Cool, crisp air, hits cheeks
Sun sinks, the cold settles in
I look for my gloves.
Art Prescription: Farrier day at farm. Bright warm December sun.
As the sun went down the temperature dropped 20 degrees!

Final Portrait
Hi y’all,
Here’s my final portrait of Flint. He is a surprise Christmas gift. I hope I did the owner proud.
Boot Sucking Mud
Frozen in place, sunk
Horse stands still, I slide sideways
In boot sucking mud!
Art Prescription: So while I was horsing around I took a dip in the mud. I just have to laugh and carry on.
The horses were grateful for dry hay into their run-in sheds.
Feeling the holiday spirit I did a little mixed media painting:
Sketches on the Bus
Lots of fur jackets
File onto bus where it’s warm
Ride to and from work.
Art Prescription: I take the bus up to the UNC Hospitals campus for work. I’m helping out while they are short. Just one day a week…
Here are a couple of pen and ink sketches I did going and coming home. Drawing on a moving vehicle is not perfect.
Finn in Snow
Spent my afternoon giving the horses extra hay for this cold weather. Finn was glad to see me. Sweetest boy ever!
Winter Collage
I love this black and white!
Cardinal Visit
A flicker of red
Lands on feeder with presence
Heaven’s visitor.
Art Prescription: I got an Etsy order for a set of Cardinals. I’m sold out except for eight cards. I asked the buyer if I could send two other designs to complete the set.
He said they are for his wife and their son died nine years ago. Each time she sees a cardinal, she feels he is visiting.
I painted two original cards just for her.
I’m honored.
Snow
White, soft, cold, winter
Quiet, crunchy, cozy, home
Warm house, bare branches.
Art Prescription: just so iconic, a snow day!

White Poinsettia
Christmas in a pot
Classic is red and green and
White poinsettia.
Art Prescription: Matilda, my golden cat I pet sit, offered me a fresh poinsettia. I chose white for a change.
Pen and ink sketch with watercolor:
Your Ship
If your ship doesn’t
Come in, swim out to meet it.
