Jimmy Buffet song
Coffee over-looking sea
Palms wave in the breeze.
Art Prescription: Summer vacations this year may be different for many.
That doesn’t stop you from going to the beach in your mind.

Do Over II December 7, 2016
Flamingoes came back
A second studio stroll
Dancing on water.
Art Prescription: I returned to my flamingoes again this morning. This time I planned my compositions for a paired painting. I started with a sketch to make sure I liked my placement of each bird, then did a very watery background. I took my time building up color on each bird, and finally added watery reflections. I’m happy with these paintings!!
Fireside Dreams December 5, 2016
When winter cold comes
Sit by a fire, imagine
A warm paradise.
Art Prescription: I actually love winter, the sculptural bareness of trees. And lots of friends are going on cruises to escape winter.

Seagull September 25, 2016
She sits on the pier
Overlooks her cove, the sea
Comes and goes with tides.
Art Prescription: The seagulls were of course charming…Playing with crayons, so fun!! Try it! Watercolor background and then crayon sketching.

Nova Scotia September 24, 2016
A Digby boat launch
Out into grey-blue waters
Working piece of art.
Art Prescription: Hi folks! Last two days I’ve had technical difficulty, aka got a new iPhone and don’t know how everything works yet!! In the meantime I’ve finished my first Nova Scotia painting. It’s kind-of intimidating to try and capture the romance and color we saw while there.

Sea Horses August 27, 2015
Someone to swim with
Come along by my side and
We will live big life.
Art Prescription: You can look at your days, weeks, months, years, in one of two ways. One, with total gratitude for all that you are and your health, and all that you have. Or two, a glass half empty all the time, focusing on every little hang nail that comes your way. Wow! Now that’s some deep decisions! Swim….

Ocean Dreams October 3, 2013
Feel salt on my skin
Hear gulls laughing in the wind
Waves lap shore, rhythm.
Art Prescription: I could use a trip to the ocean about now. Long walks along the sand, listening to the waves rolling onto shore. Peaceful.
Haiku December 14, 2012 Ocean Meets Sound
Ocean rolls in, melts
Eases to calm sound ripples
Current swirls beneath.
Art Prescription: Walked to the end of the island today where the ocean meets the sound. I left a Haiku O Gram there!!
