Color salts wood line
Tender young leaves shoot outward
Willows weeping green.
Art Prescription: A picture a day would capture the steady push of spring via leaves. Winter tree shapes now have a halo of green surrounding them. Renewal!

Owl April 6, 2014
Silent on a branch
Big brown eyes full of wisdom
Fine feathered owl.

Blue barn on the hill

Cantering on a horse April 2, 2104
The thrill of the ride
A sweet gentle rocking horse
Canter in the ring.
Art Prescription: After practicing my posting trot on my bike, no less, I got to put homework into action today on Pinto Bean. Still a little rough around the edges, but I’m making progress. We ended our session with a canter and Pinto proved to have a sweet and gentle pace.
Before we ride it’s fun and interesting to look at herd behavior. Never a dull moment, here is Iloa dunking her whole head into the water. Horse-play. Charlie is looking at her with curiousity. “What on earth are you doing?”
Bees are Back April 1, 2014
Hey la bees are back
Flit, fly, buzz, zip, dart, and zoom
Wings glitter in sun.
Art Prescription: They come after blooms!!
Bird Bar March 29, 2014
The bar is open

Purple Haze March 28, 2014
Good morning purple
Early light, lavender haze
Luminous new day.
Art Prescription: I’m rarely excited about setting my alarm clock for before the sun is up. But duty calls and oh the sunrise was glorious!!
Self Awareness March 27, 2014
Mirage, illusion
Who is there in the mirror?
Is that you? Myself?
Art Prescription: Do you ever time travel? Art journal…it’s a messy one…just where I am.
