Squirreling away seed
Little “hands” work to gather
Sunflower seed pet.
Art Prescription: It’s hard to feed the birds and not the squirrels. They are master-minds at breaking bird feeders. So I enjoy watching their acrobatic antics.

Quick little scurry
A flash of brown and whiskers
Field mouse, buttercups.
Art Prescription: Along my walk today.
Sky returns to blue
Group of Scarlet Tanagers
Striking red, black wings.
Art Prescription: Spent my morning at the farm. On and off rain. Late day walk at Mason Farm and lots of birds. Scarlet Tanagers glow in the green canopy.

Northern Parula
Steady song in the forest
Lulled by the soft rain.
Art Prescription: Early hike at Mason Farm and the rain caught us. It was quite peaceful walking under the canopy of trees while the rain pitter-pattered on leaves.
Collage, colored pencil and graphite:
Field crickets chirp, court
Call out for a female mate
Wind carries their song.
Art Prescription: Ending my week sitting in the middle of a field with horses and crickets. Most of the song you hear from crickets are the males serenading the females…sound familiar? And it’s their wings that make the sound not their legs. Beautiful to just sit and listen to the breeze, a couple of cardinals, sounds of horses chomping grass, and a distant caw of crows.

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…
Watercolor and colored pencil 8 1/2 x 11
Country roads a-glow
Redbuds and purple nettle
Make springs announcement.
Art Prescription: I love meandering on country roads…
8 1/2 x 11 Watercolor pencil on hot-pressed paper
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.
Path leads down a hill
Solitude, discovery
Woodland grassy cove.
Art Prescription: I took the path less traveled. And found a beautiful grassy cove.
