Fresh open window
September butterflies flit
A leaf or two falls.

V Day February 14, 2017
Cuddle, laugh, repeat
Go on long hikes in the woods
Make morning coffee.
Art Prescription: Love is simple…love is kind…

Doors July 26, 2016
Doors beckon us in
Whether real or in our minds
What’s on other side?
Art Prescription: Is there a lock? Are we afraid? Are we brave? Are we curious? Do we want change? Well…

Choice July 25, 2016
The power of choice
To live without the reruns
Move forward in joy!
Art Prescription: Every day we are offered choices on how we want to live our days…and how we live our days is how we live our lives. One day at a time I choose to move forward in joy! Wanna come?

Spring! May 6, 2016
Hey, wake up it’s spring
Fast, furious thunder-storms
Birds bathe in run-off.
Art Prescription: Caught in a down-pour today, home wet. And thankful for natures reassuring rhythms.

Nature Journal May 2, 2016
A paper bird’s nest
Nature journal style study
Tear, glue, draw, and paint.
Art Prescription: So fun to work spontaneously with my art buddies! As we talked, our hands moved and art was made.

Saturdays March 19, 2016
Steam rises from cup
My morning is slow, leisure
French toast with my mate.
Art Prescription: Isn’t it lovely to have a slow morning? No rushing or appointments, running out the door with yogurt in hand. Time to sit with a cat or two in my lap, and watch the birds.
Little bit nippy, but I did head out to my studio to paint…

Shed November 1, 2015
As the trees shed leaves
So begins winter season
Birds sing renewal.
Art Prescription: As we begin the season of Yin, going into the darker days, I have a sense of renewal. Cleaning the clutter from the year…preparing for the holidays and my open studio.

Judges October 26, 2015
Sitting in judgment
The five ladies brood and mope
The Peacock shows out.
Art Prescription: Funny what comes to mind while painting. And I’ll show you some proud peacock later…

Fall Posy October 25, 2015
Freshly cut flowers
Seems trees have changed overnight
Mason Jar posy.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky here in North Carolina that flowers continue to bloom on through October. We haven’t had that first cold frost yet. So I happily plucked a Mason Jar full of flowers and set about to watercolor them. Makes me about as happy as anything…
