Holiday art show

I pack up my studio

The Old Cotton Gin.

Art Prescription: headed to the Old Cotton Gin Saturday for a holiday art show.

Gift bags!!!!!

The will to live on

The spirit that guides our days

Really, that’s enough.

Art Prescription: I’m just finishing the final coat on this Remembering Tree for the North Carolina Burn Center.

This patient touched the hearts of many who cared for him.

Stethoscope, pitch-fork

Sterile, to horsey mud, hay

Two shifts in one day!

Art Prescription: Awake before the sun, I started my day at my nursing job.

Home to rest a minute I headed out to the farm to assist with horse lessons.

What a full day! So dark now for after-school lessons. Finn was a super good boy! Proud mama.

What brings life meaning?

Is it how you spend your time

Or relationships?

Art Prescription: I framed this and really like it!! My time and relationships are both my joy!!

Bucking and snorting

Ten horses wait for their grain

Morning at the farm.

Art Prescription: and hay!! They are so appreciative!

This is a work in progress of one of my horse buddies.

Cold wind spreads fall leaves

Some airborne twirl in the sky

And land on wet earth

Art Prescription: My studio is particularly cozy this time of year. Bright lights, heat, and joyful clutter.

I’m playing with some mini-collages on canvas with drawn or painted eggs and feathers.

Sam and I are headed to The Old Cotton Gin for an art show next weekend!

I’m working on a small painting of a horse for a holiday card.

Needs some tweaking, but ready to go to print!!

Trust, a solid thing

No holes in true honesty

Put my faith in you.

Art Prescription: Trust and faith are big issues of our times.

Art Journal:

Splendid rainy day

Fall trees glow under grey clouds

Air is crisp and clean

Art Prescription: I decided to add seed pods to my paint swatches. It felt like a seasonal thing to do.

Shades of blue and gray

Neutral tones, dark browns and blacks

Winter’s soft palette.

Art Prescription: I’ve got ideas for this, and for now just brush strokes!
