Roads white with snow, ice
Long walk to grocery store
Sleet clicks on bamboo!
Art Prescription: So cool to stand quietly under a canopy of bamboo and listen to the sleet click, click, tap, tap.

Haiku January 18, 2013 Prism
Icy limb glimmers
Prism of greens, blue, and red
Flash, pure violet!
Art Prescription: An early morning moment with the sun!
Haiku December 25, 2012 Peace on Earth
A voice sang from woods
Peace on earth, goodwill to man
Many answered call!!
Art Prescription: Beautiful Christmas day here in North Carolina. Spent it with my soul-mate walking in the woods, doing a Christmas day bird count, and a bit of sketching…bliss…shear bliss. I highly recommend it. This new year go out and buy yourself a sketchbook. Simply take notice of your surroundings. Especially when you are too busy…just ten minutes of joy and a change in brain chemistry!
Haiku December 20, 2012 Winter Peace
Winter rain, not snow
Tap, tap, taps, on my jacket
Peaceful halos, light.
Art Prescription: I’ve always loved the way light gets reflected in the rain. Even a stoplight on a rainy or misty night creates a wonderful prism of color on the street, a painting!
Haiku December 1, 2012 Luminarios
Luminary night
Silent streets lined with candles
Holiday season!
Art Prescription: Our neighborhood does an annual luminary night. A chance for everyone to celebrate their holiday of choice, and come together as one to light the streets with candles. It’s serenely beautiful!
Haiku November 30, 2012 Fire Sky
Fire in the sky
Panoramic scarlet glow
Drama chases sun!
Art Prescription: Always pause for beauty! In the midst of setting up for my Open Studio, which is tomorrow! I noticed the back-glow of the sunset. I went around the house to watch the show! Gasp! Even caught a few geese going by.
Haiku November 29, 2012 Frost
Winter frost glistens
Shiny silver frozen dew
A white coverlet!
Art Prescription: Heavy freeze overnight. The lawn almost looked like snow, so thick with frost. Yep, it’s winter. What attracts your muse in the winter? Share with us!
Haiku November 25, 2012 Leaf Quilt
Beneath the leaf quilt
Wildflowers wait patiently
While winter performs!
Art Prescription: Even though the woods seem very quiet now, how nice, there is always a lot going on underneath the surface. Don’t let the cold keep you indoors. Put on a scarf, big coat, and mittens, and go out into nature! A red cardinal sitting on a winter branch is stunning!
Haiku November 21, Acorn
Cutest little cap
A seed that holds a whole oak
The modest acorn.
Art Prescription: Big things come in little packages, like hope, joy, and giving thanks!!
Haiku November 20, 2012 Solitude
Alone, not lonely
Shear peacefulness, quiet bliss
Hear your own footsteps!
Art Prescription: Do you enjoy being alone? I do. Even more so when the world is whirling away at the speed of light. I love it so quiet that the only thing I hear are the squirrels chattering, the birds chirping, and the crunch of leaves under each step! and the swish of my paint brush!
