Quiet Walk July 21, 2014

Thick, humid July

Grey broody sky hangs heavy

Sly seasonal shift.

Art Prescription:  Twas unusually quiet on my evening walk. Just a couple of frogs croaking and an occasional bird. I sense the season beginning to change. Spring and summer are petering out, and though we have many warm days ahead, there is a subtle change in the air.

This is a work in progress with many layers so far…not sure where it’s going…

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 October 15, 2012 Life Cycle

Like swing ride at fair

Cosmo seed globes burst outward

Wait for wind to bed.

Art Prescription:  My Cosmos are still blooming! So on one plant I have at least four stages of their life cycle:  bud, flower, fertilize, seed! The seed globes are mini sculptures, delicate, and highly designed! Nature is a master architect!
