Haiku May 22, 2013 Programed to Bloom

Programed to bloom pink

Roses explode with spring glee

Blush with rich color!!

Art Prescription:  The garden is taking off now…roses, phlox, Gerber daisies! The roses are always so fresh. We cut them and bring them inside to enjoy their natural perfume. What’s blooming in your yard?

Haiku May 14, 2013 Surtex

Countdown to Surtex

So I dig, plant annuals

Get myself grounded.

Art Prescription:  I leave in a couple of days for Surtex in New York. I’m both excited and nervous. I’ve done this show a few times, but every year it all feels new. Along with Surtex is the National Stationery Show, the Contemporary Furniture Show, and this year an arts and crafts section which I’m thrilled to see. I do love home though, so today I worked a bit planting my garden so I have peace to come back to!

Haiku May 13, 2013 Double Helix

Twirl! Double helix.

Life winds itself in and out

Meets back in middle!

Art Prescription:  Final workshop today in this series of Art Prescription Art Journaling. Thanks to a great group!! That and a walk with a friend got me thinking about relationships and how they spiral in and out. Two people constantly changing and hopefully, in a marriage or partnership, they spiral back together as one for a while! Each person being whole and living life, intertwined with another. Life is grand, and oh so fun to share!!

Haiku May 12, 2013 The Lesson

Unmistakable

The universal language

A mother and child.

Art Prescription: It doesn’t matter which language is spoken, the caring guidance of a mother is universally understood. Research shows all humans use the same tone when talking to babies. Mothers seek with gentle love to keep their children safe, healthy, and happy. They hurt when you hurt, soar when you soar, and are always there to encourage you to be the best you can possibly be!! Thanks, Mom! I love you!
