A walk in the woods
Came upon a bank of white
White, fluffy, Snowdrops!
Art Prescription: What a delightful surprise to find!
Snowdrops

Wild Lily April 17, 2017
White glow in meadow
Lilies among tall grasses
Wild Easter Lily.
Art Prescription: I’ve been seeing these beautiful lilies in the woods and meadows at Mason Farm. They are Atamasco Lily (Zephranthes atamasco) and they flourish in wetlands.

Young Leaves April 16, 2017
Gentle breeze ripples
Branches with fresh young leaves sway
Steady rolling waves.
Art Prescription: How peaceful to stand under a new canopy of leaves and experience the wind.

Eastern Columbine April 9, 2017
Crushed seeds are love charm
When rubbed on the hands of men
This nodding flower.
Art Prescription: So my garden is full of these beauties. Shall I try a spell?

Delicate March 23, 2017
Tremble in their frame
Delicate ephemerals
Up from frozen ground.
Art Prescription: About now the banks of creeks are full of blooming Trout Lilies. I adore their delicate nodding heads.

Coming Soon February 20, 2017
Anxious to burst forth
Buds on trees wait their turn to
Add color to woods.

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?

Winter Visitor October 20, 2016
As the garden wains
My imagination comes
To stay for winter.
Art Prescription: My favorite way to paint…random chaos, drips and puddles, blooms, that become a wildflower meadow.

Grab a Jacket October 5, 2016
First truly cool day
The pool chairs all stacked up now
October takes hold.
Art Prescription: Perfect for horseback riding!!
Design June 19, 2016
Infinite design
The ultimate architect
Snowflake and flower.
Art Prescription: Seems the same perfect designs show up in all of nature’s creations. My wonderful neighbors brought me a bouquet of Bachelor’s Button. I did this study of a single flower.
