Out beyond the gate
I find my breath, deep and full
On a white mare’s back.
Art Prescription: Rode Lacey today! Some ring work…my trot a little better…and then off into the woods and corn-fields. Lean forward going up-hill and lean back going down hill. I try to let her rhythm carry my body. Trust, let go and breathe. Folks this is big.
Shelves of pure color
Buy single or in a group
Paint in a pencil!
Art Prescription: Field trip to the art store today. Shelves of color, watercolor, acrylic, oils, pastels, colored pencils, watercolor pencils, ink, markers. It’s intoxicating!! And oh all the papers…
Well I survived and got out with some exciting stuff to try. A bargain for the spirit.
Gerber daisy wow!
A sea of velvet petals
In every hue.
Art Prescription: Any garden shop is a canvas for a floral artist. Nature makes colors we mortals attempt to match. It would be a fun challenge to mix and match each color of this photo. So many shades of pink, red, and yellow…a good learning exercise.
Afraid of corners?
Are you holding on too tight?
Can you sit back, down?
Art Prescription: I’m practicing awareness. Where does my energy go? Who and whom do I allow into my space, my energy field? When do I feel empowered, energized, and when do I feel depleted? Working with horses at Blue Skies of Mapleview is humbling. The horses, with their soft knowing gaze, are helping me get in touch with a couple of things, and it’s all that and more!
Laundry flaps in wind
Mares graze, tall grass, buttercups
Afternoon at farm.
Art Prescription: I sit and watch…observe their ears, their eyes, their tales as they swish at flies. They know I’m there. One of the most joyful things about sketching is simply the art of observation. I notice the sights, sounds, and smells of my surroundings. I get still and take it all in.
Raining cats and dogs
Windshield wipers on high mode
No umbrella, wet!!
Art Prescription: I did not heed the weather forecast, so came home looking like a wet rat! And a cold rain too. Warm shower, p.j.’s, and a quick pen and ink.
Soft, scented, clean sheets
New purple summer night-gown
Simple-life diva.
Art Prescription: It doesn’t take much for me to feel like a princess. A day in the sun, pulling weeds optimal, time in my studio, a cat purr, long walks with my hubby. Blessed!
It’s a flipping phone
Blast from the past, push buttons
Technology! Fast!
Art Prescription: This is a piece of art done my my good friend Parasol B for the Smart Phone Art Show which opened tonight! If you are local to Durham, NC, go!
