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.
Watercolor 5 x 7
Hang on. I need to
Catch my breath, know where to go
And focus, focus!!
Art Prescription: Today I did not spin off the earth.

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.

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.
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…
Just caught a snowflake
Big, white amazing design
Melted in my hand.
Art Prescription: 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 watercolor
Clouds race across sky
Pines and people hunch, brace cold
Groundhog’s prediction!
Art Prescription: As temperatures dip…seems we are in for more winter.

Muddy boots under
A red velvet dress, kick-up
Halo around moon.
Art Prescription: Watercolor, pen and ink, and my chop that says “hope.”
Quite simply where will
Lonely dreaming take you now?
No need for a map.
Art Prescription: I recently heard a talk about boredom. Because we are all so plugged in constantly, we allow no time for loneliness or boredom. And boredom may be where great ideas come from!! The mind, quiet from distraction, listens to the creator within. Voila! A dream is born…
