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!

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!

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.

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…

Cowgirl Wisdom October 24, 2015
She moved me, the wind
And I listened deeply to
What she had to say.
Art Prescription: I went to an animal communication workshop today at the farm where my horse Finn lives. It was intense and beautiful. I was overwhelmed with some emotions that came up, and I’m sure I will need to process my “conversations” more in the days to come. The horses were amazing and accepting and willing…wow!
Euphonious October 20, 2015
Sharp, bright, fall sunlight
Euphonious, crickets hum
Musical meadow.
Art Prescription: The sun is sharp these days. Once up, she burns off frosted windshields…moves on to de-thaw grass. And still the crickets hum softly in the meadow.

Afternoon Shadows October 16, 2015
Afternoon shadows
Fall on black cows in pasture
Grain bin keeps the gate.
Art Prescription: As I do most Fridays after my two RN days, I headed out to see Finn at the farm. I can be completely exhausted, and my visit with the horses and fresh air renews my spirit. On the way home I take in the gently rolling pastures. Today a herd of black cows against the green pasture made me pull over. As I sat in a drive a white truck approached me. “You okay honey.” “Yes sir, I just pulled off to take a picture of your cows, may I.” “You sure can. Did ya see the babies? They are probably off down near the woods. They are purdy.” He backed up the drive. He had only come down to see if I needed help. Country. A far cry from the news of the day. Just people watching out for each other. I got my photo and headed home. Sigh…
