Blue Tractor September 21, 2014
Freshly mowed meadow
Scent of dried grass, blue birds dip
Catch insects mid-flight.
Art Prescription: Sunday hike at Merritt’s Pasture. The field was freshly mowed, except they left islands of milk-weed for the monarch butterflies. Saw cardinals, titmice, chickadees, blue-birds, and a juvenile hawk. Watercolor sketch with pen and ink.

Nothing Particular September 14, 2014
Some days a blank page
Stares at me, my muse protests
Meanwhile I collage.
Art Prescription: While hiking our favorite place, Mason Farm, NC, we ran into another couple about half-way around the loop. They had just seen two bear cubs running off into the forest!! Then on the trail we saw bear scat. Holy nature walk! We only did one loop today. Back at the studio I tapped into nothing particular. Trying to plan holiday workshops…
