Final leaves let go

Bare winter branches, grey sky

The year, rolling on.

Art Prescription: I do love the winter landscape. So peaceful.

I’m sure you feel like I do though, that time is rolling on ahead of us!

Taking time to make art is so good for you! It lowers your Blood pressure and heart rate, and releases good brain chemicals!

Make time in the new year for art.

Mini-art journals:

A blank calendar

A few days with open space

Time to rest, reflect.

Art Prescription: After a busy fall with shows and workshops, finally my calendar looks open. Breathe…

Here’s the progress on my Bear:

Silver sparkly frost

Winter is on the edge now

Hibernation time.

Art Prescription: started this watercolor sketch. I’ll add details tomorrow once dry.

A place I belong

Where my heart does a slow dance

With nature’s music.

News that rocks your world

When you are half way cross states

How is this to be?????

Art Prescription: anticipatory grieving this news and it’s still a tale spine.

New horse came to farm

Frolicking and fun bucking

They meet their new friend.

Art Prescription: It’s always fascinating to watch a new horse come to farm. The herd behavior resorts back to how they manage in the wild.

I made one more art journal for my Open Studio this weekend!

Birds flock at feeder

Announcing cold winter wind

Trees strip down to bare.

Art Prescription: Hello Hawk Medicine.

Low gray clouds hover

Hawks sit on branches hunting

Steadily rain falls.

Art Prescription: And still the Horses must be fed and hayed. They are so appreciative.

I started this with pen and ink and watercolor.

Horses holiday

Ride, gift, treat, and hot cider

Raising camp money

Art Prescription: Today was Holiday with the Horses, our annual fundraiser for kids who can’t afford camp.

The horses were so patient having bows and bells put in their manes and tails.
