Silver belt goes round
Luggage drops, red ribbon?, sigh
And now! Take me home!
Art Prescription: I’m home from New York. Fantastic trip! Did a little doodle on the flight…

Haiku May 3, 2013 Parts of a Whole
Final coat of paint.
The muse looks and nods and cuts!
Parts greater than whole!
Art Prescription: The last few posts including today’s are all part of one painting. After several layers of reworking, this piece was just not happening. When you feel stuck with art, go for a walk and see what happens. I came back from my walk and began to cut the one piece up into about 5 small trading card size miniatures. Each one had an interesting texture and spoke to me. I worked quickly with pen and ink feeling satisfied with all my parts!! Try it!
Haiku April 25, 2013 Show Girls
Lined up like Rockettes
Poppies don fancy collars
All together now!
Art Prescription: A late afternoon watercolor sketch of my poppies. They just have so much character!! Would be a specimen to spend hours on a botanical rendering, but a quick pen and ink and watercolor allows me to do a fun study! Never let “I don’t have time” be a reason not to pick up your art supplies! Keep them handy and just put down a mark or two…it will do you good.
Haiku April 10, 2013 Bird Bath
Fresh water they splash
Hop up to nearest branch, preen.
The local bird bath.
Art Prescription: Bird watching is a cure-all. Dress-code not required.
Haiku March 27, 2013 Sketch Fun
A pen and paper
Expressive sketch, just capture
The essence of cat.
Art Prescription: Part of the Art Prescription philosophy is to encourage creativity any where, any time. Nothing has to be perfect, just play and have fun.
Haiku March 19, 2013 Wildflowers
Inches from the ground
Spring ephemerals flower
Some think they are weeds.
Art Prescription: There is no such thing as a weed! Until man started trying to have lawns…
Haiku March 4, 2013 Southern Pines
Bird bath is frozen
Last year’s seed are ground sculptures
The southern pine cone.
Art Prescription: A meditation drawing. Only allow yourself a limited time. Don’t get caught up in too much detail. Breath…
Haiku March 3, 2013 Red Maple
Red maple buds brace
Cold March wind, still need a scarf.
Rose colored halo.
Art Prescription: Everyday something grows.
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 December 22, 2012 Flock as One
A wave of blackbirds
Move as one mass over trees
Wings vibrate the air!
Art Prescription: Instead of the mall, my love and I walked almost 6 miles in the woods today, which seemed to be brimming with activity…snow coming? As we walked our familiar path a flock of black-birds came up across the trees with an amazing presence. The sound of thousands of birds chirping, and the thunder-like vibration of their one for all flight, shook the woods. I stood in the brown, grassy meadow in complete awe, and wholly grateful for this serene moment.
