She Let Go December 1, 2016

A full box, heavy

How to let go? find lightness?

Soar free like a bird.

Art Prescription:  Our lungs are the organs that carry grief…no wonder so many people become ill with colds and coughs around the holidays. Let’s do this different!! Be grateful for each day. Live in the moment. Realize that all you have is all you need!

Out at the farm with Finn this afternoon I saw a flock of geese returning to their roost. Amazing to see how they all work together.

Farm Sketching May 20, 2014

Laundry flaps in wind

Mares graze, tall grass, buttercups

Afternoon at farm.

Art Prescription:  I sit and watch…observe their ears, their eyes, their tales as they swish at flies. They know I’m there. One of the most joyful things about sketching is simply the art of observation. I notice the sights, sounds, and smells of my surroundings. I get still and take it all in.Blue Skies May 20

Hearts a bursting September 15, 2013

Pink sneakers, white hat

Walk my path as sun settles

My Hearts-a-bustin.

Art Prescription:  Euonymus americanus – Bursting Heart, Hearts-a-bustin’, Strawberry Bush.. E. americanus is a shrub with thin stems and opposing, shallowly serrated leaves. The bush grows from 4 to 6 feet tall. Fruit is a red 4-lobed capsule. Each lobe splits open in the autumn, giving the name Bursting Heart.

There are many days that we may feel our hearts are bursting, with joy, with praise, and with sorrow.

A poem for someone to find

It’s haiku-o-gram!!

Art Prescription:  My haiku-a-day is branching out. Today I hung Haiku-o-gram 2, since 1 launched. This project is all about delight! and I’m writing haikus on recycled pieces of art. My intention is to purely surprise and brighten someone’s day. A little gift  flapping in the wind!! It’s fun to do something unexpected!!
