Dry brittle beauty

Contains dignity in form

Remains of summer.

Art Prescription:  Whew!! busy day. Up before the sun, went to feed/love on neighbor’s cat, fed my three, off to work, three surgeries, off to farm to do evening chores, 4 1/4 bales of hay and 4 clean troughs later, back home to feed/love neighbor’s kitty and my three, shower…not much time for art, except a quick sketch. Happy to have horses and cats in my life!!

Index card with pen and ink:

A raincoat and boots

Are all two sisters need for

Street puddle jumping.

Art Prescription:  She will grow into these boots…give her a minute…they grow up so fast.

Index card sketch with pen and ink and colored pencil:

A chorus of frogs
Water sounds, distant voices
The wonders of rain.

Sit, listen, and wait

Be where you are, still, alone

The music will come.

Art Prescription:  Most religions refer to stillness in the form of prayer or meditation. Deeply spiritual beings seem to truly practice this…the most of us are blundering our way towards the music. Listening!! And I did spend some wonderful moments on my horse’s bare back today. Connection!

Index card with colored pencil:

All the world’s a stage

Theater for creation

The script? made with time.

Art Prescription:  Who are you?

Index card with pen and ink:

Bits of green and brown

Pop up from under the snow

Spring’s reassurance.

Art Prescription:  Oh yes we need a little sunshine…need a little horse time…need a little spring-time…You know the tune…

Watercolor and pen and ink:

Crocus in a pot

Indoor blooms while gardens rest

Color in kitchen.
