Like the Eagle’s song
I’m pushing it to limits
With color and marks.
Art Prescription: Thinking last nights painting was a bit dull, I went back into it with color, graphite, and colored pencil. Could be just emotion…
Finn Grazing May 5, 2017
Finn grazing, spring grass
So ripe and green, expansive
Buries his nose, bliss.
Art Prescription: I love seeing the horses out in the pasture where they are wild and free.

Confused? May 4, 2017
Seasons come and go
She forgets where her keys are
And paints a fall scene.
Art Prescription: Life moves so fast, it all blends into one.
Fall collage, based on a real collage of elements last fall. Just felt like it.
Lotus II May 3, 2017
Lotus, sun symbol
Marks the beginning and end
Purification.
Art Prescription: Perhaps our forebears were very smart. Do we pay attention to when we need to cleanse? End something, and begin anew?
Watercolor, colored pencil, pen and ink:
Perspective May 2, 2017
It wasn’t sunlight
That so captured the morning
Sudden immense shade.
Art Prescription: Sometimes you get caught between light and shade.

Pastel Play May 1, 2017
Under the barn’s shade
With a view of the horses
I play with pastels.
Art Prescription: Try something new.
Sunday Journal April 30, 2017
Each being has strengths
And each being has weakness
Focus on your strengths!
Bamboo Collage April 29, 2017
Like a summer day
Temperatures soared, ninety
Cool in bamboo shade.
Art Prescription: I bought some art from a fellow artist last weekend, and she put my purchase in a bag with cool Asian design. Here I’ve up cycled the bag into a collage with pen and ink.
Photo Friday April 28, 2017
Like turtle, you also have shields that protect you from hurt, envy, jealousy, and the unconsciousness of others. From my animal medicine book. Spot on as usual.
Recycled Paint April 27, 2017
All along the edge
Milkweed beckons the monarchs
To lay fragile eggs.
Art Prescription: The forge to Mason Farm swollen with recent rain was not safe to pass. So my friend and I walked the side path. Saw a hummingbird, lots of songbirds, and one snake who really took his time crossing the path. Maybe a copperhead. See you fella. Go on about your way.
Started this art journal page with smears of leftover paint. Added collage and stamps.
