Each piece of pine straw
Or lichen, twigs, spider’s silk
Laid with high design
Art Prescription: Bird’s nests are architecturally a wonder!
My walks sustain me.
And also my art. My Stitch Kits are designed to give peace.
New design:
New Nest

Personal
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:
Wading Through Water
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:
New Ideas
Time to perculate
Bring the gerbil in to home
Off the running wheel!
Art Prescription: Having extra time to work on some ideas has been nice.
I’m hoping to soon list an embroidery kit in my Etsy shop.
Something Blue July 23, 2016
From red kayak bow
The lake stretches out deep blue
Big clouds float above.
Art Prescription: Just me and my first mate went “boating” today…kayaking. It was so fun and beautiful and peaceful. Nothing but us, blue skies, and a lake that went on forever. Bliss!
Index card with watercolor:
This Too is Spring April 17, 2016
Fast furious swoop
A near miss, the dove chortles
Hungry red-eyed hawk.
Art Prescription: I was sitting outside when I heard a sudden ruffle of wings. A hawk swooped in after a morning dove in the trees. Lucky for the dove, the hawk went hungry. The yin and yang of nature.

Dive In April 5, 2016
Winter can feel like
Time underwater, spring is
Coming up for air.
Art Prescription: Hard to go inside these days…I’ve got a pair of blue birds checking out the bird house right outside my studio window. How delightful if they take up residence and I can watch them raise a brood!
Watercolor on Yupo (first time on Yupo and I’m not sure what I’m doing)
Shed November 1, 2015
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:
Judges October 26, 2015
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…

Fall Posy October 25, 2015
Freshly cut flowers
Seems trees have changed overnight
Mason Jar posy.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky here in North Carolina that flowers continue to bloom on through October. We haven’t had that first cold frost yet. So I happily plucked a Mason Jar full of flowers and set about to watercolor them. Makes me about as happy as anything…
