Be Real May 11, 2014

Sunday endorphins

Found in the pool, lap by lap

Hallmark holiday.

Art Prescription:  What if everyday was Mother’s Day, Nurse’s Day, Father’s Day?  How about we treat everyday as a holiday to celebrate life and those we love? Why wait until it’s pushed upon us and most people think everyone else is celebrating the perfect “day.” My wish!!! Be real…be you…

Clematis May 8, 2014

Climbing Clematis

Weaves fragile tendrils around

Sending blooms to top!

Art Prescription:  There is something mesmerizing about vines. How they know to wrap and weave their way to get to where they are going. Wish my path was so clear…

New Horses May 7, 2014

Two new mares arrive

The herd greets them politely

Boys settle some turf!!

Art Prescription:  Fascinating day at the farm. Two new mares are coming to visit Blue Skies of Mapleview. So some mixing up of the paddocks was involved. The home-horses were all a bit like, what? new? where is she going? And the two new mares were like, this place has exquisite hay, and we like all the attention, which we will ignore because, well we are new. The boys suffered a bit…Girl Power!!!

Wild Honeysuckle May 4, 2014

Wild honeysuckle

Coral-red spirals on trees

Hummingbird’s delight.

Art Prescription:  Seeing some new birds at Mason Farm. A black hummingbird has been in the same tree now for a week. Nest? Lots of wildflowers…swoon. Colored pencil sketch on a 3 x 5 index card.

Pet Love May 1, 2014

Bare feet slinky fur

Cat swirls around my ankles

Claims territory.

Art Prescription:  I’m pet sitting. So I go over to visit with my coffee, and much to my own cat’s chagrin, I come home smelling of “mine.” My neighbor’s cat, who is cute as pie, is more interested in marking her ownership than eating. Interesting what one will do for love and acceptance.
