Trees, symbols of life
Change gracefully through seasons
Steady giant friends.

Mini Treats September 12, 2014
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
A Day Off September 11, 2014
Place where time stands still
Gentle wind rolls across field
Horses graze on grass.
Art Prescription: Took my sketchbook and big old sun hat out to Blue Skies today. Took a chair and sat in the paddock, being part of the herd. So hot. They were fine to just let me be there. We know you and you are okay to hang-out with us. They stood lazy, swishing their tails against the flies, sun on their strong backs.

Perspective lesson
Things look different with time
With a brand new lens.

Bear Medicine September 8, 2014
Soft fur, round brown eyes
Hibernates in the winter
Fiercely protective.

Tending the Thoughts September 7, 2014
Negative thoughts, weeds
Can wrap, wind around your heart
Suffocating growth.

Zen Garden September 6, 2014
Japanese garden
Cool stones, ponder in the shade
Pebbles like water.
