Cardinals, crows, and tree frogs

All sing their best song!

Zebra safari

Leopards, giraffes too.

Art Prescription: Looks like animal prints are coming back around. Good! Hopefully it will remind all the fashionistas of our planet and the need to take good care. Peace!

Sleet bounces off coat

Leaves shiver, abrasive wind

Early spring betrayed.

Sunlight warms the stall

Sweet oats, leather and hay

Fill contented nose.

Art Prescription: Pinto gets a snack after a cold morning ride. He was such a good boy today. Everything about being on this farm with fresh air and horses feeds my senses.

Winter’s fury, ice

Cold, sharp sleet crackles the ground

Nature is silent.

Art Prescription: Wow, what a complete turn-around from yesterday. The birds have traded in mating calls for eating as much as possible.

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.

Where all is quiet

Trees rest in the setting sun

A walk in the woods.

Art Prescription: After two hectic days at my RN job, I came home to take a walk in the woods. The stress of the day evaporates into the sky and I breathe in cool, fresh air.

Bareback on “my” horse

I feel each step Pinto takes

Nothing else matters.

Art Prescription: Started my Intuitive Horseback Riding at Blue Skies Farm today! To launch us right off with breathing and being centered with our horse, we rode bareback. Beautiful! My legs were trembling with nerves and muscles fatigue, and it’s all good. At that point it was just me and Pinto. Trust…

Wrong composition

Learn from your mistakes and then

Just go start over!!

Art Prescription: So every painting does not work out!! Sometimes you begin and get to a point where you realize, “this is just not working.” Then you go for a walk and come back. Choose to abandoned your painting and go all out with color, knowing tomorrow there will be a fresh new clean sheet of white paper.
