Roses, shades of pink
Fleshy, velvety petals
Just now, freshly cut.
Art Prescription: Heading towards summer and joyful flower cutting from my garden.

Ecstasy October 27, 2016
Can the rose define
Flowers, well if anyone
She can say it all.
Art Prescription: I adore everything about roses…their smell, their soft, velvet petals, their slight attitude with thorns…and the simple fact that a bunch of roses says love.

Delicate hues of soft pinks
Sumptuous orange.

Open Studio 2014 December 6, 2014
Open studio
Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!
Art Prescription: Today was a cold, wet, rainy day! And my friends and neighbors still came out to celebrate my open studio with me. Thanks y’all!! For those of you who live a little far off…
Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Come In My Muse June 2, 2014
Pause, ponder, produce
The muse, her senses keen, waits
Open door, “Come in.”
Art Prescription: So my good friend Farley said to me today, “pause, ponder, produce.” I just adore that. I invite you to do the same!! And let your muse in to “pause, ponder, produce.” Aho!
Storytelling May 24, 2014
Rose grows empty lot
Her red blooms tell a story
An era gone by.
Art Prescription: We are all planting seeds. Some we will see grow and flourish, and others we will leave behind for the future. Plant well my friend…
Looking Forward 2014 December 31, 2013
I can see clearly
Through these rose colored glasses
And the scent…divine.
Art Prescription: I think my theme for looking forward to a new year is all about roses! A few thoughts:
Rose Colored Glasses – Optimism and gratitude work!
A Bed of Roses – Seek comfort everyday…make your home your haven.
Everything is coming up roses – Expect the best…dream…and plan for them to come true.
Rose Scented Water – Yep, bathe in it!
A Rose is a Rose – Be authentic…be you!
Speak your own Voice December 16, 2013
A rose is a rose
And how you view it is art!
Speak your own true voice!
Art Prescription: One of my favorite things about art is the experience of people taking a subject and making it true to their spirit. While working on watercolor roses today, my friend Farley Bernholz, took it to a whole new level. Go Farley! Now this is expressive!!!
