Final zinnias
Adorn the garden, leaves fall
A final farewell.
Art Prescription: I will miss cut flowers! In exchange we get cool, cozy, sweatshirt weather!

Focal Point September 11, 2017
What is important?
The focal point in your life?
Where you put your now.
Art Prescription: added to yesterday’s painting…
Trail-side September 10, 2017
Colorful fall leaves
Rest gracefully on the trail
Bright yellow asters!
Art Prescription: not even dry… may add pen and ink. Whew, I’m tired!!!
Asters September 9, 2017
Aster family
Takes center stage in the fall
Wildflowers galore.
Art Prescription: We hiked our usual haunt Mason Farm looking for migrating warblers. High in the canopy, they evaded us. We did admire the meadows full of wildflowers. Then I went to sketch at the North Carolina Botanical Garden.

September butterflies flit
A leaf or two falls.

Hurricane September 7, 2017
The Atlantic churns
America together
We love thy neighbor.
Art Prescription: Instead of the differences that have been in the news in the last months, lately I’ve seen Americans coming together to help one-another. People from all backgrounds pulling together, working as teams, spreading love.
This is the country I’m proud of.
Here in North Carolina we are in danger of being in the path of Irma. Be well my neighbor.

Parting September 6, 2017
Summer…you’re leaving?And taking the zinnias
Well, bring me a mum.

Self-Expression September 5, 2017
When I try to paint
Like someone other than me
I can do NO ART.
Art Prescription: Where does art come from? Sure in this digital, linked-in, social-media full world we are inundated by other’s work. And that’s not all bad. I do enjoy a nice Instagram surf with my morning coffee. But then I must go to my studio alone. I must face the blank paper.
It’s brave to go at it alone.
It’s brave to listen to and express your own voice.
Watercolor with pen and ink Vixen:
Seek September 1, 2017
Pursue happiness
One must also have the nerve
To feel open heart.
Art Prescription: Words from the wise…

Negative Space August 31, 2017
It’s what is not there
That fills the space, energy
The body knows truth.
Art Prescription: I believe we humans truly have no idea how much we communicate with our bodies. The more time I spend with horses, the more I’m trying to hone in to this medicine.
