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 March 24, 2013 Rain Hike

Rainy day nature

Sharp wind blows umbrella up!

Peaceful, creek babbles.

Art Prescription:  Even on a grey, windy, rainy, cold, day, I need to get out and convene with nature! Nature walking in the rain is actually quiet soothing. Droplets pitter-patter your umbrella, everything smells fresh, and the sounds of water running downstream is musical.
