Extra Paint May 22, 2017
Turquoise, white, and red
Sat unused on the palette
A zinnia born.
Art Prescription: I finished two trees for UNC Hospitals today. Bittersweet…this work I do…honored. I had left over paint. So I headed to my studio, (I paint in my garage for these big pieces), and some zinnias bloomed.

Fresh Laundry May 9, 2017
Dried by sun and breeze
Clothes and towels hang on line
Load of fresh laundry.
Art Prescription: My grandmother’s towels smelled like fresh air and sunshine. I can see her right now with an apron on, clothespins in the pocket, reaching up to the clothesline to hang a fresh load of laundry.

Warm Bed March 18, 2017
Cold rainy morning
Warm blankets and cats call me
Back into my bed.
Art Prescription: Saturday morning. No place in particular to be. It’s cloudy and rainy and cold…brrrr. Warm cats, warm bed, is this really a decision?
Using my collage paper with the 1903 ledger and flowers, I then sewed my index card sketches onto the paper. Fun!!!
