White Tail November 23, 2015

I see you…see me

And freeze with my ears straight up!

Next…you see white tail!

Art Prescription:  Finn had a check-up today with the vet. He had his sheath cleaned (horse people will understand this), and had his teeth “floated.” All in all a good bill of health. Thank you Dr. Maxwell!!

As I was leaving the farm I saw a pretty little deer in the pasture. For two seconds we met eyes…and then she bolted into the woods leaving an image of her bright-white tail in my view.

Low Gear November 22, 2015

Party is over

Time to shift gears, lower speed

To give thanks for all.

Art Prescription:  My Open Studio weekend is over. Was fun and successful. I’m very thankful. Now I hope to down-shift a bit and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday with family (I might sneak out to the farm to see Finn everyday).

Together November 20, 2015

Together we stand

Divided we fall…seek peace

It’s the only way

Art Prescription:  There are many things to divide us in life…religion, politics, egos… Let’s put all of that aside and realize that we are each just human beings under this camouflage. And we each have a gift to give this world we live in. Right here. Right now. Each and every day. Your gift.

Deer November 17, 2015

In November shade

Deer graze in waning sunset

Smell of fallen leaves

Art Prescription:  On the way home from the farm I always see deer grazing in the corn fields. My Open Studio is this weekend, so index cards are my go to art for now.

Hitchhiker November 15, 2015

Rural hitchhiker

Relies on stranger goodness

For a ride to church.

Art Prescription:  On the way home from feeding the horses, I came across a gentleman hitchhiking on highway 54. He was nicely dressed in a suit and my thought was that he was looking for a ride to church. Reminds me that despite of the news, there is complete and total goodness in people. If you pay more attention to the daily rituals of love and kindness that is the human species it will help you immensely.
