Raining cats and dogs
Windshield wipers on high mode
No umbrella, wet!!
Art Prescription: I did not heed the weather forecast, so came home looking like a wet rat! And a cold rain too. Warm shower, p.j.’s, and a quick pen and ink.

A White Horse May 14, 2014
Wash day, clean white horse
Rolls in the dirt to dry off
Mud, natures sunscreen.
Art Prescription: I rode Lacey today, a new mare at Blue Skies. Hot day for May, so after our ride we got to spray them off. They really liked that!! And just like a clean dog, Lacey trotted into the grassy meadow and proceeded to roll. Pretty cute!! Pen and ink and watercolor 5 x 7.
Girl Power May 13, 2014
Streak of blue feathers
Mama blue-bird dive-bombs jay
She’s a girl with eggs!
Art Prescription: There is no getting past a woman sitting on nest eggs. Not you, not you, and not your brother! Bring it! Girl Power!!
Diva May 12, 2014
Soft, scented, clean sheets
New purple summer night-gown
Simple-life diva.
Art Prescription: It doesn’t take much for me to feel like a princess. A day in the sun, pulling weeds optimal, time in my studio, a cat purr, long walks with my hubby. Blessed!
Be Real May 11, 2014
Sunday endorphins
Found in the pool, lap by lap
Hallmark holiday.
Art Prescription: What if everyday was Mother’s Day, Nurse’s Day, Father’s Day? How about we treat everyday as a holiday to celebrate life and those we love? Why wait until it’s pushed upon us and most people think everyone else is celebrating the perfect “day.” My wish!!! Be real…be you…
Wine Tasting May 10, 2014
Volatilize, swirl
Look, smell, and sip, take a bite
Wine and food pairing.
Art Prescription: The use of all senses…a wine tasting.
Find Your Place In the Sun May 9, 2014
Nice spot in the sun
To sit a while, take a nap
We can learn from cats.
Art Prescription: So I’m still working with “Blackie,” a stray cat. My neighbor feeds him, and I’m trying to build his trust. To start he wouldn’t let me get within 20 feet of him, and he would run. Today I sat about 3 feet away cooing to him. He did show me his belly while sitting in the sun, a sign of comfort.
Clematis May 8, 2014
Climbing Clematis
Weaves fragile tendrils around
Sending blooms to top!
Art Prescription: There is something mesmerizing about vines. How they know to wrap and weave their way to get to where they are going. Wish my path was so clear…
New Horses May 7, 2014
Two new mares arrive
The herd greets them politely
Boys settle some turf!!
Art Prescription: Fascinating day at the farm. Two new mares are coming to visit Blue Skies of Mapleview. So some mixing up of the paddocks was involved. The home-horses were all a bit like, what? new? where is she going? And the two new mares were like, this place has exquisite hay, and we like all the attention, which we will ignore because, well we are new. The boys suffered a bit…Girl Power!!!
Lacy, watercolor pencil quick sketch with graphite.

A vase of posies
Plucked fresh from the spring garden
Just right for a sketch.
Art Prescription: A cutting garden is a wonderful way to pamper yourself with fresh flowers!
