Sitting in judgment
The five ladies brood and mope
The Peacock shows out.
Art Prescription: Funny what comes to mind while painting. And I’ll show you some proud peacock later…

Fall Posy October 25, 2015
Freshly cut flowers
Seems trees have changed overnight
Mason Jar posy.
Art Prescription: We are so lucky here in North Carolina that flowers continue to bloom on through October. We haven’t had that first cold frost yet. So I happily plucked a Mason Jar full of flowers and set about to watercolor them. Makes me about as happy as anything…

Cowgirl Wisdom October 24, 2015
She moved me, the wind
And I listened deeply to
What she had to say.
Art Prescription: I went to an animal communication workshop today at the farm where my horse Finn lives. It was intense and beautiful. I was overwhelmed with some emotions that came up, and I’m sure I will need to process my “conversations” more in the days to come. The horses were amazing and accepting and willing…wow!
Freedom October 23, 2015
Was does freedom mean?
Free from your expectations?
Time to soar alone.
Art Prescription: Everyone is different. Some people love company and constant interaction. Me…I need lots of quiet contemplative time alone.

Thundering force of power
Poetic movement.

Euphonious October 20, 2015
Sharp, bright, fall sunlight
Euphonious, crickets hum
Musical meadow.
Art Prescription: The sun is sharp these days. Once up, she burns off frosted windshields…moves on to de-thaw grass. And still the crickets hum softly in the meadow.

Puppy Play October 18, 2015
Tangle, black and white
Two puppies meet on sidewalk
From there it’s all play
Art Prescription: My moment of cute today was meeting two pups in my neighborhood. And boy were they excited to see each other. One black, one white, and a tangle of fur and leashes ensued. Both panting and going back for more.

Afternoon Shadows October 16, 2015
Afternoon shadows
Fall on black cows in pasture
Grain bin keeps the gate.
Art Prescription: As I do most Fridays after my two RN days, I headed out to see Finn at the farm. I can be completely exhausted, and my visit with the horses and fresh air renews my spirit. On the way home I take in the gently rolling pastures. Today a herd of black cows against the green pasture made me pull over. As I sat in a drive a white truck approached me. “You okay honey.” “Yes sir, I just pulled off to take a picture of your cows, may I.” “You sure can. Did ya see the babies? They are probably off down near the woods. They are purdy.” He backed up the drive. He had only come down to see if I needed help. Country. A far cry from the news of the day. Just people watching out for each other. I got my photo and headed home. Sigh…
