Fall meditation
Morning walk, collection, gifts
From nature’s bearings.
Art Prescription: Who doesn’t love a collection? Eyes to the ground on my morning walk, I found much to collect and arrange.

Tender Moment September 28, 2016
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…

Love Notes September 27, 2016
All about romance
You leave a hidden love note
For them to find love.
Art Prescription: After 25 years of marriage I still love a hand-written note from my husband! Even if its “put the clothes in the dryer.” In this day of digital communications a piece of paper with hand-writing speaks to our hearts. We see the individual and their hand, different for every person in the world, like fingerprints.

Seagull September 25, 2016
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.

Nova Scotia September 24, 2016
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.

Freshly Cut September 21, 2016
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.

Soothing Graphite September 20, 2016
Blossom gone to seed
Beautiful structure remains
Season at it’s end.
Art Prescription: After several busy days working on landscape commissions, I felt the need to do something simple and soothing. My coneflowers have gone to seed and I find them so beautiful. Two simple tools, a pen and pencil. Peaceful.

No Gas September 19, 2016
At the fifth station
I waited in line for gas
We take for granted.
Art Prescription: Lots of people are going to wake up tomorrow and realize something they take for granted, filling up their gas tank, may not be available to them. I find this a startling event and one that makes me realize how vulnerable we all are.

Seems Like September 15, 2016
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”
Tropical Perch September 1, 2016
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.
