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”
Favorite Things March 24, 2017
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.

Delicate March 23, 2017
Tremble in their frame
Delicate ephemerals
Up from frozen ground.
Art Prescription: About now the banks of creeks are full of blooming Trout Lilies. I adore their delicate nodding heads.

Big Picture March 22, 2017
Humble pie is served
I’ll take a submissive slice
And assume it’s best.
Art Prescription: Sometimes we learn our best life lessons by taking a step back, being humble, and looking at the big picture.

March Journal Page March 21, 2017
Bullfrogs croak, fish swirl
Great blue heron struts the shore
Water reflects sky.
Art Prescription: I spent my afternoon gathering supplies for art journaling kits. I love my art journal…a place to play with mixed media, a place to experience art versus “making” art. Creativity is so important to a balanced life. I’ve listed a few of my kits in my Etsy shop. Take a look and be inspired! I’d love to see what you do!
Here is my journal for today. I collaged vintage papers all over page. Then I sketched some pansies from my garden onto the page and colored them with a light wash of watercolor.
Home Cooking March 19, 2017
A busy kitchen
Spells love, and a fresh menu
Real homemade goodness.
Art Prescription: It’s fun to have time on the weekend to cook together. Kitchen time chopping fresh produce…and then the reward, yum.
