Haiku April 30, 2013 Come and Gone

Another April!

Blue roses sparkle dreamy

Garden filled with hopes!

Art Prescription:  “To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else.” …….Emily Dickinson

This is the way I feel looking at a meadow of wildflowers and not being able to draw each and every one!!

Haiku April 26, 2013 Dragonflies

Buzzy things with wings

Fill the air showing off their

Aerodynamics!

Art Prescription:  As the weather warms there’s a lot more action in the air. Birds, bees, butterflies, and dragonflies! Here in North Carolina we have several different species of dragonflies…it’s fun to try and identify them. And oh yea, there’s the damselfly too!

Haiku April 24, 2013 Idealism

Rich, thin, young, sexy.

Whole, happy, content, wise soul.

Glossy versus real!

Art Prescription:  Ever notice the confusing messages of the glossy magazines while in the check-out aisle. “How to loose 10 lbs in 10 days.” “Bust Belly-Fat Now.” “Ten Best Ever Chocolate Cake Recipes.” Along with the latest gossip about life-styles of the rich and famous, the tabloids advise us on how we “should” be living!! What if nothing external matters at all? What if it’s all about living each day with purpose and joy? What if there’s no winner in the rat race? The turtle, who stops to smell, and well, eat, the roses!! WINS!!

Haiku April 20, 2013 Red Lipstick

Red lipstick, date night.

Brings her flowers, chardonnay

Dinner is homemade.

Art Prescription:  It’s Saturday night, and a late afternoon run to the grocery store reveals people with assorted agendas at the checkout. I’m cooking and sipping a lovely chardonnay…life is good.

Haiku April 18, 2013 One Prescious Life

Go where the love is.

Wake up, jump out of bed with

A joie de vivre!

Art Prescription:  Are you living your life to it’s fullest? Do you stop and smell the roses, or are you rushing about getting from point A to point B without enthusiasm? Can you add some small subtle details to enhance your daily life? Just 5 minutes of noticing something beautiful, something that moves your spirit…
