Time for make believe
Ghosts, goblins, and black witches
Jack-o-lanterns rule.
Art Prescription: Lots of creativity at a costume party!

Haiku October 23, 2012 The Great Pumpkin
Autumn memories
“The Great Pumpkin” ring a bell?
Classic fall story.
Art Prescription: Memories are being formed daily! Sketch, paint, or write about it!
Haiku October 21, 2012 Leaves Rehearse
Childhood laughter soars
Neighbors out in fall perfect
Leaves rehearse for show!
Art Prescription: As I took my afternoon walk, my neighborhood was lively with kids and families out enjoying this mild NC fall weather. Big blue sky, perhaps need a sweat-shirt. I painted with my studio door open…much to show later. Get out there while the weather is perfect for sketching or painting outside!
Haiku October 20, 2012 Three-sixty
Life does three-sixty
In one full twenty-four hours
Lights, camera, NOW!
Art Prescription: Life can be so quiet, or so busy it makes your head spin!! One day can drag out hour by hour, or be spent racing with the clock. Time is funny that way.
Haiku October 19, 2012 Venus
Venus lights my way
Trample through damp wooded trail
Owls watch from above.
Art Prescription: Being out so early, still dark, is not my norm. But it is serenely beautiful!!
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!!
Haiku October 12, 2012 Ebb and Flow
Ebb and flow, that’s life
Magician works the puppet
Cut the strings? Go free!!
Art Prescription: I’ll leave this one up to you…
Haiku October 10, 2012 Delicate Life
Delicamente
A song for long precious life.
Holidays are here!
Art Prescription: The iconoclastic pumpkin is…simply beautiful. I’ve painted, so far, three different variations of the pumpkin and will share in future blogs. I’m busy cutting rice paper leaves for the UNC Hospital Remembering Tree and had lots of small pieces of paper left over. Always a fan of trying a new technique, I made a tiny collage.
Haiku October 7, 2012 Jewels
Last weekend light fades
Squirrels scamper to their nests
Jewels fall from trees!
Art Prescription: Long lived weekend! Yard work, pumpkins, cupcakes!! Lots of being outside! Try watercolor sketching a leaf or two! This one will go out as a Haiku O Gram tomorrow!!
Haiku October 1, 2012 Great Grandmother’s Quilt
Great Grandmother’s quilt
Offers warmth as degrees drop
Stitch by stitch with love.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky to have about five quilts made by my ancestors. Both my mom’s mother and my dad’s parents quilted, and this is back in the day where it was all done by hand! I remember my grandmother’s living room being transformed into a quilting bee as the furniture was moved back, the quilt racks went up, and she and my aunt would sit and sew for hours. Today I did a watercolor sketch of a section of quilt just for fun. Look around your house to find inspiration!
