A walk in the woods
Spring wildflowers, pen and ink
For you to color!
Art Prescription: Today I did a set of three pen and ink wildflowers on index cards. I’d love to do an adult coloring book with wildflowers, feathers, and birds. https://www.etsy.com/listing/232055127/adult-coloring-wildflower-index-cards?ref=shop_home_active_1
Pen and ink on index cards
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.
8 1/2 x 8 1/2 watercolor and chop that says “hope”
Among buttercups
Two buddies graze on spring grass
Sumptuous meadow.
Art Prescription: Finn has a new buddy, Digby. They follow one another out in the open grass.

They each get a pair of wings
Three wise bay geldings.
Art Prescription: No fairies were harmed in this photo shoot.
Iphone photo
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.
Watercolor
Quick little scurry
A flash of brown and whiskers
Field mouse, buttercups.
Art Prescription: Along my walk today.
Sky returns to blue
Group of Scarlet Tanagers
Striking red, black wings.
Art Prescription: Spent my morning at the farm. On and off rain. Late day walk at Mason Farm and lots of birds. Scarlet Tanagers glow in the green canopy.
Index card with colored pencil
Northern Parula
Steady song in the forest
Lulled by the soft rain.
Art Prescription: Early hike at Mason Farm and the rain caught us. It was quite peaceful walking under the canopy of trees while the rain pitter-pattered on leaves.
Collage, colored pencil and graphite:
Field crickets chirp, court
Call out for a female mate
Wind carries their song.
Art Prescription: Ending my week sitting in the middle of a field with horses and crickets. Most of the song you hear from crickets are the males serenading the females…sound familiar? And it’s their wings that make the sound not their legs. Beautiful to just sit and listen to the breeze, a couple of cardinals, sounds of horses chomping grass, and a distant caw of crows.
Art Journal Sketchbook
Ephemeral sketch
Two friends, one quilt, wildflowers
Sun-hats and magic.
Art Prescription: Into the garden we did go! With our sun-hats, colored pencils, and a sense of hope. Wildflowers we did find, along with cures for the common soul!!
