I am listening
To the winter wind, trees sway
Year end moves forward.
Art Prescription: Winter is upon us…into the 20’s tonight. How grateful I am to have a warm house and heat that comes on at a moments touch. Blankets and quilts and fluffy robes…truly the riches of the holidays.
Index card
Life is sharps and flats
A symphony by design
The high’s and the low’s.
Art Prescription: Life is a ride…take the high note as often as possible!
Art Journal:
Open studio
Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!
Art Prescription: Today was a cold, wet, rainy day! And my friends and neighbors still came out to celebrate my open studio with me. Thanks y’all!! For those of you who live a little far off…
Dried hydrangeas
Their season of glory done
Form, “Damn near perfect.”
Art Prescription: I found out today that one of my favorite patients passed away. I just want to honor him here. He was a delightful person, and every time anyone asked him how he was his response was, “damn near perfect.” I sure hope he has a “damn near perfect” journey to the other side.
Under bright moonlight
I take a breath of pure joy
For all that is…life.
Art Prescription: While a friend came to help me take an objective look at my open studio set-up, she noticed my cut butterflies for Art Prescription Kits. She has a family member who is unwell, and she wants to send a butterfly every few days as a word of encouragement, sign of support. I’m so pleased to provide some pretty butterflies for this act from the heart.
Clean up on aisle one
Tangerines, nuts, memories
Holiday meltdown.
Art Prescription: So I had a meltdown at the Harris Teeter today…dang Christmas music. I went to shop for my Thanksgiving dressing and all of a sudden, right there in the fresh produce section, big tear streamed down my face. What? Get it together. Went to the bathroom…and then again shopping for rice…and nuts…My sweet husband came to my rescue.
I sure do miss all the people that I miss…and this Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for!!

Holiday traffic
All the fixings, loaded carts
Plans for gratitude.
Art Prescription: Wow, holiday hustle and bustle. My hope is that as we all sit down to share Thanksgiving dinner, we will also give thanks for the natural world around us. It’s pretty amazing…
6 x 9 colored pencil and pen and ink
Oh so still on trail
A grey ball of fluff, oh dear…
Just playing possum!
Art Prescription: On our morning hike at Mason Farm we came across a seemingly unfortunate scene. As we got closer Sam said, it’s breathing. We circled around through the woods. As soon as we were on down the path, the possum took off to continue meandering in the woods. Nature! Full of surprise.
3 x 5 index card with colored pencil
Clouds roll in, cold front
Drafts of air take leaf remains
I dream of poppies.
Art Prescription: Rainy cold day. Good thing the imagination can take you away!
Watercolor 8 1/2 x 11 with pen and ink
Scratch, scratch, rustle, scratch
A big pile of autumn leaves
Childhood memories.
Art Prescription: I grew up at 1205 Kingwood Drive. And our yard had big trees and lots of leaves!! I always enjoyed raking. I guess even as a child I liked the meditative aspect of being outdoors and being productive. The fact that I enjoy working at the farm where Finn stays is no surprise…3 x 5 index card illustration.
