Cold, chill to the bone
Steady drizzle and down-pours
Early springs revenge.
Art Prescription: So we have had record high temperatures, and now we are having record low temperatures.

Vacation August 20, 2016
Doers and dreamers
Plan for a trip by the sea
Destination, peace.
Art Prescription: A quick little sketch on an index card.
White Hydrangeas June 23, 2016
Full…a red ball jar
Perfect white hydrangeas
Simple, elegant.
Art Prescription: A watercolor sketch on watercolor paper…
Glad June 15, 2016
Glad is in the heart
On their sturdy dark-green stalks
Gladiolas beam.
Art Prescription: Visited a dear friend to talk about life as we know it. Beside her porch is a lush garden of tall gladiolas. Glad to have good friends!!

Dive In April 5, 2016
Winter can feel like
Time underwater, spring is
Coming up for air.
Art Prescription: Hard to go inside these days…I’ve got a pair of blue birds checking out the bird house right outside my studio window. How delightful if they take up residence and I can watch them raise a brood!
Watercolor on Yupo (first time on Yupo and I’m not sure what I’m doing)
Cold Front January 10, 2016
Cold front moving in
Wind whips tree branches, rattles
Blue birds hunker down.
Art Prescription: What a fuss? Blue birds claiming territory so early? Perhaps a warm box seems like a good idea!

Street Lamp December 17, 2015
Winter trees shimmer
Under light cast by street lamps
Asymmetrical.
Art Prescription: Evening walks this time of year quickly turn into night-time. I enjoy the sculpture quality of bare winter branches in the light of the street lamps.

Memory December 11, 2015
Seconds of my life
Click by on the microwave
Quick grits are ready!
Art Prescription: And let’s remember each small thing. Lucky to have hot grits with butter, even if I did eat them standing up between patients. A bite here, ooh that’s hot, a bite there, more butter? What do elephants and grits have to do with one another? Hot grits…cute critter with flowers…TGIF y’all!

Summer Dreamin December 8, 2015
While woods grow gray, cold
Summer lives on in my mind
Roses in full bloom.
Art Prescription: As the fall color is fading my imagination takes me back to summer.

Tropical Flower November 9, 2015
Smell of a wood-fire
Rain soaked leaves land in puddles
Umbrella in hand.
Art Prescription: Okay so the weather doesn’t usually get me down…but I’m so sick of rain I could scream!!! Okay there! So I picked out a stamp with some lovely pink flowers for today’s Art Prescription. Because like me you might could use a little tropical inspiration.
