Haiku March 1, 2013 Evergreens and Buds

Showy evergreens

Delight brown and grey woodlands

Trees burst with new buds!

Art Prescription:  As winter has a few final days, it’s cold and windy, and grey. As much as I love the sculptural quality of bare winter trees, it’s nice to see some color. The pines, spruces, and hollies provide lovely greens throughout winter.

Where ever you go

There you most certainly are

Key is to fit in.

Art Prescription:  I guess the theme this week is uniqueness. A key to life, however, seems to be to be able to fit in where you are. To blend, be a good listener, and hope people around you feel heard, acknowledged, and at ease.

Haiku February 17, 2013 Introvert

Alone, not lonely

Quiet time spent with my own

Imagination.

Art Prescription:  There are those of us who love a party, lots of people, loud music, a hoping good time. And there are those of us who love quiet walks in the woods, lots of birds, sounds of nature, and creative solitude.  No judgement here. Just be who you are and hope the world will honor that!

Haiku February 15, 2013 Essence

Capture pure essence

With a simple line, gesture

Sketch a piece of life.

Art Prescription:  I love drawing quick pen and ink sketches of my cats! Keep a sketchbook handy and try capturing some moments of your day…a piece of fruit, a pet, birds at feeder, just keep your hand moving across the page! You can capture a lot with a few lines!
