Rose grows empty lot
Her red blooms tell a story
An era gone by.
Art Prescription: We are all planting seeds. Some we will see grow and flourish, and others we will leave behind for the future. Plant well my friend…

Split Personality May 23, 2014
Two worlds, artist, nurse
Some days my hat does not fit
Either, want to rest!
Art Prescription: I’ve been weaving my two worlds of nursing and art together for about 10 years…maybe 11…or all my life…which came first? I love both in many ways. Often it’s the transition that is hardest. What hats do you wear? Which hat fits you best? Fits your spirit?
Horse’s Truth Serum May 21, 2014
Afraid of corners?
Are you holding on too tight?
Can you sit back, down?
Art Prescription: I’m practicing awareness. Where does my energy go? Who and whom do I allow into my space, my energy field? When do I feel empowered, energized, and when do I feel depleted? Working with horses at Blue Skies of Mapleview is humbling. The horses, with their soft knowing gaze, are helping me get in touch with a couple of things, and it’s all that and more!
Country Pond May 19, 2014
Wild irises grow
On the edge of country pond
Baby ducks waddle.
Art Prescription: An evening walk around our neighborhood pond…relaxing. And I see a duck with 10 ducklings trailing behind her. I hope to get some sketches of this fowl family. For now, the purple wild irises hold my attention. Pen and ink in sketchbook.
Rain Storm May 15, 2014
Raining cats and dogs
Windshield wipers on high mode
No umbrella, wet!!
Art Prescription: I did not heed the weather forecast, so came home looking like a wet rat! And a cold rain too. Warm shower, p.j.’s, and a quick pen and ink.
Pet Love May 1, 2014
Bare feet slinky fur
Cat swirls around my ankles
Claims territory.
Art Prescription: I’m pet sitting. So I go over to visit with my coffee, and much to my own cat’s chagrin, I come home smelling of “mine.” My neighbor’s cat, who is cute as pie, is more interested in marking her ownership than eating. Interesting what one will do for love and acceptance.
Deep Woods April 27, 2014
Smell of vetiver
Rich, earthy bog, sweet wetlands
Guppies, frogs, and snakes!
Art Prescription: Snakes! Yikes, but some people love seeing them. They are nature’s creations too. As we head into warmer weather, the bog awakens, and the water is teaming with life. Remember when you looked at bog water under a microscope? Spirogyra…Be curious.
Indigo Bunting April 26, 2014
Indigo bunting
A brilliant blue jewel
Sings to the meadow.
Art Prescription: Lots of birds today at Mason Farm!! This Indigo Bunting and a Black-chinned Hummingbird were sharing tree space.
Tai Chi April 25, 2014
Busy hospital
Lady in pink does Tai Chi
People linger, gaze.
Art Prescription: It seems hospitals have become like malls. Busy, people everywhere, employees, patients, and families going for lunch. The lady in pink doing Tai Chi caught my eye. I stopped and watched her graceful movements. Watercolor pencil sketchbook…
Horse Trail Ride April 23, 2014
Through long green grass fields
Into the woods, by cows, geese,
Trail ride perfection!
Art Prescription: Spring experienced on the back of a horse is bliss. Look down and see wildflowers at their feet. Watch their ears and eyes as they take it all in. You are on their back and they carry you with each step, mutual trust!
