Exclamation mark!
A black and white bird, rose-breast
Evening Grosbeak.
Art Prescription: If you read my blog, you’ve seen a couple of renditions of this Evening Grosbeak. I learned from my previous paintings, and am pleased with this outcome.

Puppy February 21, 2014
New parent training
Four legs, boundless energy
A black lab puppy!
Art Prescription: After two busy days at my RN job, I was delighted to meet Molly!! Two young parents brave their first, “she only wakes us up once.”
Mourning Doves February 18, 2014
Creamy morning dove
High in tree top late day sun
Coos softly for mate.
Art Prescription: Caught a glimpse of a creamy-white breast of a mourning dove. Warm afternoon sun just right. Coos, reminiscent of summers at my grandmother’s pond.
Snow Melts February 16, 2014
Snow recedes, gives way
To green and the sounds of spring
Cardinals call out.
Art Prescription: It’s chilly, and the birds are singing the winter blues. They know spring is around the corner.
Snow and Birds February 13, 2014
Gentle falls the snow
Birds perch, shake off now and then
Sunflower seed, gone!
Art Prescription: Lovely snow and lucky my job does not require me to leave my cozy nest. When I worked as a nurse in the hospital, I used to go no matter what. Thank you to all the workers who are out there trying to keep people safe. The beautiful colors of the birds stands out against the stark white. Here is a sketch I will color tomorrow…stay tuned.
Planning February 10, 2014
Start here, end up there
Brain thinks, spirit takes over
Expressive painting!!
Art Prescription: Sometimes the best thing is to take brush and paint to paper!! You may not be creating a work of art. You may be doing your body, mind, and spirit some good by just letting go. Expressive painting increases your immune system. Now go…and let.
Mind Garden February 6, 2014
February sun
Six B graphite, smooth and dark
Spring blooms on paper.
Art Prescription: The blooms in my mind take me through February. Get your pencils out and let graphite glide across your paper!!
Window to my Heart February 5, 2014
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.
