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.

Haiku July 13, 2013 Pieces of Life

Life is a puzzle

At times all the pieces fit

At times parts are lost.

Art Prescription:  So what do you do on those days where things just don’t seem to fit together? What can you do to shift your mood to something better? Exercise, art, music, cook, pets…name your remedy! Please share!

Haiku July, 11, 2013 Steady Drizzle

Set out for a walk

Clouds gathered, distant rumble

Rain drops fall, I’m wet!!

Art Prescription:  This time of year a walk in a steady drizzle can actually be refreshing. Then my neighbor’s dog took off running wild through the woods, freaked by the thunder. I went off after him, poison ivy and all! Like a deer he shot through the bramble. Luckily he and his owner are both safely home, not sure who is more shaken. For me, a warm shower and a glass of wine should do.
