A dramatic sky
Traces the path of spring storms
Winds of March are near.

Suddenly trees bloom

Like pink snow salting branches

First sign of true spring.

Art Prescription:  Seems trees flowered overnight…

Rainy day sunshine

A western saddle on a

Fifteen-three hands horse!

Pasture wildflowers

Speedwell, Purple Dead Nettle

Dot grass with color.

Index card with graphite and colored pencil:

Capillary like

New growth and buds branch from mains

Winter moon, pink sky.

Art Prescription:  How similar tree anatomy is to our human nervous and venous system is astonishing!

8 x 8 graphite and finger painting!! yep finger painting!!

Despite vigorous

Attempts to stay oh so young

Forgotten freedom.

Art Prescription:  It’s the glossy magazine way. Stay young and bake excellent chocolate cake! In an effort to measure up to the “standards,” did you forget to be you?

Next layer on my Buffalo – colored pencil”

And some days you roam

Where the deer and buffalo

Roam if you want to.

Art Prescription:  Circa B 52’s. You just never know where a day will take you…

Buffalo – work in progress:

Paper towel blooms

Flower on my journal page

Like cut-out cookies.

Art Prescription:  I had two lovely ladies come today for an art journaling session. I always learn from my participants. While painting with watercolor I always have a blotter paper towel, and they had used their blotter towels in previous journal entries. I spread my towel out and these flowers bloomed from the random paint blots. How fun!!
