Blackberries June 21, 2016

A deer clears the fence

Horses lift their heads from grass

Blackberries galore.

Art Prescription:  Went out to see Finn this afternoon. So serene in the pasture. A single deer comes bolting out of no where and jumps over the fence. Stellar athelete! Meanwhile there are ripening blackberries all along the woods.

Design June 19, 2016

Infinite design

The ultimate architect

Snowflake and flower.

Art Prescription: Seems the same perfect designs show up in all of nature’s creations. My wonderful neighbors brought me a bouquet of Bachelor’s Button. I did this study of a single flower.

Supine June 17, 2016

Supine on the couch

My “adventures” have caught up

Nature reassures.

Art Prescription:  After such a stressful couple of weeks, I think today I caved into the exhaustion. I’m not one to be down, but the forces as of late seem to be gravity at it’s best. I did wander out into my garden late afternoon to pick some flowers…simple things bring me the most joy!

White Moon June 16, 2016

White moon, a blue sky

Thick rows of velvety corn

Rode-side Silver Queen.

Art Prescription:  It seems the corn doubles in size each time I make my way out to the farm. So lush and green, full of promise. Soon we will have fresh Silver Queen corn to bring home and shuck. Delicate sweet corn.

Glad June 15, 2016

Glad is in the heart

On their sturdy dark-green stalks

Gladiolas beam.

Art Prescription:  Visited a dear friend to talk about life as we know it. Beside her porch is a lush garden of tall gladiolas. Glad to have good friends!!

Pyramids June 2, 2016

Architectural

Constructed of sun-baked bricks

Dwelling place for gods.

Art Prescription:  With this prompt, pyramids, I can only think of how ancient civilization really is. Humbling…
