Somewhere in Paris
There is a perfect shop where
I can buy flowers.
Art Prescription: Hi folks, this is a work in progress large acrylic. Different for me and I’m really enjoying the process!
Hello Nicker August 17, 2016
As soon as he heard
My voice and saw me walking
At fence and nickers.
Art Prescription: It’s so sweet and rewarding when my horse Finn meets me at the gate nickering. He is saying hello and glad to see me!
A nicker is commonly described as a companionable greeting or solicitous type of vocalization. This makes intuitive sense both because of its nature as a quiet sound, but also in the close-contact social situations in which it is typically heard: Between two friendly herdmates, between a mare and her foal, and between a stallion and a mare.
I’m so honored!

Observation August 16, 2016
Perfect design, flight
The ability to soar
Over great expanse.
Art Prescription: Ever look up at a bird soaring on wind currents and wonder what that would be like? Just drifting along at a pace designed by nature. The here and now…

On the Fence August 15, 2016
Sitting on the fence
Pondering which way to go
All paths have value.
Art Prescription: Life is full of decisions isn’t it?

Simple August 14, 2016
Roses in the bud
Fill a mason jar with joy
A simple pleasure.
Art Prescription: When it comes right down to pleasure, simple is perfect! Not that “perfect” matters at all when it comes to the heart. More that you experience a moment or two of joy…this is living.

Still Air August 13, 2016
Dragonfly sits still
Air heavy, humid, summer,
Crows gather, pine tops.
Art Prescription: Went for a ride on Tobacco Road Trails. Yep, it’s hoT!

Dog Days August 12, 2016
Energy, chaos
Collide, lack of direction
Listen to your heart.
Art Prescription: Seems a lot of people have trouble mid-season. It’s not the start or the end of anything, it’s just in the middle, and for those of us in the south, hot! What if each day was the start of something! Your life! What are you waiting for?

August Leaves August 11, 2016
Through the August leaves
Families of birds fly on
Successful season.
Art Prescription: Parents and their offspring are frequenting my feeder. Fledglings sit twittering, waiting for the parent to feed them. Parents shuffle in the seed, trying to teach their young to eat on their own. Successful parenting is huge.

Crayon Resist August 10, 2016
Synergy is the
Creation of a whole that’s
More than simple parts.
Art Prescription: Playing with Crayons as a resist…fun
Frustration August 9, 2016
When the cows come home
August turns to September
Who is keeping count?
Art Prescription: So I worked on a cow and calf painting for hours today…and it was just not happening! The muse out to lunch? So with abandon I painted a sunflower, and the colorful chaos suits my mood.
