Haiku April 26, 2013 Dragonflies

Buzzy things with wings

Fill the air showing off their

Aerodynamics!

Art Prescription:  As the weather warms there’s a lot more action in the air. Birds, bees, butterflies, and dragonflies! Here in North Carolina we have several different species of dragonflies…it’s fun to try and identify them. And oh yea, there’s the damselfly too!

Haiku April 20, 2013 Red Lipstick

Red lipstick, date night.

Brings her flowers, chardonnay

Dinner is homemade.

Art Prescription:  It’s Saturday night, and a late afternoon run to the grocery store reveals people with assorted agendas at the checkout. I’m cooking and sipping a lovely chardonnay…life is good.

Haiku April 17, 2013 Inch Worms

Inch-worm ornaments

Hang by silk thread from spring trees

Geometer moths.

Art Prescription:  These little worms are hitch-hikers. Next thing you know you have an inch worm on your shoulder. Carefully remove them and place them on a nearby leaf. They are on a journey to become Geometer Moths. A huge family of moths, around 35,000 species, and their colors vary from flat greys to vibrant pinks.

Haiku April 16, 2013 Hope

Hope is the thing with

Feathers. Did Emily know

How we would need this?

Art Prescription:  I’m working through my grief and helplessness over the recent tragedies. Though I try to be positive here on the Art Prescription, I also want to be genuine. My work today is an expression of this…be well…My chop, hand-made in China, says “Hope.”
