I’ve got your back friend

Those hard, rough places in life

I’ll be by your side.

Art Prescription: Many lessons learned on the farm. Watercolor pencil and pen and ink sketch.

Freshly mowed meadow

Scent of dried grass, blue birds dip

Catch insects mid-flight.

Art Prescription: Sunday hike at Merritt’s Pasture. The field was freshly mowed, except they left islands of milk-weed for the monarch butterflies. Saw cardinals, titmice, chickadees, blue-birds, and a juvenile hawk. Watercolor sketch with pen and ink.

Goodbye July 30, 2014

Parting, sweet sorrow

Goodbye my sweet Lacey horse

Thanks for the good rides.

Art Prescription: Lacey, the sweet mare I’ve been riding for about 3 months, is returning to her home farm. She is a horse a family grew up with and she is loved. Which made her lovable. I’ve enjoyed my time with her, the rides, the baths, the grooming. I’m grateful she crossed my path.

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.

Divine Guidance April 16, 2014

Cool breeze rustles grass

Not a cloud in the blue sky

Horse nose, buttercups.

Art Prescription: Trying to make some big decisions, I went to the farm to seek divine guidance. A farm is a good place to do some soul searching.

One with Horse April 15, 2014

Sole bareback beauty

Canters across fresh green field

She is one with horse.

Art Prescription: To watch a young lady ride bareback with complete composure is a joy. She makes it look so simple. Truth is she is in awe of this horse and with mad skills the horse knows. So impressive. Beautiful.

The thrill of the ride

A sweet gentle rocking horse

Canter in the ring.

Art Prescription: After practicing my posting trot on my bike, no less, I got to put homework into action today on Pinto Bean. Still a little rough around the edges, but I’m making progress. We ended our session with a canter and Pinto proved to have a sweet and gentle pace.

Before we ride it’s fun and interesting to look at herd behavior. Never a dull moment, here is Iloa dunking her whole head into the water. Horse-play. Charlie is looking at her with curiousity. “What on earth are you doing?”

The end of lead rope

Command, control, compassion

Communication.

Art Prescription: The four C’s…day at farm…zen!

The corn fields been plowed

Tall brownish stalks bend to ground

Asters fill meadows.

Art Prescription: Another day in the country. Went and helped paint barns at the farm where I’m riding horses. Then walked with hubby at Mason Farm, our favorite place. The wildflowers are plenty. Started a painting…stay tuned for tomorrow…I’ll finish!!
