Vintage Hunt July 7, 2014
Ephemera hunt
Inspiration in a bag
Bits, paper, pieces.
Art Prescription: So, what if you got a bag of goodies to do collage with? A bag of random ephemera to take and do as you please! Art journaling, art collage, expressive therapy!
Art Drop June 3, 2014
Hope hangs in a tree
A fun message of surprise
Random acts of art!
Art Prescription: Me and my accomplice did an art drop today….secret place. My hope is that a person who needs it most, will find a little piece of art to make them smile!
Split Personality May 23, 2014
Two worlds, artist, nurse
Some days my hat does not fit
Either, want to rest!
Art Prescription: I’ve been weaving my two worlds of nursing and art together for about 10 years…maybe 11…or all my life…which came first? I love both in many ways. Often it’s the transition that is hardest. What hats do you wear? Which hat fits you best? Fits your spirit?
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.
Posies May 6, 2014
A vase of posies
Plucked fresh from the spring garden
Just right for a sketch.
Art Prescription: A cutting garden is a wonderful way to pamper yourself with fresh flowers!
Field Sketching April 3, 2014
Blue barn on the hill
Watches over the horses
Redbuds bloom purple.
Art Prescription: I spent the whole day field sketching! Started at the NC Botanical Gardens and then to Blue Skies Farm in the afternoon. Bliss!
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?”
