Burrow into safe
Nurture yourself, release fears
Leap like a rabbit!
Art Prescription: Is there a situation you need to resolve? Something that has you feeling frozen or a need to run? Perhaps a need to rest and re-evaluate?
Index card with colored pencil and pen and ink:
I’ll just try harder
For something I really want
Vision brought to earth.
Art Prescription: Yep!
Nature’s works of art
Design driven by instinct
Essential life.
Art Prescription: As spring continues on her course, I’m completely in awe of how the natural world takes care of itself without missing a beat. I have two beautiful nests in my trees, one of Mourning Doves, and the other Robins. I so enjoy sneaking a peak at the females as they sit on their brood, as the males nervously bring food as an offering. Seems most bird species have the parenting thing down-pat. Each “person” knows their role and there is no arguing about who last took out the trash.

Who’s behind the mask
Is it your authentic self?
Or an impostor?
Art Prescription: In a search for everything real…what can you touch, feel, see, smell, hear, each and every day of your one precious life?
Mask with acrylics:
Different seating
You on a plane, me saddle
My ride takes me home.
Art Prescription: There’s no place like home. What a beautiful day to take my boy Finn out on the trail. He takes such good care of me…sound, soft, reliable.
Two weeks into May
Heavy rain, creek side dense green
Frogs moan with pleasure.
Art Prescription: Tadpoles turned to iddy-biddy frogs are hopping across the trail.

Lunch at the Umstead Hotel
Afternoon at farm.
Art Prescription: Freshly showered, makeup-check, and gussied up, I met two friends for lunch at the Umstead Hotel, an upscale hotel and spa close to home. I had the fried green tomato BLT and fried okra appetizer, yes we are in the south. From there I drove straight to the farm to meet the farrier, who was the beneficiary of my other half of BLT. He was thankful. I then swung by my art-groups art show for the 2nd Friday Art-walk. Wow! Proud of my group!

Blows off at canter
Rolls onto the sand in ring
“Fetch my hat Bama.”
Art Prescription: So I should have had my camera ready for this!! Visited a new barn today. When the trainer’s hat blew off, she called her dog to fetch it and bring it to her on horse-back. Adorable. I captured a quick sketch in my mind and here it is…
Index card sketch:
Through deep shaded woods
And grassy fields by the cows
Spun the breadths of blue!
Art Prescription: My horse under me connects me to the ground, the world, my life. So beautiful to see my dear friends on their horses ahead of me. All baggage left at the barn. Only joy rides along with us now. Blue Skies.
