See the winter sun.

Girly Stuff February 3, 2015
Muddy boots under
A red velvet dress, kick-up
Halo around moon.

Journal Prompt February 2, 2015
Quite simply where will
Lonely dreaming take you now?
No need for a map.
Art Prescription: I recently heard a talk about boredom. Because we are all so plugged in constantly, we allow no time for loneliness or boredom. And boredom may be where great ideas come from!! The mind, quiet from distraction, listens to the creator within. Voila! A dream is born…

Bird Style February 1, 2015

Chickadees sneak seed, fly off

Too tired to write
I glue a few odds and ends
My mind a great fog.

From the vault…
And the Sky is Grey January 29, 2015
Familiar song
Spring dreaming on winter’s day

This is a watercolor tree in progress.
Shopping January 27, 2015
City-fide red tail
Hawk perches on the mall sign
Beware country mice!
Art Prescription: Attention K-Mart shoppers…there’s a blue-light special on isle four. It always interests me how crowded the mall is on a week-day (yes I went to Target), and how generously American shoppers let go of their dollars. Need, want, have…

What are You Chasing? January 26, 2015
Running down a dream
We chase money, fame, fortune
Chance to simply bloom.
Art Prescription: To be at peace with yourself is to be at peace with others…What are we chasing? A flower plans a whole year just to bloom, if only for one day…

Birds Watch January 25, 2015
Birds watch the sunset
High atop forest, beaks turn
And the moon joins them.
Art Prescription: A late afternoon walk at Mason Farm. A cute little Oven Bird sits proudly on a branch and watches the moon rise.
