Haiku December 18, 2012 Reflective Thoughts
Years end reflection
Light, shadow dance on water
A drop ripples out.
Art Prescription: As the year comes to a close it seems human nature to reflect. Each day, every movement, our thoughts, ripple out and effect our lives. Art and creativity can help channel emotion, bring us joy, and raise healthy brain chemicals! Go on now…start that project!!
Haiku December 16, 2012 Stark Contrast
Dark winter branches
Reach up. A perch for red birds
Proud presentation!
Art Prescription: The stark contrast of a red cardinal against grey winter skies bequest admiration!
Haiku December 14, 2012 Ocean Meets Sound
Ocean rolls in, melts
Eases to calm sound ripples
Current swirls beneath.
Art Prescription: Walked to the end of the island today where the ocean meets the sound. I left a Haiku O Gram there!!
Haiku December 13, 2012 Beach Escape
Steady waves crest white
Bubble and foam, make landfall
Gulls huddle for warmth!
Art Prescription: Here in North Carolina we are four hours from the mountains and 3 from the beach. Both directions make an excellent winter escape!! I think for right now my spirit needs the steady, rhythmic, reassuring sound of the ocean. Peace.
Haiku December 12, 2012 Winter Mist
Light cool winter mist
Creates halo around lights
Sparkly white and bright.
Art Prescription: Perhaps part of the tradition of hanging lights for the holidays is to chase away gray, winter days.
Haiku December 11, 2012 Poinsettia
Red poinsettia
Dark green leaves, velvet blossom
Holiday symbol!
Art Prescription: At this time of the year the stores are full of red and white showy poinsettias. A seasonal find, a must have decorative touch for the holidays.
Haiku December 10, 2012 Winter??
Barefoot December
Holiday red toes step out
Winter sky, warm ground!
Art Prescription: So I really walked barefoot to and from my studio today…winter!?! Nice but confusing. I’m ready to wear sweat-shirts and fuzzy socks and have the fire going!!!
Haiku December 9, 2012 Cotton Fields
Flat plowed cotton fields
Look like a dusting of snow
White wispy terrain.
Art Prescription: Sometimes life takes you east when you should have been going west!
Haiku December 7, 2012 Predictable Cat
Meow howl for chow
Long lick both chops, clean face, purr
Repeat twice a day!
Art Prescription: We have cats! Three! I’d love a dog too, but for now the cats rule! Artist throughout history have studied the long and graceful lines of cat behavior. My favorite is Steinlen! If you have pets they are perfect for gestural sketching…try and capture the essence of dog or cat -itude!
