Cool and steady mist
Partly cloudy for days now
On the edge of fall.
Art Prescription: Each day the trees have a bit more color. Nature patiently puts on her fall wardrobe.

Watercolor Wings September 30, 2013
A soothing series
Flitter, flutter, butterflies
Collection of wings!
Art Prescription: Taking a subject and doing multiples is skill building. You find out what works and what doesn’t, you can play with color, size, and composition. I’m doing these for a note card design for UNC Hospitals. Which one do you like?
Chasing Time September 26, 2013
The challenge of time
More to do than day permits
The grace of the flow.
Art Prescription: I like being busy!
New Friends September 24, 2013
New friends, like minded
Walk and talk as fall begins
A season for change.
Art Prescription: New friends…new perspective…change is good.
Magic Meadow September 23, 2013
Magic meadow wind
The breath of woodland fairies
Stay awhile, listen.
Art Prescription: We hiked both weekend days at Mason Farm, a local wildlife preserve close to home. It’s a spirit-filled place for both of us. A place to be still and quiet and listen to the wind.
Haiku September 9, 2013 Kindred
A kindred other
A look of knowing, no words
A bind of comfort.
Art Prescription: It’s really good to connect with others!
Haiku August 30, 2013 Courage To Change
Dog barks in distance
Low August sun warms shoulders
Pull rock from my shoe.
Art Prescription: How long have I walked with that rock in my shoe? Feeling one-sided, out of balance, slightly annoyed. I heard the constant click as my foot hit the path, but didn’t really stop to see what was there. Like most of life, we have to make a conscious decision to pay attention.
Ah, the decision cascade: If this, then that, and what if? And we limp along.
What if it was really as simple as taking the rock from your shoe and moving on one step at a time!!
ps. the rock will be fine, rocks have their place, that’s how they became rocks…you my friend have become water, dynamic and flowing!
August Rain August 21, 2013
Ah, cool August rain
Comes in on heals of thunder
Leaves air fresh and cool!
Art Prescription: This morning outdoors was a sauna. I was taking photos of new art, and the heat felt like a wet blanket. After a good rain, the air felt much cooler…went for a nice walk.
Art Prescription August 20, 2013 Flowers Wane
Quiet except crunch
Of early fallen brown leaves
Flowers start to wane.
Art Prescription: I’m noticing now on my walks there are scattered fallen leaves on the path…fall starts her subtle nuance.
Art Prescription August 16, 2013 Do It!
Do it for yourself!
Run, walk, swim, just get moving
You are powerful!!
Art Prescription: Give your brain a boost! I’m not a runner, envious of my friends who are, but I like to swim and know that I get an endorphin dose from that! Celebrate your body!
