Like swing ride at fair
Cosmo seed globes burst outward
Wait for wind to bed.
Art Prescription: My Cosmos are still blooming! So on one plant I have at least four stages of their life cycle: bud, flower, fertilize, seed! The seed globes are mini sculptures, delicate, and highly designed! Nature is a master architect!
Last fall flowers bloom
Seed pods stand over meadow
Release fancy wings.
Art Prescription: We walked our favorite place, Mason Farm. Seems just a week or so ago the open meadows were filled with yellow Partridge Peas and pink wild roses. Now a few asters remain and interesting seed pods take the place of flowers. A sea of golden rod, yellow grasses and a hint of reds now stretches out against the wooded backdrop. We did see a pretty striped snake along the trail. Mason Farm is a beautiful nature preserve with a few different habitats. Lots of birds, owls, foxes, coyote, to name a few! A great place for a nature sketcher!
I feel your warm breath
Purr vibrates until you fall
Asleep by my side.
Art Prescription: Few things are sweeter to me than having a warm, purring cat by my side! I love to sketch the lines of my cats.
Red velvet petals
Surely the scent of great love
Last October rose.
Art Prescription: No wonder famous par-fumes get their recipe from nature! Few flowers measure up to the smell of a freshly bloomed rose!
Symphony in trees
Silver streaks of black birds fly
South for the winter!
Art Prescription: If you wake to a cacophony of birds in the trees, it’s likely flocks and flocks of black birds making their way south for winter. They are so noisy! And then one flap of the wing sends the whole bunch of them off to follow the pack. Nature’s rhythm amazes me! How at just the right time flora and fauna know their job…no questioning or laboring like us humans…should of, could of, would of, what if…
Love is currency
Thai soup, home-made bread, laundry!
Account status: Full!
Art Prescription: In life there are many hours we simply cannot bill for. The major categories are house-work, yard-work, food gathering and preparing, and for mom’s with kids this list is infinity. The pay is love. Creativity comes in many forms!! What a luxury to be able to spend a day adding to life’s account with hand and heart!
Is it real or fluff?
Cotton- ball clouds full of steam
Sunset pulls from sky.
Art Prescription: How much of what people tell you is their ego building up fluff? Humans…such an odd bunch. All trying to reach some imaginary high! Ever cloud watch? Imagine what you see? We all want to see what we want to see. The reality our life has led us to. Are you living real or are you living fluff? The same sun and moon hang in all our skies. Peace-out!
No kissing allowed
He leaves, I feel forgotten
Colds are not sexy!!!!!
Art Prescription: I’m writing with a box of tissue on hand. Do you remember your first kiss? A simple cold would not keep me from attempting to share my germs with my 7th grade boyfriend. All things change. After 21 years of marriage, here I am almost 2 1/5 weeks in the guest room. The first week was me trying to not get my beloved’s cold. The next week, allowing him to sleep without waking to my persistent cough. Ain’t marriage grand!! Can I get a kiss hello? A hug?
Crickets and frogs sing
Through my open window now
As moon sweeps the sky!
Art Prescription: Going to sleep to the tune of the woods, a cool breeze crossing my sheets, and the harvest moon lighting the way, bliss! A very simple pleasure!
Great Grandmother’s quilt
Offers warmth as degrees drop
Stitch by stitch with love.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky to have about five quilts made by my ancestors. Both my mom’s mother and my dad’s parents quilted, and this is back in the day where it was all done by hand! I remember my grandmother’s living room being transformed into a quilting bee as the furniture was moved back, the quilt racks went up, and she and my aunt would sit and sew for hours. Today I did a watercolor sketch of a section of quilt just for fun. Look around your house to find inspiration!
