In the fall garden
Pink buds, zinnias still bloom
Hold on to color.
Art Prescription: As the trees steadily drop leaves, my zinnias bloom.

Hello October 17, 2016
Little biddy bit
A new experience, farm
And great big horses!
Art Prescription: My friend Bonnie and her two sweet pups went to the farm today to meet the herd. It was so interesting to watch these tiny dogs with the horses. The one word that says it all is “gentle.” Both the dogs and the horses were calmly inquisitive, sniffing the other as if to say hello.

Geese October 16, 2016
In the gloaming now
The geese line up to take flight
And with one sound, whoosh!
Art Prescription: I love watching animals communicating. They seem to do such a better job than us humans. In unison bird flocks, horse herds, and geese make a move at the same time, as if choreographed.

Loyalty October 14, 2016
Waiting in the truck
With tail wagging loyalty
I know the routine.
Art Prescription: I think routine is just as important for our animals as it is for us. They look forward to their steady dose of love.

Endings October 13, 2016
Heard the news today
People and things come and go
The circle of life.
Art Prescription: One of my favorite horses is leaving the farm. I will miss this gentle giant, and grieve. Gives a slight meaning to “birds of a feather.”

Becoming October 12, 2016
In a rush to be
Perfect, we lose sight of those
Moments becoming.
Art Prescription: We are all novices at life…

Nature specimens
Watercolor discipline
A technique practice.
Art Prescription: Bird feathers and eggs are a good way to explore the many ways to lay down watercolor on paper. Today in my studio we explored wet on wet, and blending watercolors.

Dreams October 10, 2016
With right conditions
Buried dreams take sprout and grow
Find your treasure map.
Art Prescription: When the squirrel buried a seed, it had no idea that the seed would sprout and grow into a sunflower. Follow your dreams, ask for what you want, plant a seed, and watch it grow.

Day After October 9, 2016
Bright sun and blue skies
Horses frisky after storm
And then there is hay.
Art Prescription: The horses were a little frisky this morning during feeding. As if to say, “yesterday was rainy,” and now we want our routine. Don’t we all like our routine? Feelings of safety and security? Full belly? Grateful…
