Hop, peck, defend seed
Antics of winter wild birds
Sunflower seed…gone!
Art Prescription: I, and my cats, love watching winter birds pecking and hopping away for black sunflower seed.

Jump for Joy January 5, 2014
Shrill shrieks of laughter
Neighbor’s backyard trampoline
Winter jump for joy!!
Art Prescription: A trampoline is a kid magnet….they have so much fun!
“Happy” New Year January 1, 2014
Caught a falling seed
Held it for a while, the wind
Swept it off my palm.
Art Prescription: Just go with the flow…take it to the river.
Resolution Time December 29, 2013
Resolution time
The rain stops, blue skies appear
And just like that, change!
Art Prescription: It’s the time of year when people start taking stock of their lives, and begin to think about new beginnings…change. Why not just live the life you want 365 days? You are beautiful just the way you are! Now live that!!!
Holiday Blues December 28, 2013
Got holiday blues?
Cope with creativity!
Draw, paint, write, journal!
Art Prescription: As the year comes to close I come full circle with the intention of the Art Prescription. Creativity is healing. Making art boosts your feel good hormones and makes your immune system stronger. So…while you are making your new years resolution list…add something creative, like keeping a daily journal. Go ahead. Buy something pretty and just start! It will do your spirit good!
Feather Your Nest December 25, 2013
Creeks covered with ice
Squirrels scurry with leaves up tree
To pad winter nest.
Art Prescription: It’s cold. Fun to watch squirrels gathering leaves in their mouths and darting up trees to pad their nest. Suppose that’s what we are all doing this time of year…
Winter Cold Front December 22, 2013
Wind rattles dried leaves
Bare branches click together
Cold rain front moves in.
Art Prescription: A very strange warm weekend for December. A front with rain brings winter back.
Winter Solstice December 21, 2013
Little cotton-tail
Rabbit bolts, leaps, darts, zig-zags
White blur, brown thicket.
Art Prescription: Winter Solstice? Feels like spring instead. Temperature about 70 degrees. And bunnies, who are usually cuddled up in brambles, are out hopping.
Cold Rain December 9, 2013
Cold misty rain walk
Sun gone for days, it’s winter
Dream garden pleasures.
Art Prescription: Cold and dark…ugh. Course I do like the silhouettes of the winter trees. Still can’t help but paint flowers.
Unseasonable December 6, 2013
Unseasonable
Want to wear sweaters not tees
Too warm December!
