Fall pink zinnias

Raise their head towards the sun

Shield against first frost.

A life before now

Repurposed, a new pattern

Life, double helix.

Art Prescription: Many objects and patterns have multiple lives. A farmer’s tool cart becomes a magazine rack. An old bed becomes a porch swing. Old patterns cycle round…here is a watercolor take on IKAT.

In a riot of color

Know when to let go.

White dots the wide open field

Cotton in the bud.

Down the hill they go

Skateboards! choreographed speed

Practice makes perfect.

Art Prescription: Two teen boys in my neighborhood have been practicing for a couple of days now going down and around on a hilly path. Muddy from crashing, they giggle and try again. Just two boys and their wheels…no thought of the past or the future…just the now.

Farm entrance, dogwood

Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike

Horses in the woods.

Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
