None of us know now
What life is going to be
Wading through water.
Art Prescription: So we go about our days staying afloat.

Wading Through Water

New Ideas
Time to perculate
Bring the gerbil in to home
Off the running wheel!
Art Prescription: Having extra time to work on some ideas has been nice.
I’m hoping to soon list an embroidery kit in my Etsy shop.
Bird Song October 1, 2015
Birds sing in the rain
They sing in the sun, they sing
Because they have song!!
Art Prescription: I love Maya Angelou and have used her beautiful quote in today’s Art Prescription.

Pasture Sun Set September 18, 2015
On the other side
Of the pasture, the sun sets
Cool mist over ground.
Art Prescription: I went out to the farm to meet the farrier so Finn could get his “pedicure.” After two busy RN days, a chance to slow down and enjoy the horses was a welcome situation. I stayed until the sun began to sink on the horizon. Gazing out on a field of happily grazing horses is peace for my soul, beauty for my eyes, quiet for my ears, and love for my heart.

Catch my breath, know where to go
And focus, focus!!
Art Prescription: Today I did not spin off the earth.

House Hunt February 23, 2015
Familiar song
He chortles from the tree top
Totally for her.
Art Prescription: Male birds know how to serenade the females. They sing their hearts out just to get her interest. Sweet! Blue birds start their romance in February.

This Town February 20, 2015
Been hanging round this
Town for so, so long, walk paths
Just like yesterday.
Art Prescription: As I walked to the bus, lunch in hand, I cornered the UNC School of Nursing. Been hanging around this town for a long time. This, it occurs to me, is my life…
Pet sitting for my favorite neighbor cat…watercolor sketching her while visiting.
Sketchbook February 19, 2015
Layers and bundles
Mittens and hoods, gloves and scarves
Morning on the bus.
Art Prescription: It was 14 degrees when I got on the bus this morning. A serious cold snap is causing even the bravest North Carolinian to put up their flip-flops!!
Sketch on the bus…

Shadow February 12, 2015
Clouds race across sky
