Bull Frogs June 29, 2014

The pond at daybreak

Bull frogs play Marco Polo

Loudest croaker wins.

Art Prescription: Six a.m. dog walking for my neighbors has benefits. It’s nice and cool, the birds are waking up with song, and there’s a game going on at the pond. Here is Duffy after a hot late day walk.

Tools of the Trade June 23, 2014

An artist’s tool box

Brushes, palette knives, scissors

A finger painting!

Art Prescription:  Art Prescription group today in my studio. Our project was to start a painting, and then paint over it, and over it again. The process of letting go what was there before. And then finally to cut that painting up into pieces and see what emerges…stories, tales.

After a Ride June 21, 2014

After morning ride

She gets a spray, cool water

Returns to the hay.

Art Prescription:  Rode Miss Lacey this morning. Went early to beat the heat. I love spraying her down with cool water, washing the saddle-marked sweat from her white body. She enjoys it too! I return her to the paddock where fresh hay awaits. A grazing horse…Zen.

New Tricks June 20, 2014

A steep learning curve

Teach an old dog new brand new tricks

Ghost in the machine.

Art Prescription:  I spent 3 hours today at the Apple store for a class. Then my computer misbehaved and I ended up needing the “Genius Bar.” Sensory overload!!!. I’m pooped. And don’t have any new art today, because I sired my time out to technology. Sad…really.
