Big bold pink petunias
Color out to play!
Art Prescription: Play…

Haiku September 1, 2013 Art Gift
Garden art fairy
Sketches and paints for shear bliss
A gift to stranger.
Art Prescription: I went to the North Carolina Botanical Gardens today to field sketch. Using pen and ink and watercolor pencils, I worked on 3 x 5 index cards. And as I finished one I gave it to the first person who came by.
Haiku July 8, 2013 Spiragira!
Sun spiragira
Intricate patterns emerge
Rings of rays blossom,
Art Prescription: Did you know the “petals” of the sunflower are not true petals? The true flowers are the tiny rays that form the amazing spiral design on the head of a sunflower and many other “ray” flowers. Here’s another watercolor pencil sketch, finished with a quick big brush of water.
Haiku July 7, 2013 Be Brave
With the will of ants
Nature’s determination
It’s time to be brave.
Art Prescription: Have you ever watched the determination of an ant, or group of ants, trying to carry something. One ant will try to move something 10 times its size.
