Sumptuous meadow.

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.

Field Mouse April 27, 2015
Quick little scurry
A flash of brown and whiskers
Field mouse, buttercups.
Art Prescription: Along my walk today.
Crickets April 24, 2015
Field crickets chirp, court
Call out for a female mate
Wind carries their song.
Art Prescription: Ending my week sitting in the middle of a field with horses and crickets. Most of the song you hear from crickets are the males serenading the females…sound familiar? And it’s their wings that make the sound not their legs. Beautiful to just sit and listen to the breeze, a couple of cardinals, sounds of horses chomping grass, and a distant caw of crows.

Rainy Days March 19, 2015
Rain on a tin roof
Makes a barn nice and cozy
Horses get more hay.
Art Prescription: So I was out caring for Finn while two classes of 8 to 10 year old girls came to the farm for lessons. A steady rain meant no riding, but there is so much more to learn at the barn about caring for horses. It’s getting cool tonight so the girls helped put out extra hay for all.

Time Management March 9, 2015
Busy to-do list
A chance to wear many hats
Hour by hour.
Art Prescription: Off to a busy Monday. I’ve been out to the farm caring for my Finn 6 out of the last 7 days. He is doing very well. Days are long, life is short… We painted feathers in todays art studio workshop.
Cows February 6, 2015
The big horizon
A herd of cows are lowing
Fuzzy soft noses.
Art Prescription: Ever look into the big soft round eyes of a cow?

Farm Chores February 22, 2015
Hair salted with hay
Muddy hand-prints adorn pants
Makings of happy!
Art Prescription: I love being out at the farm in the morning with the horses. They greet me close to the gait waiting for their breakfast. Fresh hay is very exciting. The cardinals are singing and the clouds break into sunshine.

Summer Dreaming February 17, 2015
Such a winter day
Summer dreaming, hot color
Bird song in my head.
