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!
High-rise bird condo
Lade-side view for dive, dipping
Purple Martin house.
Art Prescription: The swallow family. Graceful to watch. 3 x 5 index card sketch
Wildflower runway
Spring color fashionistas
Trendy haute couture!
Art Prescription: High design for sure!
Smell of vetiver
Rich, earthy bog, sweet wetlands
Guppies, frogs, and snakes!
Art Prescription: Snakes! Yikes, but some people love seeing them. They are nature’s creations too. As we head into warmer weather, the bog awakens, and the water is teaming with life. Remember when you looked at bog water under a microscope? Spirogyra…Be curious.
Love to go around
Enough for everyone
Spread one at a time.
Art Prescription: There really is enough. Enough of all that you need. Take a look around and see that love goes around one person or animal at a time, we have enough to share.
