March Lion March 17, 2014

March lion spits ice

Daffodils hang their heads low

With disappointment.

Art Prescription:  Seems March’s lion is having a final roar!! Snow and sleet. And still I walk and look at what nature has to offer. Nodding daffodils…

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!!

Snow Day January 28, 2014

Weather forecast, snow

All day I look to the sky

Excuse for milk, bread?

Art Prescription:  Okay, so I might wake up to a sea of white, but right now…I don’t see any snow!!! Since early morning the forecast for a winter storm has been all over television, radio, and Facebook. I did go to the grocery store for stamps, and they were out! Schools cancelled today. Many businesses closed early. Curious. Warm in my studio where I painted love birds.
