I went to a butterfly workshop today and came home with two new pets, caterpillars!

Art journal:

Freshly cut roses

Delicate, silky petals

A romantic vase.

Art Prescription: I may paint these, but for now just enjoying their pure loveliness!

Wild and free they roam

Soaking in sunshine and rain

The all knowing horse.

Art Prescription: Feel we need some ancient wisdom.

Watercolor sketch:

Metamorphosis

A once in a life time chance

For a new story.

Art Prescription: Thank you for all your well wishes regarding my dear friend. Today I took her out to see her beloved horses!

I finished my Monarch butterfly piece and know for certain she will fly high now!

Watercolor:

I’m part of a great barn family. Today I needed to pitch in and help with lessons.

The horses had my back!

Blue-gray clouds gather

Air hangs heavy with moisture

A bead of sweat rolls.

Art Prescription: Thank God we don’t have to wear corsets!! no wonder hysteria was prevalent. Women couldn’t breathe.

A full studio

Children’s laughter fills the space

I learn by teaching.

Art Prescription: monarch butterfly party in my studio!

My work in progress:

Life is mine, she thinks

Is mine because of good luck

I reached out, took it.

Art Prescription: Edible Flowers, good fortune….be grateful for all you have.

Watercolor sketch:

Deep woods, thick with growth

Birds call out from fresh tree tops

Gleaning for insects.

Art Prescription: Sam and I walked our favorite place, Mason Farm. Mid-morning is not as active, but we saw some great birds. I sketched along the way.
