Dark and cool outside
First light, daybreak, the world turns
Sweet birds morning song.
Art Prescription: There are a few things worth getting up in the dark for…

Young Birds September 16, 2014
Young fledge, cardinal
Peep, peep, peep, peep, persistent
Momma demonstrates.
Art Prescription: Adults are still bringing their off-spring to eat on my deck. The fledglings do their best to continue the easy route. Momma feed me. The parents show them how to peck, scratch, and eat.
Symbols of Life September 13, 2014
Trees, symbols of life
Change gracefully through seasons
Steady giant friends.
Art Prescription: I love to paint trees! This one is 7 feet tall and will go to UNC Hospitals for patients and families to add leaves.
Mini Treats September 12, 2014
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
A Day Off September 11, 2014
Place where time stands still
Gentle wind rolls across field
Horses graze on grass.
Art Prescription: Took my sketchbook and big old sun hat out to Blue Skies today. Took a chair and sat in the paddock, being part of the herd. So hot. They were fine to just let me be there. We know you and you are okay to hang-out with us. They stood lazy, swishing their tails against the flies, sun on their strong backs.
Road Trip September 9, 2014
September road tour
Bus leaves summer, next stop fall
Bags packed with color.
Art Prescription: Is the bus going to leave without you? Kicking and screaming…summer’s not over!!! I love the change of season. Another miniature piece. Artist trading card size.
Bear Medicine September 8, 2014
Soft fur, round brown eyes
Hibernates in the winter
Fiercely protective.
Art Prescription: As the season steadily changes, so do I. The days are getting shorter. I look forward to cozy socks and fires.
Tending the Thoughts September 7, 2014
Negative thoughts, weeds
Can wrap, wind around your heart
Suffocating growth.
Art Prescription: So I did a little gardening today…actually a lot of gardening. Seems I’ve let my weeds get a bit out of control. Natures gentle lesson to remind me to tend my thoughts. Pen and ink, watercolor pencil on watercolor paper.
Zen Garden September 6, 2014
Japanese garden
Cool stones, ponder in the shade
Pebbles like water.
Art Prescription: We went to the J C Raulston Arboretum today in Raleigh. Pretty place. Lots of different styled gardens. Need to go back with sketchbook. Watercolor pencil on a strip of watercolor paper.
Scribble Tree August 8, 2014
Scars, blemishes, wounds
We all have them, our chapters,
Like trees we grow up
Art Prescription: Here is a total stress relieving piece. Colored pencil scribbled on a 3 x 5 index card. It’s really all about the process, not the end picture. Ahhhh….feel better now.
