Delicamente
A song for long precious life.
Holidays are here!
Art Prescription: The iconoclastic pumpkin is…simply beautiful. I’ve painted, so far, three different variations of the pumpkin and will share in future blogs. I’m busy cutting rice paper leaves for the UNC Hospital Remembering Tree and had lots of small pieces of paper left over. Always a fan of trying a new technique, I made a tiny collage.
Haiku October 1, 2012 Great Grandmother’s Quilt
Great Grandmother’s quilt
Offers warmth as degrees drop
Stitch by stitch with love.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky to have about five quilts made by my ancestors. Both my mom’s mother and my dad’s parents quilted, and this is back in the day where it was all done by hand! I remember my grandmother’s living room being transformed into a quilting bee as the furniture was moved back, the quilt racks went up, and she and my aunt would sit and sew for hours. Today I did a watercolor sketch of a section of quilt just for fun. Look around your house to find inspiration!

Industriousness
Some have it others do not
Why spend life idle?
Art Prescription: Today is my grandmother’s birthday. She was one of the most industrious people I’ve ever known. She lived alone and made her life complete and content by gardening, quilting, canning, cooking, sewing, reading… I feel very sorry for people who can’t find their way in the world with purpose and energy. We have this one precious life to live each day to its fullest!! I’m extremely thankful I married an industrious man…made my grandma proud!! Happy Birthday Annie! Miss you!

Big golden moon hangs
Over new hopes and plans for
A future, hopes, dreams.
Art Prescription: Went to my cousin’s son’s wedding. Beautiful couple. Weddings are good to remind us of the love that carries us through our past, present, and future. Cheers…
