Brilliant forest

Glowing with lucid spring light

Incandescent trees.

Art Prescription:  Here in North Carolina, the dogwood tree is in full bloom. Brilliant white blooms against an early spring forest. Lucid!

Upcoming Workshop

Hello dear friends,

I’m very excited to announce this upcoming workshop at Galleywinter Farm in Afton Virginia. No art or horse experience required. Just your imagination and time for yourself.

I wanted to share this with you so you can save the date if you are interested.

Soothing Sounds March 26, 2017

When a clip-clop-clip

A knicker, and hay chomping

Soothe your heart and soul.

Art Prescription:  Doing ground-work today with Finn I was reminded how much I love the sound of his hooves taking step after step. He knickers at me as I approach his paddock, surely food related, but I like to believe it’s because he looks forward to our time together as much as I do.

Nest March 25, 2017

Loads of rich green moss

And soft downy rabbit fur

A chickadee nest.

Art Prescription:  It fascinates me that all birds build different nests. Some use twigs and vines, some nest in tree cavities, others build with leaves, moss, fur, and I’ve even seen a snake skin. What a lot of work these winged friends put into their offspring.

Sumi-ink with my chop that says “hope”

Nestled in the leaves

One stem at a time, then bloom

Fiddleheads salute.

Art Prescription:  With my sketchbook and a box of colored pencils, I headed off to the North Carolina Botanical Garden in search of the ephemeral wildflowers.
