Stylish farm couture
Mud boots, check, gloves, sun-hat, check
Some girls wear ball gowns!!
Art Prescription: Spent a very happy half day at the farm with Finn. My buddy Ginger and I fed 13 horses and did a few more chores…it was a beautiful December day!
Watercolor 8 1/2 x 11
Like a sheet of ice
The pond reflects cool blue sky
Wispy rows of clouds.
Art Prescription: Like a still pond, our art reflects what we are feeling inside. This is why it is so important to just express yourself with art!! No judgement about whether it is “good” or not. Just get it out in color, brush-strokes, or collage.
Mixed media expressive painting.
Four seconds to flame
Neighbors come out, winter night
Streets lined with candles.
Art Prescription: I’ve been heading up luminaries for our neighborhood for about 8 years. The thing that always brings me joy is to see neighbors coming out and working together as a community to create a beautiful winter night.
Thank you to my local followers for coming to my Open Studio!!
Farrier at farm
Horses stand still for this man
Gentle pedicure.

Chickadee nocturne
Musical composition
Sweet, evocative.
Art Prescription: We love the sweet song of the chickadee. We hear this particular nocturne in the evening.
Art journal collage, colored pencil, pen and ink:
Open studio
Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!
Art Prescription: Today was a cold, wet, rainy day! And my friends and neighbors still came out to celebrate my open studio with me. Thanks y’all!! For those of you who live a little far off…
The sound of silence
A feather floats to the ground
No one notices.
Art Prescription: Except for someone lucky enough to find a treasure…feathers on the ground.
6 x 9 Watercolor pencil and pen and ink
Dried hydrangeas
Their season of glory done
Form, “Damn near perfect.”
Art Prescription: I found out today that one of my favorite patients passed away. I just want to honor him here. He was a delightful person, and every time anyone asked him how he was his response was, “damn near perfect.” I sure hope he has a “damn near perfect” journey to the other side.
Holiday traffic
All the fixings, loaded carts
Plans for gratitude.
Art Prescription: Wow, holiday hustle and bustle. My hope is that as we all sit down to share Thanksgiving dinner, we will also give thanks for the natural world around us. It’s pretty amazing…

Getting to know you
I look into big brown eyes
Searching for a yes.
Art Prescription: Went out to play with Finn today. Each day we get to know each other a tiny bit more. This building of a relationship, of love and trust, is an amazing process. I’m so honored he is letting me know him!
Back to studio for a little painting. Watercolor and Sumi Ink.
