glad you are here. Do you write haiku? If so email me and I’ll share.

A walk in a light rain reveals tulip and daffodil leaves peaking from the ground. Wrens and robins bouncing about. Fun to include that energy in art.

In the wind frogs sing

Grasses and leaves whisper spring

Spirit stirs the soul.

Art Prescription: Take a long walk and listen. At Mason Farm, our favorite place to nature walk, the cool breeze of winter is giving way to the mating calls of frogs. Each time we visit there is always something different happening. It’s a magical place.

Sam Dyer’s Haiku

Leaves rustle in time

To cool wind across my face

Spirit of spring near.

January blooms?

Forsythia, candy-tuffs

Is this nature’s tease?

Art Prescription: I always look forward to spring blossoms. This year it seems awful early to see my perennial favorites blooming in January. Take your sketch book out and record these 60 degree days of January.

Fragile curled brown leaves

Dangle from a branch full of

Spring buds popping out.

 

Art Prescription: The weather outside is delightful. January in North Carolina. The remaining leaves are brown and tattered, soon to make way for the growing buds on the branches. Drawing the abstract shapes of dry leaves is Zen. Try it!
