Wake-up juice, java
Rich, smooth morning enjoyment
Brown-gold coffee beans!
Art Prescription: It is really the small things! Pen and ink sketch-doodle…

Haiku July 17, 2013 Butterflies and Bees
Haiku July 15, 2013 Horses
Warm velvet soft nose
Smell of fresh hay and cut grass
Afternoon horse barn.
Art Prescription: There is just something about being around horses. Their warm brown eyes and soft ears, majestic musculature, swishy tails, the smell of leather, and a historic relationship. We’ve long been bound to these creatures.
Haiku July 12, 2013 Rejuvination
Rejuvination
A spring of positive strength
Renew, refresh, grow!!
Art Prescription: I’ve had two very busy days at my nursing job. Life presents us many ways to grow and learn. Art is a perfect conduit for catharsis, a way to channel emotions, and come out on the other side with a sense of renewal.
Haiku July 10, 2013 Farmer’s Market
Farmer’s market stars
A bucket of zinnias
Steal the summer show!
Art Prescription: Went to a “refrigerator pickling” demo today at the local farmer’s market. Good things to come from that!! And the zinnias stole my eye!
Haiku July 8, 2013 Spiragira!
Sun spiragira
Intricate patterns emerge
Rings of rays blossom,
Art Prescription: Did you know the “petals” of the sunflower are not true petals? The true flowers are the tiny rays that form the amazing spiral design on the head of a sunflower and many other “ray” flowers. Here’s another watercolor pencil sketch, finished with a quick big brush of water.
Haiku July 7, 2013 Be Brave
With the will of ants
Nature’s determination
It’s time to be brave.
Art Prescription: Have you ever watched the determination of an ant, or group of ants, trying to carry something. One ant will try to move something 10 times its size.
Haiku July 2, 2013 Jazz Band
In the summer marsh
The centipede plays rhythm
Frogs sing harmony!
Art Prescription: With all the rain we have had, most creeks and wetlands are abundant with creatures. The sounds of nature amuse me! There is a story in each moment.
Haiku June 19, 2013 Summer Ritual
Big, red, ripe, juicy
Fresh produce, farm to market
Tomato sandwich!
Art Prescription: Summer means juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes. I know there is a lot of argument out there with how to appropriately build a tomato sandwich. Some are strictly BLT advocates…and yes this is a good option. Others say mayonnaise is the essential makings of a tomato sandwich. Me. I’m a purist. Just a freshly sliced tomato on bread and I can taste the sun.
Haiku June 18, 2013 Peaceful
Cozy studio
Steady rain pelts roof, trees sway
A moment…deep sigh.
Art Prescription: Watching the rain fall, while I’m cozy and dry inside my studio is very peaceful. It’s the place where my dreams get to play!
