Indian Summer
Warm shades of yellows fill trees
Last wildflowers bloom.
Art Prescription: Here in North Carolina we have long season change…nice really.. I’m playing with making home-made stamps, used here and then inked a bit. Just fun!

Subtle Season October 6, 2013
Steady streams of leaves
Twirl to ground, still warm fall air
Autumn’s subtle move.
Art Prescription: Warm day, but Autumn sneaks in.
Dried Seeds October 5, 2013
Dried still-life on stem
A globe of abundant seeds
Gather and harvest.
Art Prescription: Gathering all the seeds in my garden…cosmos, cone-flower. Flowers are stunning when they are full of color, and I find a quiet kind of beauty in their dried state. The delicate lines amaze and invite me to take a closer look. Life is all about taking a closer look…how do you really feel…what do you really see…what reality do you really want. Take a closer look!!
Sensuous Rose October 4, 2013
Red October rose
Symbol of beauty and love
Scented, sensuous.
Art Prescription: Love of roses and their tantalizing scent has seduced and intoxicated people more than any other flower! The fossils of wild roses have been found as far back as forty million years ago.
Ocean Dreams October 3, 2013
Feel salt on my skin
Hear gulls laughing in the wind
Waves lap shore, rhythm.
Art Prescription: I could use a trip to the ocean about now. Long walks along the sand, listening to the waves rolling onto shore. Peaceful.
Barn Cat October 2, 2013
Curled in saw-dust pile
The barn cat nests in horse stall
Morning nap on farm!
Art Prescription: All the senses are awake at the farm. So much beauty to take in. Today I was particularly fond of seeing the barn cat rule. So at ease, so gentle, so, well, safe. I am working on ease…
Loss and Love October 1, 2013
Grief, like the ocean
Ripples or waves, knocks you down
River, salty tears.
Art Prescription: A sad day for me as a good feline friend left this world to another. She was a delight and my heart is a little broken. I pray for healing and recovery for her family.
Watercolor Wings September 30, 2013
A soothing series
Flitter, flutter, butterflies
Collection of wings!
Art Prescription: Taking a subject and doing multiples is skill building. You find out what works and what doesn’t, you can play with color, size, and composition. I’m doing these for a note card design for UNC Hospitals. Which one do you like?
Rest, restful September 29, 2013
Quiet time, Sunday
Sleep in a bit, wake up, stretch
Rest your weary soul.
Art Prescription: In a do, do, do society, have we forgotten how to rest? Rest our bodies, our minds, and our spirits. How do you renew? How do you tune-out the world in order to tune in to your core?
Changeling September 28, 2013
BE the change you want
Focus, awaken, believe
What does YES look like?
Art Prescription: To me YES looks like a butterfly flying gracefully over the sweet nectar that is life. And landing on a few flowers here and there to refuel. But always it’s about the sweet spot.
