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.

Nature Journal, pen and ink sketches:

Washing winter coat

The field turns out a new crop

The farm tractor smiles.

Art Prescription: how do you notice the seasons?

Hanging out in space

They depend on each other

For friendship, support.

Art Prescription: We are all hanging in space.

Trying to decide if I want to add a background to this.

Into healing light

The things with feathers and wings

Carry us with grace.

Art Prescription: For my friends near and far, there is healing to report. Thank you for your kind words and support, my dear friend is better.

Uninterrupted

Full studio afternoon

Just me and my paint.

Art Prescription: Love it when I can paint with my studio door wide open. Just me and the birds, and squirrels.

Pink and Red Story:

Rose colored glasses

Rain drops glisten on petals

Of pink peonies.

Art Prescription: How strong is our will? Can we will ourselves healthy? Practice gratitude? Look for pink peonies to make our day?

Watercolor with pen and ink:

Just a little blue

Inspired by a napkin

A soothing color.

Art Prescription: art journal:

Birds glean for insects

Breeze stands still, then leaves rustle

Lilac scents the air.

Art Prescription: Alone in the Woods…

Along Morgan Creek

Under deep spring foliage

A heron fishes.

Art Prescription: Took a lovely walk on the North Carolina Botanical Garden trails this afternoon. The forest canopy is thick now, hard to find singing birds. And with this warm weather the snakes are out. Saw three black beauties. Okay so we can do without the surprise factor, but sleek just the same.

Down at the creek a blue heron strutted along the shallow water.
