October Rain October 2, 2015
October comes in
With big buckets full of rain
Studio warm, dry.
Art Prescription: I love the sound of rain on my studio roof. So soothing as I lay down watercolor washes. Big clouds hover over North Carolina, but looks the hurricane is going out to sea. Fall is upon us…nice cool weather.

Bird Song October 1, 2015
Birds sing in the rain
They sing in the sun, they sing
Because they have song!!
Art Prescription: I love Maya Angelou and have used her beautiful quote in today’s Art Prescription.

Dream Job September 30, 2015
Don’t quit your dream job
Keep going day after day
Your spirit knows best!

Horses and Wind September 29, 2015
Burst of energy
September wind blows through trees
Horses like to run.
Art Prescription: I love watching the horses be horses. As I persevere at being authentic, nature’s wild-side reassures me that all of life is a circle.
Here is my horse Finn in the wind. 8 1/2 x 11 watercolor
Fall Mums September 28, 2015
Slow steady drizzle
Burrs in my horse’s damp mane
Fall mums in a vase.

Goldenrod September 27, 2015
Sea of goldenrod
All tones of yellow and green
Fall at Mason Farm
Art Prescription: Slow walk at Mason Farm today (yay my stress fracture is better). Beautiful array of fall wildflowers…wish I had taken my book to identify them.

Rainy Day Bliss September 26, 2015
Perfectly quiet
With the door open, pitter-
patter of rain, fresh.
Art Prescription: The breeze, the rain, and just me and the birds. I love painting in my studio on a rainy day. I keep the door wide open and listen to the soft fall of the rain. Soothing. Backyard birds visit for a sunflower or two.
8 x 8 watercolor “Little Bull”
Run With The Wind September 25, 2015
Run free with the wind
The sound of galloping hooves
Herd of wild horses.
Art Prescription: Despite the rain and wind, I went out after work to see Finn. Horses like to run in the wind, and Finn is no exception. I was going to brush him, but sensed his restless energy. I set him free back into the pasture and then watched as he and his friends ran and frolicked in the wind!! So beautiful this wild, belongs to nature, creature. In awe…

Little Bull Two September 24, 2015
Just as I am now
My big brown eyes, hello world
I’m standing up now.
Art Prescription: Super excited about my new tag for The Art Prescription Deck: A Dose of Coloring Inspiration. Met with printer today and it’s looking like this baby will sail! And I feel this project is my soul work…so hang on…I’ve got to go do this!
