Farm Sketching May 20, 2014
Laundry flaps in wind
Mares graze, tall grass, buttercups
Afternoon at farm.
Art Prescription: I sit and watch…observe their ears, their eyes, their tales as they swish at flies. They know I’m there. One of the most joyful things about sketching is simply the art of observation. I notice the sights, sounds, and smells of my surroundings. I get still and take it all in.

Small Town America April 12, 2014
Small town atmosphere
Kids, dogs, Saturday shoppers
Work hard and play hard.
Art Prescription: I did an art show today in Hillsborough, NC. What a picture perfect day. Sunshine, breeze, and people enjoying being a part of their neighborhood. One couple bought a piece they are taking to England. A young woman bought several pieces for her new home in Efland, NC, and another who is engaged to be married, picked up 3 works for her anticipated new life in Kansas! Lovely to meet my customers and see my art find homes!
