Haiku November 17, 2012 Evening in the Woods

Owl calls out from woods

Eyes acclimate as light fades

Birds announce days end.

Art Prescription:  Sam and I went for a late afternoon, almost evening, walk at Mason Farm. Lots of activity as the temperature drops and the sun sets with a dramatic pink sky!! As squirrels scurry to their nests, birds take last call, and the nocturnal world begins to wake.

Haiku November 14, 2012 Leaf Collage

Rich earth, woodsy smell

Steady shower of leaves fall

Ground collage takes shape.

Art Prescription:  An early walk in the woods is good for the soul! Standing there watching morning sunlight stream in as leaves dance and sway to the ground is magical. I felt for a moment, oh no! what if this were not here! So quiet and peaceful there…like no other place.

Haiku November 10, 2012 Seasonal Change

Red leaf nods to branch

Time for a change, carry on…

Days turn to weeks, months.

Art Prescription:  The most constant thing in life is change. Seasons change, people change, relationships change…Success in life often equals acceptance and gratitude. One day at a time. I had a lovely day! Taught an Art Prescription workshop and here are my demo pieces!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haiku November 4, 2012 Twisted

Spiral, twist, and turn

Double helix that is life

Deep in the fall woods!

Art Prescription:  Everyone needs favorite places. This painting, a new exciting size of watercolor blocks 4 x 10 ish, was created from a place near our home called The Farm. Lush woods and a bamboo forest. Pretty in all seasons! Find one thing that captures your eye and build around it.

Haiku October 18, 2012 Sketch Break!!

Light rain falls, grey sky

Sunset casts pink purple glow

Pumpkins smile on porch!

Art Prescription:  Busy day! Time for a quick sketch! Our days can easily get occupied by the demands of our jobs, family, etc. Taking a 10 minute break to sit quietly and look at the sunset, do a quick sketch, can bring peace and closure to an otherwise hectic day!!
