As the chill sinks in.

Quiet Time November 20, 2016
Clear skies, hawks, blue birds
Early morning crisp, cold, air
I feed the horses.
Art Prescription: After a busy Open Studio, it was so peaceful to go out on a cold winter morning and be with the horses.
That’s a Wrap November 19, 2016
Open studio
And that’s a wrap for this year
Now back to my paint!!
Art Prescription: And thank you to all the artists who joined me today to share their creative efforts with our friends and neighbors. Although we enjoy showing our goods to the public, truth be known, most of us are happiest when we are in our studios in creation mode!!
Thank you for the flowers Farley!

Now July 16, 2016
A turn into woods
Four sure-footed trail horses
The here and the now.
Art Prescription: I’m a little behind due to preparing for my Open Studio this Saturday!!
And a trail ride was sublime.

Sketching with Matilda November 15, 2016
Warm and cozy eve
Care for a special kitty
Sketch with Matilda.
Art Prescription: Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while know Matilda, the cat I helped rescue from 9 degree winter nights. She then found her forever home with my neighbors, and lucky me I pet sit her often as they are world travelers! I love her like one of my own, and when her parents are gone I sketch and read at her house.
Beautiful November 12, 2016
Moonlight sonata
Can you hear the beautiful
As the day settles?
Art Prescription: Emotional week here in America. To soothe my soul I return to nature and her rhythms.

Across the fields of unknown
In search of better.

Naked November 8, 2016
Paper patient gown
I disrobe for a napkin?
You in your white coat.
Art Prescription: I know it’s election day…hard to top that, but I’ve been taking my clothes off all over town, lol! Don’t worry, just my wellness visits. I never noticed all that much before how cold and uncomfortable paper patient gowns were until I recently saw a new physician who uses the real thing. Soft gown and a real blanket, how comforting. When you already feel exposed and vulnerable, it’s amazing how small things matter. Kept my socks on!!!
