Reality January 30, 2015

Too tired to write

I glue a few odds and ends

My mind a great fog.

Art Prescription:  After two days of my RN job I’m pooped!!! I started a collage and then just sat there…blank. What no Art Prescription? I’ll go dig in the vault for some art.

Shopping January 27, 2015

City-fide red tail

Hawk perches on the mall sign

Beware country mice!

Art Prescription:  Attention K-Mart shoppers…there’s a blue-light special on isle four. It always interests me how crowded the mall is on a week-day (yes I went to Target), and how generously American shoppers let go of their dollars. Need, want, have…

Birds Watch January 25, 2015

Birds watch the sunset

High atop forest, beaks turn

Outside Looking In January 8, 2015

Warm glow from windows

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!!
