Hand-sewn Quilt April 19, 2014
Grandma’s hand-sewn quilt
Cold and rainy April day
Three cats, one hubby.
Art Prescription: Today was a day for cuddling. I’m blessed to have many hand-made quilts. Both sets of grandparents were quilters, so after a busy week the Dyer family all piled into bed under one and took a nap…bliss! Watercolor sketch on a 3 x 5 index card.

Divine Guidance April 16, 2014

Not a cloud in the blue sky

Kindness Rules April 10, 2014
Turn signal keeps time
Traffic whirls by, horns come in
Rush hour music.
Art Prescription: Everyone is in such a rush. Tempers flare…people lose sight of what’s important in life. For what? Money? Power? …Kindness goes a lot further.
Choose Love April 9, 2014
Where the sky is wide
Freshly plowed fields, deep orange
That’s where horses run.

Rushed Blooms April 8, 2014
In a rush to bloom
Flowers wait all winter long
For a few sweet days.
Art Prescription: Sound familiar? We rush to be 16, and then we rush to be 21, and we rush to get through school and “start” our life. Don’t know about you…but these days I want to savor the moment.
