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.

Finding “It” January 11, 2015

Makes you feel alive

Your senses on edge, it’s real

Spend a day…a life.

Art Prescription:  What makes you feel alive? When you wake in the morning and put two feet on the ground, what gives you that feeling of “Yes!” Okay…well do that more.

My Brother December 28, 2014

Lean on me today

I will stand tall and strong now

Catch you if you fall.

Art Prescription:  This post is for my brother, who reminded me over the holidays that he is here for me. Through thick and thin he is there to lean on.

Candle Lit Street December 13, 2014

Four seconds to flame

Neighbors come out, winter night

Streets lined with candles.

Art Prescription:  I’ve been heading up luminaries for our neighborhood for about 8 years. The thing that always brings me joy is to see neighbors coming out and working together as a community to create a beautiful winter night.

Thank you to my local followers for coming to my Open Studio!!
