The Pool is Open May 17, 2014

Fish aquarium

On the walls of summer pool

Splash!! Watermelon.

Art Prescription: Finished two murals today just in time for our neighborhood summer pool to open. New brightly colored towels and suits, kids splashing away, and pool-side watermelon. Yep, it’s summer.

A White Horse May 14, 2014

Wash day, clean white horse

Rolls in the dirt to dry off

Mud, natures sunscreen.

Art Prescription:  I rode Lacey today, a new mare at Blue Skies. Hot day for May, so after our ride we got to spray them off. They really liked that!! And just like a clean dog, Lacey trotted into the grassy meadow and proceeded to roll. Pretty cute!! Pen and ink and watercolor 5 x 7.

Diva May 12, 2014

Soft, scented, clean sheets

New purple summer night-gown

Simple-life diva.

Art Prescription:  It doesn’t take much for me to feel like a princess. A day in the sun, pulling weeds optimal, time in my studio, a cat purr, long walks with my hubby. Blessed!

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.

Deep Woods April 27, 2014

Smell of vetiver

Rich, earthy bog, sweet wetlands

Guppies, frogs, and snakes!

Art Prescription:  Snakes! Yikes, but some people love seeing them. They are nature’s creations too. As we head into warmer weather, the bog awakens, and the water is teaming with life. Remember when you looked at bog water under a microscope? Spirogyra…Be curious.

Tai Chi April 25, 2014

Busy hospital

Lady in pink does Tai Chi

People linger, gaze.

Art Prescription:  It seems hospitals have become like malls. Busy, people everywhere, employees, patients, and families going for lunch. The lady in pink doing Tai Chi caught my eye. I stopped and watched her graceful movements.  Watercolor pencil sketchbook…
