The end of lead rope
Command, control, compassion
Communication.
Art Prescription: The four C’s…day at farm…zen!

Thanksgiving 2013 November 28, 2013
Day with family
Old traditions, new babies
Some of them furry!
Art Prescription: The circle of life is so apparent at family gatherings. People change, children grow up and start having kids of their own, sons attempt to make their mother’s chocolate chiffon pie, and new additions add playfulness and future. I am grateful!!
Haiku April 10, 2013 Bird Bath
Fresh water they splash
Hop up to nearest branch, preen.
The local bird bath.
Art Prescription: Bird watching is a cure-all. Dress-code not required.
Haiku March 31, 2013 Trout-lily
If Trout-lilys played
A musical instrument.
They’d be violins.
Art Prescription: One of the main reasons I like sketching live is to feel the personality of a plant. As a certified botanical illustrator, we were taught to tell the plant’s story. Get your sketchbook and go out and draw…think you can’t draw? Just let your hand follow your eye. Get your brain, and what you think you see out of the way….just follow the contours of the subject.
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!
Haiku January 27, 2013 Creek Side
Trail along creek-side
Thick bramble, perches galore
A fest for sparrows!
Art Prescription: Explored a “new” old trail along the creek at Mason Farm. Binoculars in hand, magnificent birds, breast reflecting winter sun.
