Haiku April 5, 2013 Rhythm of Life

Water feels like silk

Relish the quiet, just swim

Rhythm of the pool.

Art Prescription:  Loud people and places drain me. After a while of sensory overload I feel you could bounce a quarter off my skin. The perfect antidote to re-balance myself is a swim! The steady strokes and silence of the water soothes my nervous system. And of course – expressive art journaling!

just be you

 

Haiku April 2, 2013 Verve

New watercolor

Turquoise! Verve! blend of blue-green

A vase of flowers!

Art Prescription:  I went to my favorite art-store today for canvases for a project I’m doing for UNC Hospitals. Of course no art-store expedition is complete without buying a new paint color! I bought a luscious turquoise and viola…flowers!

Haiku March 24, 2013 Rain Hike

Rainy day nature

Sharp wind blows umbrella up!

Peaceful, creek babbles.

Art Prescription:  Even on a grey, windy, rainy, cold, day, I need to get out and convene with nature! Nature walking in the rain is actually quiet soothing. Droplets pitter-patter your umbrella, everything smells fresh, and the sounds of water running downstream is musical.
