Haiku June 15, 2013 Country Lane

Ride to the country.

Urban sprawl, once rich farm fields,

Tobacco, corn, soy.

Art Prescription:  We took a day trip down to our very good friend’s “country house.” The old homestead is close to where my grandmother used to live, so a bit of a drive down country lane. What used to be rows and rows of crop is now rows and rows of houses and apartments. Once you are out far enough the familiar fields begin to stretch across the blue, cloudless sky. I love seeing meadows with ponds and horses, cows grazing, and old red barns!

Haiku June 11, 2013 Tweedle

Tweets, chirps, caws, tweedles.

Fresh out of nest, kids holler

Shake and flap for food!

Art Prescription:  Seems everywhere I look I see a youngster begging for food. Diligently, the parents feed and teach, here’s how you dig for yourself.

Haiku June 10, 2013 Wedding Season

June, wedding season

Months of planning, bride’s surprise

And so it begins!

Art Prescription:  And hopefully for a long married life! Planning and orchestrating a wedding is a big deal. A fun, happy, albeit stressful occasion, for the biggest celebration of your life. Here’s my latest wedding invite design.

Haiku June 8, 2013 Magnolia

Grand magnolias

Scent historical gardens

Century old trees.

Art Prescription:  We rode our bikes to a historic property that has been transformed into a school of business here at UNC. The property has an air of elegance, and I love how they turned the old horse stables and pool into a modern day retreat. The formal gated garden contains the graves of the late, late owners…serene.
