Haiku October 21, 2012 Leaves Rehearse

Childhood laughter soars

Neighbors out in fall perfect

Leaves rehearse for show!

Art Prescription:  As I took my afternoon walk, my neighborhood was lively with kids and families out enjoying this mild NC fall weather. Big blue sky, perhaps need a sweat-shirt. I painted with my studio door open…much to show later. Get out there while the weather is perfect for sketching or painting outside!

Haiku October 18, 2012 Sketch Break!!

Light rain falls, grey sky

Sunset casts pink purple glow

Pumpkins smile on porch!

Art Prescription:  Busy day! Time for a quick sketch! Our days can easily get occupied by the demands of our jobs, family, etc. Taking a 10 minute break to sit quietly and look at the sunset, do a quick sketch, can bring peace and closure to an otherwise hectic day!!

Haiku October 5, 2012 Allegro

Allegro for fall

Hot coffee and pumpkin patch

Dry leaves swirl to ground.

Art Prescription:  If you spend any time gazing out the window these days you will see leaves floating to a resting spot on earth. Many writers acknowledge the slightly sad, melancholy feelings that come with fall. There is that…There is also the refreshing cool weather when hot beverages warm the hand, and autumn color burst onto the scene with bright orange and red. Tomorrow I’m heading to a local pumpkin patch for visuals to feed my artist eye!!
