Years end reflection
Light, shadow dance on water
A drop ripples out.
Art Prescription: As the year comes to a close it seems human nature to reflect. Each day, every movement, our thoughts, ripple out and effect our lives. Art and creativity can help channel emotion, bring us joy, and raise healthy brain chemicals! Go on now…start that project!!
Friendship! A vessel
To share woes and joys, lifetime
Lift a glass in cheer!
Art Prescription: This is the time of the year to celebrate all we have to be grateful for!! I’m so lucky to have great friends who trade the woes and joys of life. Life is a roller-coaster! We all experience the ups and downs, the long clicks up the hill…and the exhilarating ride, thrilling…the tenacious curves…and the moment when we catch our breath, and go on to the next ride. Life is ever-changing…put on your seat-belt!! and make sure your best friend is along for the ride!
Dark winter branches
Reach up. A perch for red birds
Proud presentation!
Art Prescription: The stark contrast of a red cardinal against grey winter skies bequest admiration!
Lamps adorned with bows
Round wreaths hang from window seals
Festive lights twinkle.
Art Prescription: Christmas in USA.
Ocean rolls in, melts
Eases to calm sound ripples
Current swirls beneath.
Art Prescription: Walked to the end of the island today where the ocean meets the sound. I left a Haiku O Gram there!!
Steady waves crest white
Bubble and foam, make landfall
Gulls huddle for warmth!
Art Prescription: Here in North Carolina we are four hours from the mountains and 3 from the beach. Both directions make an excellent winter escape!! I think for right now my spirit needs the steady, rhythmic, reassuring sound of the ocean. Peace.
Red poinsettia
Dark green leaves, velvet blossom
Holiday symbol!
Art Prescription: At this time of the year the stores are full of red and white showy poinsettias. A seasonal find, a must have decorative touch for the holidays.
Barefoot December
Holiday red toes step out
Winter sky, warm ground!
Art Prescription: So I really walked barefoot to and from my studio today…winter!?! Nice but confusing. I’m ready to wear sweat-shirts and fuzzy socks and have the fire going!!!
Coffee, freshly ground
Warm cup of java with cream
Morning moment, bliss!
Art Prescription: Small wonderful moments make up the whole of life! Cheers!
Meow howl for chow
Long lick both chops, clean face, purr
Repeat twice a day!
Art Prescription: We have cats! Three! I’d love a dog too, but for now the cats rule! Artist throughout history have studied the long and graceful lines of cat behavior. My favorite is Steinlen! If you have pets they are perfect for gestural sketching…try and capture the essence of dog or cat -itude!
