Winter Wind December 10, 2014

I am listening

To the winter wind, trees sway

Year end moves forward.

Art Prescription:  Winter is upon us…into the 20’s tonight. How grateful I am to have a warm house and heat that comes on at a moments touch. Blankets and quilts and fluffy robes…truly the riches of the holidays.

Holiday traffic

All the fixings, loaded carts

Plans for gratitude.

Art Prescription:  Wow, holiday hustle and bustle. My hope is that as we all sit down to share Thanksgiving dinner, we will also give thanks for the natural world around us. It’s pretty amazing…

Summer Dreaming June 19, 2014

Bougainvillea

A long walk on the hot sand

Sea glimmers turquoise.

Art Prescription:  I’m off from my nursing job, and dreaming of vacation. Long beach walks, sea gulls laughing, salty breeze, palm trees rattling in the wind, and sunsets over the sea.

All is Calm December 26, 2013

Two thousand thirteen

Slips cooly out the back-door

All is calm and bright!

Art Prescription: For some the holiday season comes to a roaring halt, moms and dads exhausted, children over-stimulated and cranky, people wishing they were really HOME for the holidays. Okay, I’m not bah-humbug. I just think simple is better. Peace is good…
