Haiku July 25, 2013 Freshman

Long trails of students

File together through campus

Tour of their future.

Art Prescription:  Since my RN job is part of UNC,  I’m around students every day. They are young and eager and have the world in front of them. Today while waiting for my bus home a large group passed by. I couldn’t help but look at them with a sense of envy and relief!! Can you imagine being a freshman again? Can you imagine being a freshman again!!

Haiku July 23, 2013 In Her Prime

The bloom, in her prime

Stood out as a tall beauty

Delicate petals.

Art Prescription:  I find enormous pleasure watching the life cycle of flowers. It’s a build up of anticipation waiting for the bloom! Then bees and butterflies, in love with color, greedily ascend. As the flower begins to fade, the delicate structure remains beautiful.

Haiku July 20, 2013 Weddings and Thunder

Summer heat rises

White clouds billow with pressure

Thunder in distance.

Art Prescription:  As the summer heat creates storms, I’m finishing a couple of wedding commissions. These are especially rewarding to do. A new piece of art for the new couple, designed around their invitation.

Haiku July 15, 2013 Horses

Warm velvet soft nose

Smell of fresh hay and cut grass

Afternoon horse barn.

Art Prescription:  There is just something about being around horses. Their warm brown eyes and soft ears, majestic musculature, swishy tails, the smell of leather, and a historic relationship. We’ve long been bound to these creatures.
