Guess everyone is in need of getting outside.
Our usual quiet trail that leads to the back waters of Jorden Lake was packed with bikers, joggers, and walkers.
Sam got a few nice photos of Red-headed Woodpeckers.
Not sure what these will be…Maybe secret art drops…
Steady, cold, wet, rain
Tree limbs bow low, water logged
Warm, dry, studio
Art Prescription: About froze at the barn this morning. Finn was soaked.
Home to dry clothes and worked on Ramses paintings for an order.
Rain pours down, sideways
Umbrella threatens to flip
Inside out with wind.
Art Prescription: Here in NC we’ve had a nice long cool spring. So nice.
I drove to three stores today to find hoops for my Stitch Kits. Ended up at JoAnn Fabric and waited in line outside with my mask and gloves. Only so many people in the store at one time.
Since I was there I picked up a couple of new fat quarters of fabric.
Next design: a bird:
Sun shines through window
Wake… what day is it…hello
Coffee is ready.
Art Prescription: Anyone else feeling disoriented? Without a schedule? What day is it?
Early walk at Mason Farm. Saw a Fly Catcher.

Fairy purveyors
A skill to be developed
Journal for records.
Art Prescription: If you aren’t keeping a fairy journal during these times, then you are missing out on magic.
Serious fairy hunters know keeping records is a must. Fairies are of course mysterious.
Local fairies have provided journals for those on the look out for all good among all people.
Don’t take personal
Words or actions from others
It’s their perspective.
Art Prescription: So often we allow the words of others bother us. Usually it’s all about them…
Fabric collage with quote and improv stitching:
None of us know now
What life is going to be
Wading through water.
Art Prescription: So we go about our days staying afloat.
Fabric collage on vintage wallpaper:
Pull, weed, dig, and sweat
No glamorous white gloves here
New flowers, worth it!
Art Prescription: So my bee balm has run its course. I made space for a new flower garden that will delight me until fall.
Index card:
As the trees shed leaves
So begins winter season
Birds sing renewal.
Art Prescription: As we begin the season of Yin, going into the darker days, I have a sense of renewal. Cleaning the clutter from the year…preparing for the holidays and my open studio.
Index card with Sumi-ink:
Sitting in judgment
The five ladies brood and mope
The Peacock shows out.
Art Prescription: Funny what comes to mind while painting. And I’ll show you some proud peacock later…
