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.

Vet Day December 9, 2014
Cold, wet, steady rain
I peer into the warm stall
After the vet check.
Art Prescription: Vet day at the farm. Thank goodness for kind, smart animal caregivers. They are a gift. Felt like a mom with her child getting first vaccinations. True to my own medicine…art therapy.

Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!

Damn Near Perfect December 4, 2014
Dried hydrangeas
Their season of glory done
Form, “Damn near perfect.”
Art Prescription: I found out today that one of my favorite patients passed away. I just want to honor him here. He was a delightful person, and every time anyone asked him how he was his response was, “damn near perfect.” I sure hope he has a “damn near perfect” journey to the other side.
Moon Shine December 3, 2014
Under bright moonlight
I take a breath of pure joy
For all that is…life.
Art Prescription: While a friend came to help me take an objective look at my open studio set-up, she noticed my cut butterflies for Art Prescription Kits. She has a family member who is unwell, and she wants to send a butterfly every few days as a word of encouragement, sign of support. I’m so pleased to provide some pretty butterflies for this act from the heart.
