Together we stand
Divided we fall…seek peace
It’s the only way
Art Prescription: There are many things to divide us in life…religion, politics, egos… Let’s put all of that aside and realize that we are each just human beings under this camouflage. And we each have a gift to give this world we live in. Right here. Right now. Each and every day. Your gift.
Index card with collage:
A thick fog rolls in
Fall sun sets over tree-tops
Atmospheric eve.
Art Prescription: The weather creates beautiful drama…
Few of favorites
Collected on walks, nature’s
Gifts to observer.
Art Prescription: As I prepare my studio to open to the public, I’m reminded of the small things that I adore.
In November shade
Deer graze in waning sunset
Smell of fallen leaves
Art Prescription: On the way home from the farm I always see deer grazing in the corn fields. My Open Studio is this weekend, so index cards are my go to art for now.
Index card with colored pencil:
Fortune cookie pledge
A ground for expectation
Contains a promise.

Index card with collage and fortune cookie from take-out:
Rural hitchhiker
Relies on stranger goodness
For a ride to church.
Art Prescription: On the way home from feeding the horses, I came across a gentleman hitchhiking on highway 54. He was nicely dressed in a suit and my thought was that he was looking for a ride to church. Reminds me that despite of the news, there is complete and total goodness in people. If you pay more attention to the daily rituals of love and kindness that is the human species it will help you immensely.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Velvety black crow
On a dark branch, feathers sheen
Flaps wings, mate joins him.
Art Prescription: Cleaning my garage and studio in preparation for next Saturdays Open Studio.
Sumi-ink on an index card
You go home as you
I go as my peaceful me
Karma, a real thing.
Art Prescription: Do you take on other people’s anger, hostility, depression? Can you choose to do it differently? Can you go home as YOU? Chances are when you are dealing with angry people, it has nothing to do with you at all. It’s all about them and what they have to go home with, which is themselves. So, breathe, and walk away and go do something you love. Bring yourself back to the reality that you go home with you!
Index card with sumi-ink:
Open studio
Chance to share the world I see
Joys found with color.
Art Prescription: Cleaning my studio to open to the public November 21st. I always find bits and pieces of projects started and abandoned, things I love and say, “wow I should do more of this,” and things I go, “what was I thinking.” Creativity is a ride…steep hills, curves, and long stretches of pure bliss.
Index card with colored pencil:
Turn on Pasture Road
I leave the world behind now
To be with horses.
Art Prescription: Today was the last day of my Women’s Intuitive Riding class for the semester. We ended with a “rodeo style” barrel race and obstacle course. It was great fun, and shows me how much more I need to learn! Riding horses is a mental and physical challenge. I figure I’m on the steep end of the learning curve in all arenas. And that’s what makes it all the more special…it’s the journey of life.
