Asking for a sign
Spot an Evening Grosbeak
She waits for me now.
Art Prescription: Sometimes the good stuff has to wait. Has to wait to pay the mortgage, has to wait to pay college tuition, has to wait to pay the grocery bill…has to wait. I have a lovely Evening Grosbeak waiting for me to paint her. I will get there…for now a purple sketch.
Passion February 19, 2014
The word passion means
“To be affected.” Basic
Energy of soul.
Art Prescription: Do you pay attention to your passions? Those things that “affect” you. What gives you energy? What takes it away? Are you being true to yourself?
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.
Near Hawk Visit February 17, 2014
Through binoculars
I sight movement in the trees
Hawk at my shoulder!!
Art Prescription: Today’s haiku is momentarily interrupted for a near hawk encounter. I was writing about Mourning Doves…when through my binoculars I caught a glimpse of something in the trees. I searched, but no find. Turned to walk and right there!!! over my left shoulder sat a big hawk. He/she looked at me and I startled…I mean really jumped it was that close! Then I just got quiet and watched. I wondered why this winged beauty was braving my presence. The hawk took off then to join a mate…

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.
February Owl February 15, 2014
Perched in a pine bough
She turns and looks straight at me
February owl.
Art Prescription: On my evening walk I saw a hawk-shaped silhouette. Imagine my surprise and joy when I zoomed in with my binoculars and saw it to be a young owl. Owl medicine…

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.
