Deer January 10, 2015

Six brown eyes on us

They stand like statues in grass

Deer at Mason Farm!

Art Prescription:  A nature walk with my best friend, my love…Lots of birds and owls talking about territory. So beautiful. Around the bend we came up on a deer family. They of course saw us first.

Outside Looking In January 8, 2015

Warm glow from windows

Folks settle, evening time

January chill.

Art Prescription:  As I walk in the dusk and see all the warmly lit homes, it reminds me of how fortunate we all are. I’m so grateful that at the flip of a switch I can get warmer. Simple daily pleasures. Wish all mankind and creatures warmth…

In Spirit January 3, 2015

Farm sanctuary

Fresh air, a religion

Horses my teachers.

Art Prescription:  I’ve spent much of my holiday time out at the farm. It occurs to me that I’m learning patience, tolerance, and that throwing bales of hay to horses is extremely therapeutic!! Lovely views…

Right Now January 1, 2015

Bright white moon and stars

Follow a perfect blue sky

New year and new day!

Art Prescription:  Pretty loose resolutions here at the Art Prescription.  Just think we should all be…whatever makes you most happy. That is where your authentic self lives. So go ahead, be that! Happy New Year!!

Per Thoreau December 30, 2014

Direction of dreams

Success in common hours

A life imagined.

Art Prescription:  2014 is rolling out…2015 is rolling in. What successes in unexpected common hours do you desire? What endeavors and dreams do you have?

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of dreams, and endeavors to live the life imagined, she/he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

-Henry David Thoreau

My Brother December 28, 2014

Lean on me today

I will stand tall and strong now

Catch you if you fall.

Art Prescription:  This post is for my brother, who reminded me over the holidays that he is here for me. Through thick and thin he is there to lean on.
