Outside trees aglow
Burnt orange, red, and yellow
Indian summer.
Art Prescription: North Carolina fall…out in short-sleeves today. Trees are peaking in color. They seem to glow!

Haiku November 4, 2012 Twisted
Spiral, twist, and turn
Double helix that is life
Deep in the fall woods!
Art Prescription: Everyone needs favorite places. This painting, a new exciting size of watercolor blocks 4 x 10 ish, was created from a place near our home called The Farm. Lush woods and a bamboo forest. Pretty in all seasons! Find one thing that captures your eye and build around it.
Haiku October 30, 2012 Sandy’s Path
Prematurely stripped
Trees stand naked, Sandy’s path
Ferocious beast.
Art Prescription: My heart goes out to all in Sandy’s path. Trying to think of a way to raise money with art…
Haiku October 26, 2012 Fall Prism
Atmospheric mist
Captures glow of fall color
Breeze creates a dance.
Art Prescription: Grey days are best for fall color viewing. The oranges and reds are intensified against a blue-grey back drop. Fall has many moods…
Haiku October 24, 2012 Rituals
Life is ritual
Comfort measures, insurance
Safety net for soul.
Art Prescription: Some people like change. I like same. Quiet life…busy mind…creativity!
Haiku October 23, 2012 The Great Pumpkin
Autumn memories
“The Great Pumpkin” ring a bell?
Classic fall story.
Art Prescription: Memories are being formed daily! Sketch, paint, or write about it!
Haiku October 14, 2012 Walk at Mason Farm
Last fall flowers bloom
Seed pods stand over meadow
Release fancy wings.
Art Prescription: We walked our favorite place, Mason Farm. Seems just a week or so ago the open meadows were filled with yellow Partridge Peas and pink wild roses. Now a few asters remain and interesting seed pods take the place of flowers. A sea of golden rod, yellow grasses and a hint of reds now stretches out against the wooded backdrop. We did see a pretty striped snake along the trail. Mason Farm is a beautiful nature preserve with a few different habitats. Lots of birds, owls, foxes, coyote, to name a few! A great place for a nature sketcher!
Haiku October 10, 2012 Delicate Life
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 9, 2012 Migration
Symphony in trees
Silver streaks of black birds fly
South for the winter!
Art Prescription: If you wake to a cacophony of birds in the trees, it’s likely flocks and flocks of black birds making their way south for winter. They are so noisy! And then one flap of the wing sends the whole bunch of them off to follow the pack. Nature’s rhythm amazes me! How at just the right time flora and fauna know their job…no questioning or laboring like us humans…should of, could of, would of, what if…
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!!
