Familiar blooms
Return each year along path
Rhythm of nature.
Art Prescription: I’m a creature of habit. I like familiar. I like home. I like to see nature’s bounty each year in all my familiar places.

Cold Rain March 13, 2017
Cold, chill to the bone
Steady drizzle and down-pours
Early springs revenge.
Art Prescription: So we have had record high temperatures, and now we are having record low temperatures.
Index card with watercolor and colored pencil:
Suddenly February 12, 2017
Suddenly it’s spring
A shift in the wind, a tease
Winter is not done.
Art Prescription: Very spring-like day here in North Carolina. I have a feeling that winter has another round of frigid. Right now…I turned my AC on…in February?
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Somewhere February 3, 2017
Somewhere in quiet
All things move forward with plan
To produce beauty.
Art Prescription: This is a recycled painting. Put it into the recycle bin, literally…and then kept seeing it as I walked past. Cut it up and used it for this index card art.
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!
Spring Fireworks March 31, 2014
Bright yellow fireworks
Dot the edge of the forest
Spring celebration!
Black Crow March 11, 2014
Sheen like dark jewels
Wings catch March morning sun-shine
Black crow by the pond.
Art Prescription: Nothing sweeter than spring walks and painting with studio door wide-open!
Love is February 3, 2014
Love is in the air
Along with hot and cold waves
Birds look for houses.
Art Prescription: The weather goes up and down like a roller-coaster. Warm front…arctic blast. My layers of coats and jackets hang ready in the closet. Meanwhile, the birds seem to be right on track.
Prelude February 2, 2014
Prelude to spring-time
Young tendrils prepare for launch
And the chase is on!!
Art Prescription: Nature knows…
