Could be anywhere
Bright lights, crowds, music, and yet
Right now I’m so here!
Art Prescription: Know what you need. Now…honor that. Simple.

White Barns August 21, 2016
Steady in saddle
We meander along fields
Taking in country.
Art Prescription: Long trail ride on Finn this morning. So beautiful to explore the land from the back of a horse.

Afternoon Shadows October 16, 2015
Afternoon shadows
Fall on black cows in pasture
Grain bin keeps the gate.
Art Prescription: As I do most Fridays after my two RN days, I headed out to see Finn at the farm. I can be completely exhausted, and my visit with the horses and fresh air renews my spirit. On the way home I take in the gently rolling pastures. Today a herd of black cows against the green pasture made me pull over. As I sat in a drive a white truck approached me. “You okay honey.” “Yes sir, I just pulled off to take a picture of your cows, may I.” “You sure can. Did ya see the babies? They are probably off down near the woods. They are purdy.” He backed up the drive. He had only come down to see if I needed help. Country. A far cry from the news of the day. Just people watching out for each other. I got my photo and headed home. Sigh…

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.

Dairy Farm September 27, 2014
A place for ice-cream
Rolling country where cows graze
Big, tall, grain silos.
Art Prescription: Took my blanket, binoculars, and sketchbook out to the country today. Plopped myself on a hill over-looking a dairy farm. Meanwhile people wandered into the store for fresh and local ice-cream cones.
Pumpkins September 20, 2014
Picking a pumpkin
To adorn our porch for fall
Ritual color.
Art Prescription: Well this is just orange-luscious!! A trek out to the country for pumpkin picking.
Back-yard Swing July 20, 2014
Yard swing, days gone by
Time to set a while, talk slow
Linger in the shade.
Art Prescription: Iconic scene. A century old farm house. An outside setting with a swing for getting together in the yard.
Farm Sketching May 20, 2014
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.
