An empty bird’s nest
Sits still against cold grey skies
Blue chrysanthemums.

Meadow November 9, 2014
As soon as I leave
I want to return to this
Place where geese fly by.
Art Prescription: Meadows are my favorite spots. And a meadow with horses…well “As soon as I leave, I want to return.”
Watercolor, pen and ink, 5 x 11.
Fall Robins November 2, 2014
Berries in their beaks
A cluster of robins feed
Abundant autumn.
Art Prescription: Another wonderful walk at Mason Farm. We’ve been walking here for 23 years! Our favorite place. Always something to cure the soul, just us and nature. Pen and ink and colored pencil on envelope.
Finally Fall November 1, 2014
Outside my window
Fall has brushed trees with color
Warm golden yellows!
Art Prescription: My husband bought me a horse for our 23rd wedding anniversary gift…Finn!! I’m so excited and overwhelmed with love. Stay tuned for lots of pics and art with my boy Finn!! Watercolor pencils on an envelope.
Hawk October 25, 2014
Regal hawk on wire
Hunts over field and meadow
Tractor marks on dirt.

Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Mini Treats September 12, 2014
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
Sing True June 22, 2014
I forgo my voice
Trying to sing like others
My throat trembles truth.
Art Prescription: Why does it always take so long to circle back around to our truths?
After a Ride June 21, 2014
After morning ride
She gets a spray, cool water
Returns to the hay.
Art Prescription: Rode Miss Lacey this morning. Went early to beat the heat. I love spraying her down with cool water, washing the saddle-marked sweat from her white body. She enjoys it too! I return her to the paddock where fresh hay awaits. A grazing horse…Zen.
Glamour June 17, 2014
Diamonds and pearls
Everyday glamorous
Audrey Hepburn chic.
Art Prescription: As I sit here all moist with perspiration (aka sweat), in my summer shorts and tees, I wonder did these glamour queens always look this fresh? Did they wear diamonds and pearls to the movies and eat buttered popcorn with their bare hands? Surely they held their pinky finger just so while sipping tea. I’ll be right back….I’m boiling some fresh corn on the cob!!
