A mare and her foal
Tender moment by the woods
Motherly essence.
Art Prescription: Spent my morning at the farm riding Finn with my Women’s Intuitive Riding group. I always leave there floating on air, as if every worry in my world has evaporated into the ethers.
I think I’m finished with this mare and her foal. Feedback welcome…
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor
She sits on the pier
Overlooks her cove, the sea
Comes and goes with tides.
Art Prescription: The seagulls were of course charming…Playing with crayons, so fun!! Try it! Watercolor background and then crayon sketching.
5 x 7 watercolor and crayon
A Digby boat launch
Out into grey-blue waters
Working piece of art.
Art Prescription: Hi folks! Last two days I’ve had technical difficulty, aka got a new iPhone and don’t know how everything works yet!! In the meantime I’ve finished my first Nova Scotia painting. It’s kind-of intimidating to try and capture the romance and color we saw while there.
Watercolor and pen and ink 8 1/2 x 11
Still wet from the rain
Cut delicate pink roses
Adorn a glass vase.
Art Prescription: Oh how I will miss being able to go out into the garden for freshly cut flowers.
Watercolor on 5 x 7 bristol
Leaves gather on ground
Float on by, hit my windshield
And it’s still ninety.
Art Prescription: Fall comes in subtle.
Index card with watercolor, pen and ink, and my chop that says “hope”
Deep among palm trees
A paradise of color
A tropical perch!
Art Prescription: As fall creeps into the Carolina’s, I went down south a bit with my paint brush.
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor
With each new look up
I see more leaves losing green
Gaining fall color.
Art Prescription: I love fall! Each season has beauty and gifts, and I will miss summer’s pollinators!
Index card with watercolor:
Purple coneflower
Petals whither, fresh thistle
For yellow goldfinch.
Art Prescription: I so enjoy hearing the sweet sound of the goldfinches coming for thistle.
Watercolor with my chop that says “hope”
August is leaving
Long hot days, cooler mornings
September at door.
Art Prescription: A late summer posey on a 5 x 7 index card…watercolor.
Adult coloring
A garden on paper for
Colored pencil fun.
Art Prescription: Tomorrow I’m teaching an adult coloring class at the NC Botanical Garden. “Teaching” coloring doesn’t really represent what I do. What I will really be doing is giving adults permission to play. To allow themselves the freedom to put color to paper while their blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing all slow down to a meditative state.
Here is my colored version of the pen and ink:
