Where is Fall? October 27, 2014
Been hanging around
This town for way, way too long
Counting crows, late fall.
Art prescription: Here in North Carolina it seems fall has missed her mark. Or did I just buy a pumpkin to early?
Cerulean Blue October 26, 2014
Cerulean sky
Rich yellows, orange, umber
Showy Sycamores.

Hawk October 25, 2014
Regal hawk on wire
Hunts over field and meadow
Tractor marks on dirt.
Art Prescription: A field through the seasons…sow, reap, plow. Fresh tractor marks on red dirt fields. Sketch on an envelope.
Zinnias October 22, 2014
Fall pink zinnias
Raise their head towards the sun
Shield against first frost.

Age October 20, 2014
Leaves age gracefully
In a riot of color
Know when to let go.
Art Prescription: Watercolor on paper.
Puddle Jumping October 14, 2014
Hard steady fall rain
Forgot your umbrella, well
Find a puddle, jump!
Art Prescription: Why do some folks complain about the rain? As kids we found things joyful no matter what. When was the last time you jumped into a big rain puddle!! ?? Go ahead, you have my permission…
Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
New Direction September 25, 2014
Through open windows
Comes fall and winds of new path
Trees let go with ease.
Art Prescription: Are you wresting with letting go of something? Nature’s lesson this season is to let go and rest with full courage that new growth is next. Collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil on an envelope. I thought about using pieces of the envelope in a collage, and then I thought why not just do art on the envelope!!
Mini Treats September 12, 2014
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
