Two thousand thirteen
Slips cooly out the back-door
All is calm and bright!
Art Prescription: For some the holiday season comes to a roaring halt, moms and dads exhausted, children over-stimulated and cranky, people wishing they were really HOME for the holidays. Okay, I’m not bah-humbug. I just think simple is better. Peace is good…
Creeks covered with ice
Squirrels scurry with leaves up tree
To pad winter nest.
Art Prescription: It’s cold. Fun to watch squirrels gathering leaves in their mouths and darting up trees to pad their nest. Suppose that’s what we are all doing this time of year…
Love lights up the home
Grocery carts groan plenty
Making spirits bright1
Art Prescription: Many thoughts of how plentiful my life is. Sending love out to those who are lonely and less fortunate during the holiday season. May the blue bird of hope fly into your life.
Wind rattles dried leaves
Bare branches click together
Cold rain front moves in.
Art Prescription: A very strange warm weekend for December. A front with rain brings winter back.
Little cotton-tail
Rabbit bolts, leaps, darts, zig-zags
White blur, brown thicket.
Art Prescription: Winter Solstice? Feels like spring instead. Temperature about 70 degrees. And bunnies, who are usually cuddled up in brambles, are out hopping.
With drama the sun
Makes her entry, bold pink swaths
Lullabies the moon.
Art Prescription: Tomorrow is the longest night of the year and shortest day. Early this morning I observed the sun and the moon biding adieu to each other.
Patience is virtue
Time, precious privilege
Lucky to have both!
Art Prescription: Most people don’t have both…actually lucky to have one or the other. In our ramped up society, seems most folks are racing with the clock, hurry-up, hurry-up. Do we waste our days rushing through?
Down on the horse farm
Fresh air and work and horse pets
Body works, mind rests.
Art Prescription: Went out to the farm today to work…farm work…get dirty, use your muscles, wear high boots work!! And I loved it. Reward…grooming a couple of dirty winter coats, and taking in the senses that is a farm!!
Words for everyday
Think them and say them aloud
Kiss, hello, good-bye!
Art Prescription: Research shows mates who kiss each other hello and good-by live longer. Okay, I made that up, but it is all that!!
A rose is a rose
And how you view it is art!
Speak your own true voice!
Art Prescription: One of my favorite things about art is the experience of people taking a subject and making it true to their spirit. While working on watercolor roses today, my friend Farley Bernholz, took it to a whole new level. Go Farley! Now this is expressive!!!
