Cozy studio
Steady rain pelts roof, trees sway
A moment…deep sigh.
Art Prescription: Watching the rain fall, while I’m cozy and dry inside my studio is very peaceful. It’s the place where my dreams get to play!

Haiku June 16, 2013 Recycle
Recycled papers
Cut out like paper-dolls, make
A junk mail garden!
Art Prescription: Here’s a mate for my last “junk mail garden” piece. A fun way to recycle, cut your junk mail up into shapes and paste onto a surface. I’m using watercolor here. Paint and highlight your cut flowers, and draw some stems and leaves, and now you have a garden.
Haiku June 14, 2013 First Bloom
Hello Cosmo bloom
First to bust out, clouds grace sky
Pink Impatiens too!
Art Prescription: Lots of rain, lots of blooms.
Haiku June 13, 2013 Stormy
Calm after the storm
Sticks and branches litter street
All connections down.
Art Prescription: Quiet after last evenings storm. No television, and no internet…kind-of nice.
Haiku June 12, 2013 Time to Switch Hats
Many hats we wear
Many faces we put on
Many moods we feel.
Art Prescription: Human beings are complex! Can you just be you despite is all! Authentic!
Haiku June 7, 2013 Rain, rain, rain!!
Creatures of the creek
A buzz with activity
Water rolls, rushes.
Art Prescription: “Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” –Rumi
Haiku June 6, 2013 Redeeming Factor
Redeeming factor
Occurs daily, harmonic

Art Prescription: Sometimes you meet the right people at the right time and the right place!! Serendipity!!
Haiku June 5, 2013
Seconds tick on clock
I sway to the time, rocking
Black cat in my arms!
Art Prescription: We have three cats!! Each one has a very distinct personality and my days are filled with cat antics. Matisse, my big furry black cat, I think he has some Siamese traits, likes being held. He melts into my arms and will lay wilted with love until, with protest, I set him down.
Haiku June 3, 2013 Storm Front
Dark storm front sweeps in
Meadow moves, chaotic waves
June rain soaks garden.
Art Prescription: Watching a rolling storm front move in is miraculous. Clouds constantly changing, wind picks up, temperature drops. The smell of rain coming…quick…go inside! Downpour.
Haiku May 30, 2013 Fishing
Side by side they walk
One carries pole, other net
Summertime fishing.
Art Prescription: I have many fish tales from my summers at grandma’s. Not a worry in the world, we’d head off to a relative’s pond with a tub of earth worms and a bamboo pole. Truth is the last time I went fishing was when I “hooked” my date’s head…yep I set the hook!! Now my husband, we don’t fish. We rode back to Chapel Hill, hook and line in tow, to have a physician friend excise the hook. I guess my years of summers in the country, my attempt to show – see I’m an outdoors kind-of -girl, did not make a grand impression. He married me anyways!!
