He picked out flowers
That would bloom while he was gone
She on his return!
Art Prescription: Helped do signs for a friend today. Her daughter is getting married. After 20 some years, I still embrace the daily return of my husband to our home. Watercolor pencil sketch on watercolor paper.
Through open windows
Comes fall and winds of new path
Trees let go with ease.
Art Prescription: Are you wresting with letting go of something? Nature’s lesson this season is to let go and rest with full courage that new growth is next. Collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil on an envelope. I thought about using pieces of the envelope in a collage, and then I thought why not just do art on the envelope!!
Looking for dharma
I sit quiet, lotus pose
Breathe in peace, shanti.
Art Prescription: Pen and ink sketch…
Dahlia darling
You wear an elegant frock
Autumn princess reigns.

McCall’s six nine o
Does your life have a pattern?
Measure twice, cut once.

Freshly mowed meadow
Scent of dried grass, blue birds dip
Catch insects mid-flight.
Art Prescription: Sunday hike at Merritt’s Pasture. The field was freshly mowed, except they left islands of milk-weed for the monarch butterflies. Saw cardinals, titmice, chickadees, blue-birds, and a juvenile hawk. Watercolor sketch with pen and ink.
Dark and cool outside
First light, daybreak, the world turns
Sweet birds morning song.
Art Prescription: There are a few things worth getting up in the dark for…
Young fledge, cardinal
Peep, peep, peep, peep, persistent
Momma demonstrates.
Art Prescription: Adults are still bringing their off-spring to eat on my deck. The fledglings do their best to continue the easy route. Momma feed me. The parents show them how to peck, scratch, and eat.
Geese call out, echoes
Ready to roost music scales
Turtles paddle by.
Art Prescription: I love my solitary walks around the ponds in my neighborhood. Stood and watched the geese until they took flight. Watercolor sketch.
Some days a blank page
Stares at me, my muse protests
Meanwhile I collage.
Art Prescription: While hiking our favorite place, Mason Farm, NC, we ran into another couple about half-way around the loop. They had just seen two bear cubs running off into the forest!! Then on the trail we saw bear scat. Holy nature walk! We only did one loop today. Back at the studio I tapped into nothing particular. Trying to plan holiday workshops…
