Pollinators work
To taxi pollen from one
Flower to the next.
Art Prescription: The majority of all flowering plants rely on pollinators, a group of animals that includes over 200,000 species, including bees, birds, and buttrerflies.
Index card with colored pencil and pen and ink:
Owlets peek out from
Holes in trees, big round wide eyes
They practice the hunt.
Art Prescription: From the start it seems nature’s babies have their “ness” about them. Their owl “ness,” their horse “ness,” their dog “ness.”
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
A lost art, writing?
Posting a card or letter
By horse-back or air.
Art Prescription: Who doesn’t love to get a hand-written note in the mail? Years from now will this be a lost art?
Index cards with collage and colored pencil:
Watching us watch them
The horses assess auras
A rainbow I’m sure.
Art Prescription: Horses fascinate me. Their body language, the shift of an ear.
Watercolor 8 1/2 x 11
Side by side they share
A flake of freshly baled hay
Sunday at the farm.
Art Prescription: Beautiful morning to be out feeding the herd. It fills my senses. Back to studio to work with Sumi-ink.
Warm May breeze stirs leaves
Tree frogs trill, dragonflies dart
Late afternoon gifts.
Art Prescription: Late day walk at Mason Farm. No day is alike. Always pleases me so…
Index card with colored pencil:
Itty-bit bunny
Sits still in tall grass late spring
You cannot see me.
Art Prescription: Seems my backyard is full of “off-spring.” To those of you who follow me…the little robin from yesterday earned his flying wings!
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
My heart forever
It’s the place, the smell, it’s home
And there’s no other.
Art Prescription: Knowing where you belong is a gift to the soul.
A field of white blooms
Penstemon digitalis
Blue Indigos sing.
Art Prescription: Mason Farm hike. Saw Scarlet Tanagers, Blue Indigo Buntings, Chickadees, Titmouse, Eastern Towhee, and heard a couple of Barred Owls hooting.
Index Card with colored pencil:
We drank Prosecco
At the barn, as we waited
For the horse trailer.
Art Prescription: A new horse arrived at the farm today. A beautiful “flea bitten” mare, which means she is white and dappled in grey. The hauler was late due to Memorial Day traffic, but this little beauty got off the trailer calm as could be. She ate grass while the geldings stood at attention in a cloud of excited dust.
