As soon as I leave
I want to return to this
Place where geese fly by.
Art Prescription: Meadows are my favorite spots. And a meadow with horses…well “As soon as I leave, I want to return.”
Watercolor, pen and ink, 5 x 11.

Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Peace September 24, 2014
Looking for dharma
I sit quiet, lotus pose
Breathe in peace, shanti.
Art Prescription: Pen and ink sketch…
Winter Rest February 4, 2014
Grey, cold, and rainy
Gravity takes over now
A good winter rest.
Art Prescription: Set out to my studio to paint a colorful spring forest. Reality took over and I painted what I was feeling…really feeling.
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…
Haiku August 29, 2013 Listen
Does your body speak?
Do you listen? True to self?
Well, take a big leap!
Art Prescription: Art Rx…
August Rain August 21, 2013
Ah, cool August rain
Comes in on heals of thunder
Leaves air fresh and cool!
Art Prescription: This morning outdoors was a sauna. I was taking photos of new art, and the heat felt like a wet blanket. After a good rain, the air felt much cooler…went for a nice walk.
Haiku July 2, 2013 Jazz Band
In the summer marsh
The centipede plays rhythm
Frogs sing harmony!
Art Prescription: With all the rain we have had, most creeks and wetlands are abundant with creatures. The sounds of nature amuse me! There is a story in each moment.
Haiku May 14, 2013 Surtex
Countdown to Surtex
So I dig, plant annuals
Get myself grounded.
Art Prescription: I leave in a couple of days for Surtex in New York. I’m both excited and nervous. I’ve done this show a few times, but every year it all feels new. Along with Surtex is the National Stationery Show, the Contemporary Furniture Show, and this year an arts and crafts section which I’m thrilled to see. I do love home though, so today I worked a bit planting my garden so I have peace to come back to!
Haiku April 15, 2013 Go Easy
Gentle on my mind
Nature has a steady pace
Keeps time with my heart.
Art Prescription: In a world that’s wound up so tight that a high percentage of kids are on Attention Deficit Disorders medications, I plea…get thee to the woods.
