Cardinal Visit

A flicker of red

Lands on feeder with presence

Heaven’s visitor.

Art Prescription: I got an Etsy order for a set of Cardinals. I’m sold out except for eight cards. I asked the buyer if I could send two other designs to complete the set.

He said they are for his wife and their son died nine years ago. Each time she sees a cardinal, she feels he is visiting.

I painted two original cards just for her.

I’m honored.

Snow

White, soft, cold, winter

Quiet, crunchy, cozy, home

Warm house, bare branches.

Art Prescription: just so iconic, a snow day!

White Poinsettia

Christmas in a pot

Classic is red and green and

White poinsettia.

Art Prescription: Matilda, my golden cat I pet sit, offered me a fresh poinsettia. I chose white for a change.

Snow Flurries

Sky back-lit with pink

Tiny snow flurries float down

Put my coat back on.

Art Prescription: I put out 250 lbs of hay to keep the horses warm tonight. As I worked snow flurries peppered the sky.

I started with a sketch done last year. An incomplete work.

I layered in more watercolor and then accented with acrylic. Now it fits my mood for the day.

Winter Sky

Leaves swirl in rain-storm

Covering wet, shiny road

A winter sky looms.

Art Prescription: Seemed it was raining leaves on back country roads.

Holiday with the Horses

Hi friends,

Today was Holiday with the Horses, an annual fund-raiser to provide under-privileged children an opportunity to attend horse camp.

We decorate the horses, such patient beings, and the riders get treats and a gift.

Finn was super good!
