Sweet…the Friday air
Essence of white pear blossom
Neighborhood cat sleeps.
Art Prescription: Set out to sketch wildflowers, but found the neighborhood cat asleep on my deck.

Spring March 20, 2014
She makes grand entrance
The star of the show appears
Curtains open, spring!!
Art Prescription: So happy to see the sun coming up this morning. I can see why after days with no sun, ancient civilizations began to worry. A large star indeed!
Quiet Woods March 18, 2014
My steps and tree frogs
Miniature waterfalls
Only sounds in woods.
Art Prescription: It is too quiet in the woods for a March day. After another wintry weather day, the creek is full and there is a steady drip-drop off the trees. Wet, cold, misty…why would anyone be out bird-watching!! I scan the trees for owls!! Saw a hawk and a cute little Kinglet.
March Lion March 17, 2014
March lion spits ice
Daffodils hang their heads low
With disappointment.
Art Prescription: Seems March’s lion is having a final roar!! Snow and sleet. And still I walk and look at what nature has to offer. Nodding daffodils…
Garden March 15, 2014
Pansy bed, new thyme
Dig, clip, prune, plant, and water
Spring garden arrives!
Art Prescription: Planting for spring sketching!! A whole new bed of pansies and violas!! Also added rosemary and thyme for tasty spring cooking. Markers on a 3 x 5 index card.
Evening Grosbeak March 1, 2014
Exclamation mark!
A black and white bird, rose-breast
Evening Grosbeak.
Art Prescription: If you read my blog, you’ve seen a couple of renditions of this Evening Grosbeak. I learned from my previous paintings, and am pleased with this outcome.
Tree Energy February 28, 2014
Where all is quiet
Trees rest in the setting sun
A walk in the woods.
Art Prescription: After two hectic days at my RN job, I came home to take a walk in the woods. The stress of the day evaporates into the sky and I breathe in cool, fresh air.
Birds of a Feather February 24, 2014
Birds of a feather
Stick together thick and thin
Let the sunshine in!
Art Prescription: When a friend hurts we hurt. Sending love out to some sisters in need.
Puppy February 21, 2014
New parent training
Four legs, boundless energy
A black lab puppy!
Art Prescription: After two busy days at my RN job, I was delighted to meet Molly!! Two young parents brave their first, “she only wakes us up once.”
Give Me A Sign February 20, 2014
Asking for a sign
Spot an Evening Grosbeak
She waits for me now.
Art Prescription: Sometimes the good stuff has to wait. Has to wait to pay the mortgage, has to wait to pay college tuition, has to wait to pay the grocery bill…has to wait. I have a lovely Evening Grosbeak waiting for me to paint her. I will get there…for now a purple sketch.
