December bird count
Binoculars, sketchbook, time
Five miles of shear bliss!!
Art Prescription: Yes! I am a total bird geek. Love watching these colorful, delightful, big-brown eyed beings as they dance, prance, look for food, pick berries, or fly from tree to tree. Here is my sketchbook list from Christmas Day:

A voice sang from woods
Peace on earth, goodwill to man
Many answered call!!
Art Prescription: Beautiful Christmas day here in North Carolina. Spent it with my soul-mate walking in the woods, doing a Christmas day bird count, and a bit of sketching…bliss…shear bliss. I highly recommend it. This new year go out and buy yourself a sketchbook. Simply take notice of your surroundings. Especially when you are too busy…just ten minutes of joy and a change in brain chemistry!
Precious memories
Hear your grandparent’s voices
Rituals comfort.
Art Prescription: Voices from the past visit. Life is rich…and life is long.
First day of winter
Wind whips, whistles at window
Temperatures plunge!!
Art Prescription: A low in the 20’s! Well it is the first day of winter! Winter Solstice, also known as Yule, Midwinter, and the Longest Night is indeed the longest night. From here forward the nights shorten and the days lengthen setting off nature’s internal clocks for spring. It’s the most Yin day of the year! Both the astronomical and cultural history of this date are interesting, and Mayans willing and the creek don’t rise, I’ll be back tomorrow!
Winter rain, not snow
Tap, tap, taps, on my jacket
Peaceful halos, light.
Art Prescription: I’ve always loved the way light gets reflected in the rain. Even a stoplight on a rainy or misty night creates a wonderful prism of color on the street, a painting!
The circle of life
Fresh greenery, red berries
Adorn home and hearth.
Art Prescription: A friend gave me a beautiful fresh handmade wreath today! a circle of North Carolina flora!
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!
