Hand-sewn Quilt April 19, 2014

Grandma’s hand-sewn quilt

Cold and rainy April day

Three cats, one hubby.

Art Prescription:  Today was a day for cuddling. I’m blessed to have many hand-made quilts. Both sets of grandparents were quilters, so after a busy week the Dyer family all piled into bed under one and took a nap…bliss! Watercolor sketch on a 3 x 5 index card.

Small Town America April 12, 2014

Small town atmosphere

Kids, dogs,  Saturday shoppers

Work hard and play hard.

Art Prescription:  I did an art show today in Hillsborough, NC. What a picture perfect day. Sunshine, breeze, and people enjoying being a part of their neighborhood. One couple bought a piece they are taking to England. A young woman bought several pieces for her new home in Efland, NC, and another who is engaged to be married, picked up 3 works for her anticipated new life in Kansas! Lovely to meet my customers and see my art find homes!

Choose Love April 9, 2014

Where the sky is wide

Freshly plowed fields, deep orange

That’s where horses run.

Art Prescription:  The beauty of the rolling country on my way to Blue Skies Farm http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us calms my nervous system. Hello friend…choose love.

Hello Friend

Rushed Blooms April 8, 2014

In a rush to bloom

Flowers wait all winter long

For a few sweet days.

Art Prescription:  Sound familiar? We rush to be 16, and then we rush to be 21, and we rush to get through school and “start” our life. Don’t know about you…but these days I want to savor the moment.
