Outside Looking In January 8, 2015

Warm glow from windows

Folks settle, evening time

January chill.

Art Prescription:  As I walk in the dusk and see all the warmly lit homes, it reminds me of how fortunate we all are. I’m so grateful that at the flip of a switch I can get warmer. Simple daily pleasures. Wish all mankind and creatures warmth…

In Spirit January 3, 2015

Farm sanctuary

Fresh air, a religion

Horses my teachers.

Art Prescription:  I’ve spent much of my holiday time out at the farm. It occurs to me that I’m learning patience, tolerance, and that throwing bales of hay to horses is extremely therapeutic!! Lovely views…

Spirit of Christmas Past December 22, 2014

Christmas tangerines

In a pretty box with nuts

Under grandma’s tree.

Art Prescription:  The holidays can be rough. Seems family dynamics are amplified. The world is spinning too fast. And most of us just want it to be over so our lives can get back to normal. Did our grandparents feel this way? I have some pretty super memories of simple gifts of fruit and nuts under my grandmother’s multi-colored light tree. I think we expect way too much out of ourselves!! Go easy…

Winter Wind December 10, 2014

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.
