August Farm August 26, 2018

Corn is eight feet tall

Field grass is above my knees

Big green grasshoppers.

Art Prescription: We started off on a trail ride only to find that the field was so grown up we couldn’t see our way forward.

Beautiful and not where you want to be on horseback.

Home to try and sketch backyard birds, boy is it hard to draw something moving.

All in all a wonderful day.

Art Prescription: Went sketching today with my favorite field partners! And boy are they good at finding stuff, like a Saddleback Caterpillar.

Watercolor pencil with a water brush (favorite new tool, you must try it) and pen and ink.

Art Prescription: Lovely day, hiked Mason Farm this morning. Quiet, except for the cicadas and mosquitos!!

Home to sit on our front porch.

Watercolor pencil sketch then brushed with a water-brush! Fun!
