Umbrellas March 23, 2014
Rain, cold, move in now
Scurry, shoulders hunched over
Umbrellas salute.
Art Prescription: One more bout of Old Man Winter…
Saturday Morning March 22, 2014
Stretch, yawn, and repeat
Wake up slow, no alarm clock
Saturday morning.
Art Prescription: While for the most part I like being up early, makes the day longer, it is on occasion totally blissful to sleep-in.
Spring Sketchbook March 21, 2014
Sweet…the Friday air
Essence of white pear blossom
Neighborhood cat sleeps.
Art Prescription: Set out to sketch wildflowers, but found the neighborhood cat asleep on my deck.
Spring March 20, 2014
She makes grand entrance
The star of the show appears
Curtains open, spring!!
Art Prescription: So happy to see the sun coming up this morning. I can see why after days with no sun, ancient civilizations began to worry. A large star indeed!
Horseback March 19, 2014
View from the saddle
Velvet attentive ears, and
Exhilaration!
Art Prescription: I rode Doc today at Women’s Intuitive Riding at Blue Skies http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us. Looking down at his beautiful profile and soft ears, I couldn’t help but think of what a spectacular view this is!
Quiet Woods March 18, 2014
My steps and tree frogs
Miniature waterfalls
Only sounds in woods.
Art Prescription: It is too quiet in the woods for a March day. After another wintry weather day, the creek is full and there is a steady drip-drop off the trees. Wet, cold, misty…why would anyone be out bird-watching!! I scan the trees for owls!! Saw a hawk and a cute little Kinglet.
March Lion March 17, 2014
March lion spits ice
Daffodils hang their heads low
With disappointment.
Art Prescription: Seems March’s lion is having a final roar!! Snow and sleet. And still I walk and look at what nature has to offer. Nodding daffodils…
Garden March 15, 2014
Pansy bed, new thyme
Dig, clip, prune, plant, and water
Spring garden arrives!
Art Prescription: Planting for spring sketching!! A whole new bed of pansies and violas!! Also added rosemary and thyme for tasty spring cooking. Markers on a 3 x 5 index card.
Evening Grosbeak March 1, 2014
Exclamation mark!
A black and white bird, rose-breast
Evening Grosbeak.
Art Prescription: If you read my blog, you’ve seen a couple of renditions of this Evening Grosbeak. I learned from my previous paintings, and am pleased with this outcome.
