Rain and cold move in
Good weather to snuggle with
Furry family.
Art Prescription: I continue to get things ready for spring… Watercolor pencil and ink on 3 x 5 index card.

Dig, clip, prune, plant, and water
Spring garden arrives!

Farm Fresh March 13, 2014
Farmer fresh produce
Feed family organic
Fruit, vegetables.
Art Prescription: We are so fortunate to have lots of organic farmers in our area. And three local farmer’s markets that make shopping local convenient and fun, including LoMo Market which travels around the triangle delivery fresh goods on wheels!!
Horse Paddock March 12, 2014
Past the fence, look down
Wildflowers sprinkle paddock
Where horses sense spring!!
Art Prescription: First thing this morning we walk out to see the horses. On the way I notice about 6 different merry wildflowers!
Black Crow March 11, 2014
Sheen like dark jewels
Wings catch March morning sun-shine
Black crow by the pond.
Art Prescription: Nothing sweeter than spring walks and painting with studio door wide-open!
Live Music March 10, 2014
Paint to live music
Cardinals, crows, and tree frogs
All sing their best song!
Art Prescription: Water-painting…with a little paint.
Trendy Prints March 9, 2014
Zebra safari
Inspiration for fashion
Leopards, giraffes too.
Art Prescription: Looks like animal prints are coming back around. Good! Hopefully it will remind all the fashionistas of our planet and the need to take good care. Peace!
Spring Scout March 8, 2014
On the scout for spring
She takes flight over meadow
Snow melts, rivers swell.
Art Prescription: Hang tight readers…I’m on a hunt for some original fairies. Lots of sketches and it’s harder than I thought. Being original is extremely difficult in a world where everything has been done hundreds of times, especially now with the internet. This is where the joy of our own imagination comes into play, and so play I will!!
p.s. You might recognize two recycled paintings here…
Warm Studio March 7, 2014
Warm studio waits
For fairies who pack their bags
To reign the woodlands.
Art Prescription: Working on some woodland fairies. Hard to decide if I want to go realistic or animated or somewhere in the middle. Love the idea of spring wildflowers with pretty, dainty fairies!!
Polar Vortex March 6, 2014
Sleet bounces off coat
Leaves shiver, abrasive wind
Early spring betrayed.
Art Prescription: Sleeting again in NC…on March 6th! Wildflowers are trying to bloom!
