Remembering tree
An act of art to mourn loss
You are not alone.
Art Prescription: My stark tree coming to life as people remember a loved one. Through art, people grieve, feel less alone in their sorrow, and create beauty. Thank you Heidi Gessner, UNC Bereavement Coordinator, for inviting me to be a part of this service!
Silent swoop above
She navigates with sheer stealth
Wise creature, the owl.
Art Prescription: Are you in tune with your environment? Do you pause to notice all that is grandeur around you? Did you miss the flight of the owl? Life is a fleeting moment…be in the moment.
Woodpecker tap taps
Sepia, yellow-ochre
Wash the field and woods.
Art Prescription: A walk at Mason Farm today reveals a much more muted fall palette. Still beautiful, it’s really all according to the way you see things!!
The cycle of life
Be open to a new way
Breath, shift, move forward.
Art Prescription: One constant in life is that everything changes.
Not sexy high heels!
The woods, farmland, dirty knees
Horses, dogs, and cats!
Art Prescription: Did your parent want you to be something you were not? Have you found your authentic self? Isn’t it wonderful to be YOU! Authentic YOU!
Stand your ground, be brave
Open your heart and just ask
What you need is there.
Art Prescription: Today at my Intuitive Horseback Riding lesson at Blue Sky Farm http://blueskiesmapleview.us/ my instructor invited me into the ring with Splash. I was to get Splash to walk or trot around the ring by being assertive, with my “energy.” I did have a little lion-tailed rope to give him a gentle butt tap, but mostly it was up to me to get this four-legged 1,000 lb animal to move. Okay, I have some real work to do here, but I did feel extremely BRAVE, and that is good. I feel nothing but encouraged by my challenges and am grateful for this experience. Here’s a brush sketch…
Shade and oxygen
Year round seasonal beauty
The grandeur of trees!
Art Prescription: Working on this pair…wondering if I want to add reds and orange and make it a fall scene…or leave as is??
Steady streams of leaves
Twirl to ground, still warm fall air
Autumn’s subtle move.
Art Prescription: Warm day, but Autumn sneaks in.
Red October rose
Symbol of beauty and love
Scented, sensuous.
Art Prescription: Love of roses and their tantalizing scent has seduced and intoxicated people more than any other flower! The fossils of wild roses have been found as far back as forty million years ago.
Curled in saw-dust pile
The barn cat nests in horse stall
Morning nap on farm!
Art Prescription: All the senses are awake at the farm. So much beauty to take in. Today I was particularly fond of seeing the barn cat rule. So at ease, so gentle, so, well, safe. I am working on ease…
