New parent training
Four legs, boundless energy
A black lab puppy!
Art Prescription: After two busy days at my RN job, I was delighted to meet Molly!! Two young parents brave their first, “she only wakes us up once.”

Passion February 19, 2014
The word passion means
“To be affected.” Basic
Energy of soul.
Art Prescription: Do you pay attention to your passions? Those things that “affect” you. What gives you energy? What takes it away? Are you being true to yourself?
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.
Near Hawk Visit February 17, 2014
Through binoculars
I sight movement in the trees
Hawk at my shoulder!!
Art Prescription: Today’s haiku is momentarily interrupted for a near hawk encounter. I was writing about Mourning Doves…when through my binoculars I caught a glimpse of something in the trees. I searched, but no find. Turned to walk and right there!!! over my left shoulder sat a big hawk. He/she looked at me and I startled…I mean really jumped it was that close! Then I just got quiet and watched. I wondered why this winged beauty was braving my presence. The hawk took off then to join a mate…

Snow and Birds February 13, 2014
Gentle falls the snow
Birds perch, shake off now and then
Sunflower seed, gone!
Art Prescription: Lovely snow and lucky my job does not require me to leave my cozy nest. When I worked as a nurse in the hospital, I used to go no matter what. Thank you to all the workers who are out there trying to keep people safe. The beautiful colors of the birds stands out against the stark white. Here is a sketch I will color tomorrow…stay tuned.
Vintage Cameras February 11, 2014
All the leaves are brown
And the sky is gray, dreaming
Such a winter day.
Art Prescription: A walk down vintage lane…strike a pose.
Planning February 10, 2014
Start here, end up there
Brain thinks, spirit takes over
Expressive painting!!
Art Prescription: Sometimes the best thing is to take brush and paint to paper!! You may not be creating a work of art. You may be doing your body, mind, and spirit some good by just letting go. Expressive painting increases your immune system. Now go…and let.
Dogwood Buds February 9, 2014
Flicker in the trees
Set sight with binocular
Songbird, dogwood buds.
Art Prescription: If you look close the swelling buds on the trees tell a story of renewal. Sketchbook…
Beech Trees February 8, 2014
Afraid to let go
Beech trees hold on to their leaves
Golden glow in winter.
Art Prescription: Lovely day. Hiked about four miles and saw a Kinglet!! (future painting) Spent some time field sketching, then back to studio to add watercolor. This is a work in progress.
