Hope hangs in a tree
A fun message of surprise
Random acts of art!
Art Prescription: Me and my accomplice did an art drop today….secret place. My hope is that a person who needs it most, will find a little piece of art to make them smile!

Come In My Muse June 2, 2014
Pause, ponder, produce
The muse, her senses keen, waits
Open door, “Come in.”
Art Prescription: So my good friend Farley said to me today, “pause, ponder, produce.” I just adore that. I invite you to do the same!! And let your muse in to “pause, ponder, produce.” Aho!
Dragonflies June 1, 2014
Big fat dragonflies
Wings flicker in sun over
Turtles on a log.
Art Prescription: It was very “buzzy” at Mason Farm today. Lots of winged insects. Dragonflies big as birds, well, almost. Watercolor pencil on 3 x 5 notecard illustration.
Summer Heat May 30, 2014
After you’ve been hot
A cool breeze in the blue shade
Rushes your body.
Art Prescription: Summer is here. Sultry heat, humidity, shorts and tees, hot bright sun. There is always a little relief under a big tree with a breeze.
Spray It May 29, 2014
Spray it with color
Wine tastes like watermelon!
Both need newspaper!!
Art Prescription: Remember eating watermelon and spitting the seeds out! Did your grandmother put a big piece of newspaper under the juicy watermelon? My day in a haiku!!
Simply Love May 28, 2014
Out beyond the gate
I find my breath, deep and full
On a white mare’s back.
Art Prescription: Rode Lacey today! Some ring work…my trot a little better…and then off into the woods and corn-fields. Lean forward going up-hill and lean back going down hill. I try to let her rhythm carry my body. Trust, let go and breathe. Folks this is big.
Gerber Daisy May 25, 2014
Gerber daisy wow!
A sea of velvet petals
In every hue.
Art Prescription: Any garden shop is a canvas for a floral artist. Nature makes colors we mortals attempt to match. It would be a fun challenge to mix and match each color of this photo. So many shades of pink, red, and yellow…a good learning exercise.
Split Personality May 23, 2014
Two worlds, artist, nurse
Some days my hat does not fit
Either, want to rest!
Art Prescription: I’ve been weaving my two worlds of nursing and art together for about 10 years…maybe 11…or all my life…which came first? I love both in many ways. Often it’s the transition that is hardest. What hats do you wear? Which hat fits you best? Fits your spirit?
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.
May Sketchbook May 18, 2014
Wetland habitat
Turtles lined up on swamp logs
Osprey tends her brood.
Art Prescription: A bird watching hike to Tobacco Road Trail. The trail head is near Jordan Lake wetlands. Lots to see there…and in my own backyard. Sketchbook…pen and ink.
