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?
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.
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!
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!
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?”
Bright yellow fireworks
Dot the edge of the forest
Spring celebration!
February sun
Six B graphite, smooth and dark
Spring blooms on paper.
Art Prescription: The blooms in my mind take me through February. Get your pencils out and let graphite glide across your paper!!
Love is in the air
Along with hot and cold waves
Birds look for houses.
Art Prescription: The weather goes up and down like a roller-coaster. Warm front…arctic blast. My layers of coats and jackets hang ready in the closet. Meanwhile, the birds seem to be right on track.
I can see clearly
Through these rose colored glasses
And the scent…divine.
Art Prescription: I think my theme for looking forward to a new year is all about roses! A few thoughts:
Rose Colored Glasses – Optimism and gratitude work!
A Bed of Roses – Seek comfort everyday…make your home your haven.
Everything is coming up roses – Expect the best…dream…and plan for them to come true.
Rose Scented Water – Yep, bathe in it!
A Rose is a Rose – Be authentic…be you!
Wind rattles dried leaves
Bare branches click together
Cold rain front moves in.
Art Prescription: A very strange warm weekend for December. A front with rain brings winter back.
