Karma goes around
Bricks laid with love are secure
With lies, no framework.
Art Prescription: Nature does a great job with teaching us about reliability. Seasons come and go, and nature knows her beauty to perform. Nature cannot fake you out…the bees know which way to go!! Trust your inner wisdom for guidance. Only you know what soothes your soul.
Daily life challenge
Opportunity to grow
Set new boundaries!
Art Prescription: Life events often give us the opportunity to set new rules!!!
Wren chortles tree top
Beagle bays at larger dog
Footsteps patter path.
Art Prescription: Beautiful day. Hard to stay focused and get work done. Sam home and we went for a walk. This time of day I find much amusement in the neighborhood dogs. Sounds tell us so much about what is going on in our environment!
April, cold wind whips
Winter’s final arctic chill
Shorts will have to wait.
Art Prescription: Brrrrr….chilly day. Had to turn my heat on in my studio to knock the chill off. Fortunately it will not freeze, so new annuals and fresh blossoms are safe. I’m glad my art show this weekend is inside.
Come see me in the Carolina Theater Sat. and Sun. April 28, and 29. Part of the Durham Art Walk!!
Yoga in the rain
Birds serenade while grass grows
Sunday, time to play.
Art Prescription: Finally a day to just play with paint! My studio is clean and ready for a show, which gives me hours to explore mixed media. I’ve been interested in graffiti-like effects lately. Playing with acrylics and spray paint. Tapped into my 16 year old self today with this mixed-media work. What do you remember from being 16?
Saturday at home
French toast and bird song, nice walk
Spaghetti dinner.
Art Prescription: Long Saturday! Sam worked in the yard and I cleaned my studio for an open studio Monday. Working around home is both tiring and relaxing. Good thing I married someone who likes home as much as I do!!
Old-fashion lilac
Grew well at my grandmother’s
Now I have my own.
Art Prescription: This is the best year yet for my lilac. I cut a vase full and brought them in. The whole room is scented! I took photos with my studio in the background, and this is a must paint flower!! Really need a scratch and sniff!
Sweet honeysuckle
Crow carries a piece of straw
Disappears in tree.
Art Prescription: Walking through my short path in the woods from the bus from work, the scent of honeysuckle filled my lungs. Ahhhh….I thought this is life! Then I heard a crow caw and saw her sitting tree-top beak filled with nesting material. I watched her as she circled around, to make sure no one saw her. Then she glided into a cedar tree and disappeared. Secret nest. This could mimicked the way I feel after leaving a busy day at my nursing job. I return to my nest and disappear…happily.
White fluffy seeds float
Spread by the wind they flourish
Snow-like in April.
Art Prescription: At one point today the air was filled with seed pods being blown about by the wind to find a place to plant and grow. Nature has several ways to spread seed, by wind, by bird, by insect. Being efficient is something I strive for everyday!
Warm sun long shadows
The woods now cool and shaded
Pansies stand and smile.
Art Prescription: Trying to learn something new is a challenge, but supposed to be good for the brain!!
