Nature’s small wonders
Just below step, above eye.
Take a closer look!
Art Prescription: While spring is growing with abundance each day, it’s fun to take a look at small wonders. Each thing a part of nature’s cycle.

Haiku April 8, 2013 Grandmother
Remembering her
Small bathroom smelled like Dove soap
White uniform starched.
Art Prescription: My grandmother’s birthday was April 6th. So I’ve had her and memories of her on my mind. She was a nurse, and I was scripted to take after her in every way. Her shoes hung in an over-the-closet shoe container. Like me though, or should I say like her…we both prefer to be in the garden!!
Haiku April 7, 2013 Art Journal
Recipe for joy
Take paper, color, and line
Mix, add spice. Enjoy!
Art Prescription: Spent time in my studio art journaling, and in the woods nature sketching. Sweet!! Sat in one place and sketched about four different wildflowers (stay tuned). In the studio I worked on a piece inspired by 21 Secrets, an art journaling workshop I’m participating in…this was fun!
Haiku April 6, 2013 Mason Farm Trees
Cathedral of trees
Arches path, Purple Nettle
Covers ground. Bees buzz!
Art Prescription: At Mason Farm, “My” owl is still sitting in her stag (a “lively” dead tree). She nests in her hole by the creek as the sun crosses during the day. At night she hunts. My imagination thinks this would be a cool start to a nature book….just so magical to see!
Haiku April 4, 2013 Spring Showers
Showy umbrellas
White clusters of cherry blooms
Brighten April rain.
Art Prescription: For a while today it was sleeting! Tricky Mother Nature! Meanwhile the blossoms bloom, and spring goes on about her flamboyant business of making us smile!!
Haiku April 2, 2013 Verve
New watercolor
Turquoise! Verve! blend of blue-green
A vase of flowers!
Art Prescription: I went to my favorite art-store today for canvases for a project I’m doing for UNC Hospitals. Of course no art-store expedition is complete without buying a new paint color! I bought a luscious turquoise and viola…flowers!
Haiku March 23, 2013 Spring Woodland
The woods are salted
With whitish-pink Spring Beauties
Violets dress path.
Art Prescription: Active day at Mason Farm!! Lots of wildlife, including finding an owl nested in a hole in a tree!!
Haiku March 22, 2013 I’m Gonna Buy You A Mockingbird
White feathered breast beams
March morning sun, Mockingbird
Sweet spring harmony.
Art Prescription: Hard not to smile while looking up to see a puffed-up Mockingbird singing his heart out on a limb. Actually grin!! They are show offs! Wildflowers dance in the meadow.
Haiku March 5, 2013 Beech Leaves
Air clean after rain
Beech leaves glow against hardwoods
Mockingbird nocturne.
Haiku February 26, 2013 Spring Rain
Cool, moist, after rain
Swollen creeks babble and flow.
Fog sits low on trees.
Art Prescription: Lot of spring rain for flower power!!
