I dream of poppies.

Piles of Leaves November 16, 2014
Scratch, scratch, rustle, scratch
A big pile of autumn leaves
Childhood memories.
Art Prescription: I grew up at 1205 Kingwood Drive. And our yard had big trees and lots of leaves!! I always enjoyed raking. I guess even as a child I liked the meditative aspect of being outdoors and being productive. The fact that I enjoy working at the farm where Finn stays is no surprise…3 x 5 index card illustration.

An empty bird’s nest

Unity, full moon.

Time Change November 3, 2014

Bright cheery papers, art cards
Chase the winter blues.
