Rain pours hard, tin roof

Horses stand still, heads lowered

Class…equine massage.

Art Prescription: A morning thunder-shower turned our ride into a class on equine massage. How relaxing to get a massage while rain hits a tin roof? Lucky horses.

Still painting hummers. Repeating a painting is good practice.

By the green bamboo

After rain, vetiver scent

A cardinal sings.

Art Prescription: I went back into yesterday’s underpainting and here is what happened.

Unfinished business

A start, but not a finish

Revisit your dream.

Art Prescription: Are you pursuing your dream?

Very rough unfinished sketch: stay tuned for completion!

Smell of fresh tall grass

Sound of breeze in trees, birdsong

Not a cloud in sky.

Art Prescription: All we need to do is observe, and the wonderment of earth never ceases.

Do take care…she is worth it!!

I’ve painted and colored penciled my sketch from yesterday:

Like vines we cling to

Wrap our tendrils around all

That is good and true.

Art Prescription: Thoughts and lessons from the garden.

Pen and Ink in my journal. Maybe paint tomorrow.

White hot-houses full

Big acres of farm raised plants

Family business.

Art Prescription: We, my husband, brother and I, took a road trip east to see some plants at nurseries who have been in business for generations. They are authorized dealers in Encore Azaleas and Knockout Roses.

Riding east the landscape flattens and becomes more sandy. Lots of picturesque barns.

Each nursery had an armory of purple Martin gourds. All that watering produces lots of mosquitos.

Another bug loving bird is the peacock.

Resident bugger:

Out into the woods

Our trusty steeds carried us

The first spring trail ride.

Art Prescription: What fun to go out into the woods on horseback! That’s Finn’s head.

I worked the shadows on my hydrangeas.

Migration of birds

Black crackles pass through screeching

Hummers wait their turn.

Art Prescription: Working on this same theme for a commission. Final will be 24 x 48, so getting proportions right is a challenge.

Watercolor on paper:

Each flower placed with

An intention for wellness

Prayer with nature.

Art Prescription: Today’s art is a Nature mandala.
