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.
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.
Bring summer inside
Clip ripe colorful bouquets
Enjoy May roses!!
Art Prescription: A fresh bouquet out of my rose garden! This is painted very loosely. Don’t feel overwhelmed to get to all the detail. Just capture their essence with a quick pen sketch, color with watercolor, re-pen for detail, add some watery background…Be thrilled with your May roses!! Change your mood, your energy, in 20 minutes…go ahead try it!!
Fresh sweet corn on cob
Pale yellow kernels of good
Wears a fancy cap!

Light spring breeze rustles
New greenery waves, frolics
Columbine blooms nod.
Art Prescription: “My” owl has an owlet…so much to tell!! For now my Columbine blooms pretty!!
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!
A pen and paper
Expressive sketch, just capture
The essence of cat.
Art Prescription: Part of the Art Prescription philosophy is to encourage creativity any where, any time. Nothing has to be perfect, just play and have fun.
Backyard bird haven
Songbirds await arrival
Mini feathered friends.
Art Prescription: Season change brings new friends.
Inches from the ground
Spring ephemerals flower
Some think they are weeds.
Art Prescription: There is no such thing as a weed! Until man started trying to have lawns…
Leaves frolic, March wind
Pansies bloom braving the cold
Birds are on the chase!
Art Prescription: As dried leaves tumble down the street, birds dart and dive for territory and mates.
