I forgo my voice
Trying to sing like others
My throat trembles truth.
Art Prescription: Why does it always take so long to circle back around to our truths?

Squirrel Proof June 16, 2014
Feed the birds, funny!
My stealth-like acrobatics
Houdini rodent.
Art Prescription: Steamer of a day. While out watering my plants I watched the antics of my local squirrel friend. These “tree-rats” are clever, and anyone who has purchased a squirrel proof feeder knows they pretty much wasted their money. So, I just feed everyone.
Farm Sketching May 20, 2014
Laundry flaps in wind
Mares graze, tall grass, buttercups
Afternoon at farm.
Art Prescription: I sit and watch…observe their ears, their eyes, their tales as they swish at flies. They know I’m there. One of the most joyful things about sketching is simply the art of observation. I notice the sights, sounds, and smells of my surroundings. I get still and take it all in.
Country Pond May 19, 2014
Wild irises grow
On the edge of country pond
Baby ducks waddle.
Art Prescription: An evening walk around our neighborhood pond…relaxing. And I see a duck with 10 ducklings trailing behind her. I hope to get some sketches of this fowl family. For now, the purple wild irises hold my attention. Pen and ink in sketchbook.
Horse Trail Ride April 23, 2014
Through long green grass fields
Into the woods, by cows, geese,
Trail ride perfection!
Art Prescription: Spring experienced on the back of a horse is bliss. Look down and see wildflowers at their feet. Watch their ears and eyes as they take it all in. You are on their back and they carry you with each step, mutual trust!
Cocoon April 18, 2014
Out of the cocoon
She unfolds her brand new wings
And takes her first flight.
Art Prescription: Something to aim for…
Small Town America April 12, 2014
Small town atmosphere
Kids, dogs, Saturday shoppers
Work hard and play hard.
Art Prescription: I did an art show today in Hillsborough, NC. What a picture perfect day. Sunshine, breeze, and people enjoying being a part of their neighborhood. One couple bought a piece they are taking to England. A young woman bought several pieces for her new home in Efland, NC, and another who is engaged to be married, picked up 3 works for her anticipated new life in Kansas! Lovely to meet my customers and see my art find homes!
Change is Hard April 11, 2014
Blue birds build their nest
Creature instinct. I muster
The courage to change.
Art Prescription: Change is hard and sometime necessary. Be honest to your heart.
Spring Births February 27, 2014
Spring breeds brand new life
Nature calls, soft nests are made
Someone enters world.
Art Prescription: Spring!
Mourning Doves February 18, 2014
Creamy morning dove
High in tree top late day sun
Coos softly for mate.
Art Prescription: Caught a glimpse of a creamy-white breast of a mourning dove. Warm afternoon sun just right. Coos, reminiscent of summers at my grandmother’s pond.
