Intention is strong
An emotion of pure will
An owl on the hunt.
Art Prescription: Our desires inform our life. If we pay attention to our wants, our needs will be fulfilled.

Bedtime Sketch August 23, 2016
Sketching in the bed
My pen trails off into sleep
Next day, add color.
Art Prescription: I did this pen and ink sketch last night in a sleepy state. Today I went back in and added colored pencil. Some folks read to sleep…I draw!

Warblers August 22, 2016
Subtle season shift
Leaves begin to brown and fall
Birds feed on thistle.

White Barns August 21, 2016
Steady in saddle
We meander along fields
Taking in country.

Doers and dreamers
Plan for a trip by the sea
Destination, peace.

Summer Color August 19, 2016
Oh summer…don’t go
Leave us pretty butterflies
And please, the flowers.
Art Prescription: As much as I want the weather to cool down, I realize how much summer offers each day. My garden is a-buzz with bees, and 3-4 different butterfly species. Hummingbirds drop in for some nectar as well.
I went to sketch at the North Carolina Botanical Garden today to prepare a piece for my adult coloring class offered August 27, 2 – 4.
Now I get to color!!
Fleur August 18, 2016
Somewhere in Paris
There is a perfect shop where
I can buy flowers.
Art Prescription: Hi folks, this is a work in progress large acrylic. Different for me and I’m really enjoying the process!
Hello Nicker August 17, 2016
As soon as he heard
My voice and saw me walking
At fence and nickers.
Art Prescription: It’s so sweet and rewarding when my horse Finn meets me at the gate nickering. He is saying hello and glad to see me!
A nicker is commonly described as a companionable greeting or solicitous type of vocalization. This makes intuitive sense both because of its nature as a quiet sound, but also in the close-contact social situations in which it is typically heard: Between two friendly herdmates, between a mare and her foal, and between a stallion and a mare.
I’m so honored!

Observation August 16, 2016
Perfect design, flight
The ability to soar
Over great expanse.
Art Prescription: Ever look up at a bird soaring on wind currents and wonder what that would be like? Just drifting along at a pace designed by nature. The here and now…
