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!
The veins of a leaf
Transport sugar and water
Branches, pathways, life.
Art Prescription: The veins of leaves and branches on trees mimic our vascular and nervous system. Gives you something to think about. Colored pencil, pen and ink, and collage on an A2 envelope.
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.
A twister of leaves
Swirls up the street, red and gold
Comes to rest on curb.
Art Prescription: The wind does a dance with leaves.
The last leaves hold tight
Blustery cold wind moves in
Trees are left naked!
Art Prescription: Swirls of leaves floated in air today…They let go!
Beneath the leaf quilt
Wildflowers wait patiently
While winter performs!
Art Prescription: Even though the woods seem very quiet now, how nice, there is always a lot going on underneath the surface. Don’t let the cold keep you indoors. Put on a scarf, big coat, and mittens, and go out into nature! A red cardinal sitting on a winter branch is stunning!
Bare winter branches
Cradle last seasons bird art
Perfect little nests!
Art Prescription: The last of the leaves have fallen leaving winter sculpture. Bare trees reach towards grey sky. The labor of spring love is revealed.
Rich earth, woodsy smell
Steady shower of leaves fall
Ground collage takes shape.
Art Prescription: An early walk in the woods is good for the soul! Standing there watching morning sunlight stream in as leaves dance and sway to the ground is magical. I felt for a moment, oh no! what if this were not here! So quiet and peaceful there…like no other place.
Outside trees aglow
Burnt orange, red, and yellow
Indian summer.
Art Prescription: North Carolina fall…out in short-sleeves today. Trees are peaking in color. They seem to glow!
Childhood laughter soars
Neighbors out in fall perfect
Leaves rehearse for show!
Art Prescription: As I took my afternoon walk, my neighborhood was lively with kids and families out enjoying this mild NC fall weather. Big blue sky, perhaps need a sweat-shirt. I painted with my studio door open…much to show later. Get out there while the weather is perfect for sketching or painting outside!
