Swarm of honey bees
The weight on a new spring branch
Queen rules colony.
Art Prescription: Saw this on my walk today. So amazing and beautiful. Swarming behavior only occurs in spring when the Queen Bee decides to start a new colony and leaves with thousands of worker bees in search of a new nest. Meanwhile they swarm in unexpected places.
Bye brown, step aside
Green, it’s your turn to shine bright
Cover the meadows.
Art Prescription: Spring abundance makes the dull browns of winter worth it.
Index card with colored pencil:
Intricate pattern
These creatures who take to flight
Feathers, part of wings.
Art Prescription: My favorite subject lately is feathers. So beautiful, so purposeful…

Birds sing at daybreak
The dark recedes, a new day
Long weekend mornings.
Art Prescription: Waking to my own rhythm is bliss.
Watercolor and pen and ink
Country roads a-glow
Redbuds and purple nettle
Make springs announcement.
Art Prescription: I love meandering on country roads…

Rain on a tin roof
Makes a barn nice and cozy
Horses get more hay.
Art Prescription: So I was out caring for Finn while two classes of 8 to 10 year old girls came to the farm for lessons. A steady rain meant no riding, but there is so much more to learn at the barn about caring for horses. It’s getting cool tonight so the girls helped put out extra hay for all.
Pen and ink and watercolor sketch
A blue table cloth
Sets the stage for a picnic
Fresh friendship galore.
Found expression
Piece of your authentic voice
Right down on paper.
Art Prescription: Today I worked with scraps of collaging papers. I’m happy with my emerging butterfly.
Time to fill bird bath
Look for first purple vinca
And daffodil blooms.
A scampering cat
Thunder paws rattles the hall
With pure playful glee.
Art Prescription: My cats play chase…
