Dances in the winter brush
Flirting with the wind.

White glow in meadow
Lilies among tall grasses
Wild Easter Lily.

New Years Eve Walk December 31, 2016
Leaves shiver in breeze
Cool, grey, wintry, cloudy, sky
Fluffy birds huddle.
Art Prescription: I can’t think of a better way to end the year than a nature walk with my sketchbook and my love. Just us and our footsteps together for a 25th New Years Eve. Our lives are blessed and happy, and my wish for everyone is to find the simple beauty of each and every day. Oh yea, and make some art! Here’s to 2017!

Melting Snow January 30, 2016
Birds bathe, babbling creek
Preen in warm winter sunshine
Melting snow runs south.
Art Prescription: Walked Mason Farm with my love today. There are still patches of snow on the ground, but the birds don’t mind. They hop about energetically on a brisk January day.

Euphonious October 20, 2015
Sharp, bright, fall sunlight
Euphonious, crickets hum
Musical meadow.
Art Prescription: The sun is sharp these days. Once up, she burns off frosted windshields…moves on to de-thaw grass. And still the crickets hum softly in the meadow.

What are You Chasing? January 26, 2015
Running down a dream
We chase money, fame, fortune
Chance to simply bloom.
Art Prescription: To be at peace with yourself is to be at peace with others…What are we chasing? A flower plans a whole year just to bloom, if only for one day…
