Call on me brother

When you need a friend, we all

Someone to lean on.

Art Prescription: fill in the words…

In search of pure hope

She found a rainbow bouquet

And all will be well.

Art Prescription: And all that is, is well.

Watercolor:

Brave Girl you must fight

I need you! The world needs you!

The horses need you!

Art Prescription: my very best friend is not well. I need her to know how very much she is loved and needed…sending this into the universe.

Old fashion lilac

Delicate pale purple blooms

Scents the whole backyard.

Art Prescription: What a majestic day to be outside! My garden is filling in, so I spent some time out with my nature Journal.

I sketched with colored pencil:

And then I brushed over my drawings hoping I layered the right colors to blend on the page:

Each year he returns

And perches in the tree-top

Zips off for nectar.

Art Prescription: For a couple of years now we have looked for the return of a hummingbird in a specific tree-top. Today there he was!

Art journal, my chop says “hope”

A birdy field trip

To Bynum Bridge in N.C.

Northern Parula.

Art Prescription: Days I live for! Spring in North Carolina which means wildflowers and migrating birds!

We drove out to a small town nearby, Bynum, where an old bridge is now just for pedestrians and bikers.

Here among the tree tops over the Haw River we saw a plethora of spring warblers.

A Hooded Warbler was a hightlight.

The Northern Parula stole the show.

Watercolor with pen and ink:

Rain pours hard, tin roof

Horses stand still, heads lowered

Class…equine massage.

Art Prescription: A morning thunder-shower turned our ride into a class on equine massage. How relaxing to get a massage while rain hits a tin roof? Lucky horses.

Still painting hummers. Repeating a painting is good practice.

By the green bamboo

After rain, vetiver scent

A cardinal sings.

Art Prescription: I went back into yesterday’s underpainting and here is what happened.

Unfinished business

A start, but not a finish

Revisit your dream.

Art Prescription: Are you pursuing your dream?

Very rough unfinished sketch: stay tuned for completion!
