The Queen spreads her seed
Across hill and dale she reigns
With a crown of thorns.
Art Prescription: My Queen Anne’s Lace has gone to seed…fascinating. Ever look this close? I used my 10x magnifying glass.

Clematis May 8, 2014
Climbing Clematis
Weaves fragile tendrils around
Sending blooms to top!
Art Prescription: There is something mesmerizing about vines. How they know to wrap and weave their way to get to where they are going. Wish my path was so clear…
Mourning Doves February 18, 2014
Creamy morning dove
High in tree top late day sun
Coos softly for mate.
Art Prescription: Caught a glimpse of a creamy-white breast of a mourning dove. Warm afternoon sun just right. Coos, reminiscent of summers at my grandmother’s pond.
Mind Garden February 6, 2014
February sun
Six B graphite, smooth and dark
Spring blooms on paper.
Art Prescription: The blooms in my mind take me through February. Get your pencils out and let graphite glide across your paper!!
Haiku March 31, 2013 Trout-lily
If Trout-lilys played
A musical instrument.
They’d be violins.
Art Prescription: One of the main reasons I like sketching live is to feel the personality of a plant. As a certified botanical illustrator, we were taught to tell the plant’s story. Get your sketchbook and go out and draw…think you can’t draw? Just let your hand follow your eye. Get your brain, and what you think you see out of the way….just follow the contours of the subject.
