Vines grew and wound up
Anything they could find to
Help them meet the sun.
Art Prescription: Busy, busy RN day…needed a little dose of Art Prescription for myself.

Golden Ratio August 4, 2015
The leaves on a stem
Branching of a winter tree
An uncurling fern.
Art Prescription: And the butterfly knows where to go…
Watercolor and pen and ink on watercolor paper.
Crowded August 3, 2015
A pretty cute crowd
Small nest in a fern basket
Move over, my worm!
Art Prescription: Discovered this nest when eggs were laid. Now spying on the biddies.

Hummer in the Flowers August 2, 2015
Outside my window
Hummingbirds play, drink nectar
From lush, sweet, flowers.
Art Prescription: Where did July go?
Sunset July 27, 2015
Off into sunset
She flies, takes July with her
And leaves start to change.
Art Prescription: Ever so subtle fall starts creeping in…

Shade and Sketch May 4, 2015
Under the shade tree
Cows, sheep, and goats roam, while the
Farm tells us stories.
Art Prescription: A day for all the senses. Blue skies with puffy white clouds, the smell of fresh hay and grass, lambs bah, a red apple to eat, the feel of a wooden picnic table. Field sketching at Hogan Farm.

Backyard May 1, 2015
Squirreling away seed
Little “hands” work to gather
Sunflower seed pet.
Art Prescription: It’s hard to feed the birds and not the squirrels. They are master-minds at breaking bird feeders. So I enjoy watching their acrobatic antics.

Old Barn April 28, 2015
Framed by a fence line
The old barn can tell stories
About time before.
Art Prescription: I’ve been driving by this barn for years. Here before all the traffic and houses, here when life was simpler. She stands in a field documenting her stories.

Daybreak March 22, 2015
Birds sing at daybreak
The dark recedes, a new day
Long weekend mornings.
Art Prescription: Waking to my own rhythm is bliss.

Horses Know March 11, 2015
Sugar, spice, and sass
Sweet little mare with long bangs
Knew what I needed.
Art Prescription: I rode Shelly today. After feeding over the winter I was intrigued by this spirited mare. She would always come to greet me at the gate. Finn is healing and getting some time off. I really enjoyed Shelly’s energy today…just what I needed.
