Sensuous Rose October 4, 2013

Red October rose

Symbol of beauty and love

Scented, sensuous.

Art Prescription:  Love of roses and their tantalizing scent has seduced and intoxicated people more than any other flower! The fossils of wild roses have been found as far back as forty million years ago.

Haiku December 6, 2012 Compassion

Compassion:  to walk

A brief time in other’s shoes

Give of time and heart.

Art Prescription:  The holiday season brings out extremes in feelings. At any given point in life you or I may respond differently to a world where “everyone else seems normal.” No matter what holiday you celebrate, there is bound to be some roller-coaster of emotions. The perfect gift, time and heart!

Haiku September 20, 2012 Closet Moves

Shorts start to recede

Jackets, sweaters take center

Soon coats will appear.

Art Prescription:  It was 54 degrees when I left the house this morning. On the bus into work I notice the exchange of summer shorts and flip-flops for a bit more coverage. Scarves, fashionable year-round, now start to take on functionality. I love the change of seasons! As the trees begin to lose their leaves, us humans begin to layer.  Notice each day the subtle…

Haiku September 19, 2012 Haiku-o-gram

Dangles from a tree

A poem for someone to find

It’s haiku-o-gram!!

Art Prescription:  My haiku-a-day is branching out. Today I hung Haiku-o-gram 2, since 1 launched. This project is all about delight! and I’m writing haikus on recycled pieces of art. My intention is to purely surprise and brighten someone’s day. A little gift  flapping in the wind!! It’s fun to do something unexpected!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Haiku June 19, 2012 Bee Balm

Las Vegas style hat

Red feathery flamboyant

Hummingbirds fancy!

Art Prescription:  Bee Balm is an exotic flower. Deep tones of red stand tall on sturdy green stalks. True to their name, the bees love them, and so do hummingbirds. While I water my garden I often get a fly by, fluorescent hummer zipping in and out of my water stream. Their long pointy beaks fit nicely into the Bee Balm vessels. Our lives are so filled with motion and activity. The garden always reminds me to stand still a moment and just watch!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love the composition of this sketch…it’s like lovers saying  “I need to tell you something.”
