And right then she knew
That saying No was the best
For self-protection.
Art Prescription: Are you a “yes” Person? Always taking on more? running yourself tired for others?
It’s really nice to help others. It feels good to give.

Around forest floor
Spring ephemerals emerge
Delicate petals.
Art Prescription: hiked the North Carolina Botanical Garden trails today with my sketchbook.
I sketched with pen and ink and added watercolor pencil at home.
Art/nature journal:
A little random
Life gives you unexpected
You rise to meet it.
Art Prescription: Working with horses is teaching me so many things!
Rising to meet the energy of a horse is one lesson!

Sometimes you need Ox
To plant seeds for the future
Strong bull medicine.

Just a little brush painting with birds…
A stand of white pears
Trees bloom with exuberance
Loud announcement! spring!

Celebrate!
I’m always humbled to paint a tree for UNC Hospitals.
This tree will be used during a service to help staff and family honor their loss.
I’ll cut pretty rice paper leaves for people to write a message, and then be collaged onto tree.
Acrylic 18 x 24:
He drove two hours
To get a weeping cherry
Planted it with love.
Art Prescription:
My one and only brother searched our local area for a weeping cherry tree.
I’ve wanted one since our dad died when I was 8 and he was 6.
When I went out to leave home there he was digging a hole and planting a new tree.
Art journal:
It’s within your reach
Set your mind to it and go
Grab what you want now.
