One more coat should do
Re-do, re-paint, re-color
Wait for muse to speak.
Art Prescription: New Year, a new blank canvas! I’ve painted about 5 different things on 2 canvases in the past couple of days. Changed color palette and design completely, waffled, stood staring….nothing! I know what I must do. I must leave the studio in order for my muse to appear. Going………..
New, afresh, with hope
New chapter, new plans, new dreams
Grow, change, and grow more!
Art Prescription: Happy New Year to all! My wish for the new year includes gratitude, growth, and peace for me and my family and friends! Oh Yea! and ART!! Cheers!
Geese fly overhead
Wings hiss, separate cold air
Perfect formation!
Art Prescription: As the year comes to a close I celebrate all! People working together to make a difference. Thanks for sharing your art form with me!!
Wood fires scent the air.
Scarf, hat, and gloves become needs
Winter warm fashion!!
Free from worldly wants
You hear your own strong footsteps
Go! You know the way!
Art Prescription: A student of all things Zen, I strive to apply the lessons of many great teachers to my life. I think the hardest lesson of all is to listen to your own heart and not allow the chaotic, negative energy of others divert you from what you know is good and whole and healthy. Peace.

Stars twinkle clear sky
Lovely ring circles full moon
Light for longest nights!
Art Prescription: Evening walks take on new meanings in winter. Instead of watching the sun set, I get to watch the moon rise. Tonight the moon is full…called by Native Americans the “Full Cold Moon,” or the “Full Long Nights Moon.” This time of year temperatures dive, 20’s expected here in North Carolina. Since it’s hard to capture the beauty of a moon lit sky with a camera (unless you are a pro), I encourage you to sketch and/or paint this magical winter scene!
The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon – December During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.
December bird count
Binoculars, sketchbook, time
Five miles of shear bliss!!
Art Prescription: Yes! I am a total bird geek. Love watching these colorful, delightful, big-brown eyed beings as they dance, prance, look for food, pick berries, or fly from tree to tree. Here is my sketchbook list from Christmas Day:

A voice sang from woods
Peace on earth, goodwill to man
Many answered call!!
Art Prescription: Beautiful Christmas day here in North Carolina. Spent it with my soul-mate walking in the woods, doing a Christmas day bird count, and a bit of sketching…bliss…shear bliss. I highly recommend it. This new year go out and buy yourself a sketchbook. Simply take notice of your surroundings. Especially when you are too busy…just ten minutes of joy and a change in brain chemistry!
