Calling on a ghost
I ask the past to visit
Yearning for my youth.
Art Prescription: I know…heavy. Seems Saturn has payed a visit. All good. A little self-reflection is a sign of growth. Hold on spring is coming.

Prelude February 2, 2014
Prelude to spring-time
Young tendrils prepare for launch
And the chase is on!!
Art Prescription: Nature knows…
Snow Day January 28, 2014
Weather forecast, snow
All day I look to the sky
Excuse for milk, bread?
Art Prescription: Okay, so I might wake up to a sea of white, but right now…I don’t see any snow!!! Since early morning the forecast for a winter storm has been all over television, radio, and Facebook. I did go to the grocery store for stamps, and they were out! Schools cancelled today. Many businesses closed early. Curious. Warm in my studio where I painted love birds.
Crows January 24, 2014
Two shiny black crows
Velvet against deep, hard frost
Scratch steel blades of grass.
Art Prescription: Crunch goes the ground.
Wizard of Oz January 21, 2014
Dorothy was right
No matter how far you roam,
There’s no place like home.
Art Prescription: Feeling much like a princess in a palace, I’m home!! Home with my creature comforts, and everything else that makes my heart sing.
Alabama Sun January 19, 2014
Alabama sun
Sets over sprawling flat land
Pink rings horizon.
Winter Birds January 8, 2014
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.
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!
Color Cure December 27, 2013
