Showy umbrellas
White clusters of cherry blooms
Brighten April rain.
Art Prescription: For a while today it was sleeting! Tricky Mother Nature! Meanwhile the blossoms bloom, and spring goes on about her flamboyant business of making us smile!!

Haiku December 20, 2012 Winter Peace
Winter rain, not snow
Tap, tap, taps, on my jacket
Peaceful halos, light.
Art Prescription: I’ve always loved the way light gets reflected in the rain. Even a stoplight on a rainy or misty night creates a wonderful prism of color on the street, a painting!
Haiku November 19, 2012 Winter Trees
Bare winter branches
Cradle last seasons bird art
Perfect little nests!
Art Prescription: The last of the leaves have fallen leaving winter sculpture. Bare trees reach towards grey sky. The labor of spring love is revealed.
Haiku November 12, 2012 Trees Aglow
Outside trees aglow
Burnt orange, red, and yellow
Indian summer.
Art Prescription: North Carolina fall…out in short-sleeves today. Trees are peaking in color. They seem to glow!
Haiku October 13, 2012 Nap
I feel your warm breath
Purr vibrates until you fall
Asleep by my side.
Art Prescription: Few things are sweeter to me than having a warm, purring cat by my side! I love to sketch the lines of my cats.
Haiku September 13, 2012 Chinese Brush Painting
Jet black Sumi-ink
Brush strokes capture the essence
Moment on paper.
Art Prescription: I went to a Chinese Brush Stroke class today at the NC Botanical Garden taught by Alice, her American name. With a gentle demeanor she demonstrates the ancient art of brush painting. She teaches us it’s not about the accuracy of the painting, but the feeling…the Chi, and make sure to leave room in your painting for movement of energy. We worked on herons today. And swallows!
