Cool, moist, after rain
Swollen creeks babble and flow.
Fog sits low on trees.
Art Prescription: Lot of spring rain for flower power!!

Haiku February 22, 2013 Spring Fever
Winter’s hand plays deal
Cold spreads, coat and hat required
Spring at finger-tips!
Art Prescription: Although my walk today was in a wintery mist, I know spring is coming! The signs of spring lift my spirits.
Haiku February 16, 2013 Snowflakes
Big, fluffy snowflakes
Drift down like a heavy rain
Each design unique!
Art Prescription: The natural world reminds me often that we are all unique! There is not another person or thing like us, which is what makes our individuality extra special!!
Haiku February 15, 2013 Essence
Capture pure essence
With a simple line, gesture
Sketch a piece of life.
Art Prescription: I love drawing quick pen and ink sketches of my cats! Keep a sketchbook handy and try capturing some moments of your day…a piece of fruit, a pet, birds at feeder, just keep your hand moving across the page! You can capture a lot with a few lines!
Haiku February 14, 2013 Valentines
Sit in pure stillness
Disconnect from busy world
Notice something new.
Art Prescription: On my bus rides to and from my RN job just about every person has their nose to their smart-phones. No one is looking out the window to see the lovely flock of robins, or the way the light reflects off the buildings, or the simple beauty of a sunset. No wonder depression is on the rise! I feel like a Florence Nightingale of the 2000’s. I think everyone needs fresh air, exercise, and nature… Give yourself a Valentine…
Haiku February 13, 2013 Resolutions
Each day a new chance
Full of possibilities
Go! Embrace your goals!
Art Prescription: Perhaps spring is a better time to make resolutions. The days are getting longer, and the promise of new growth is inspiring! Hug your Valentine!
Haiku February 8, 2013 Doodle Art
Below the surface
Spring networks, organizes
New cotyledons!
Art Prescriptions: A cotyledon is the first leaves of a seedling…first up for many spring wildflowers. While working on a multi-layered painting, I did a pen and ink doodle and colored it in.
Haiku February 7, 2013
Playground in my mind
Wishes, dreams swing to and fro
Sleep on satin sheets.
Art Prescription: Launching dreams requires adequate rest!!
Haiku February 6, 2013 Daffodils
On the forest ridge
In a mass of winter browns
Yellow daffodils!
Art Prescription: Walking in the woods this time of year, the changes happen in days. Seemed these daffodils appeared like magic!
Haiku January 5, 2013 Daybreak
Rewards at daybreak
Pink clouds and blue birds, light sky
Perfect stillness, awe!
Art Prescription: Just…well…the sky.
