The sound of silence
A feather floats to the ground
No one notices.
Art Prescription: Except for someone lucky enough to find a treasure…feathers on the ground.

Breakfast for 13 December 2, 2014
Breakfast for a herd
A row of colored buckets
Smells of molasses.

Bustle November 25, 2014
Holiday traffic
All the fixings, loaded carts
Plans for gratitude.
Art Prescription: Wow, holiday hustle and bustle. My hope is that as we all sit down to share Thanksgiving dinner, we will also give thanks for the natural world around us. It’s pretty amazing…

Envelope Art November 24, 2014
Two streaks lightening
Race to meet across bold clouds
Thunder in winter.
Art Prescription: Do you think the old tale of “9 days after winter thunder it will snow” is true?
Cloudy days aside…I’m doodling flowers on an envelope!
Autumn Hues November 23, 2014
Catch a falling leaf
And put it in your pocket
Save for a study!
Art Prescription: I love the bright reds and oranges of autumn. And I also love the muted and softer hues of golden yellow, burnt siena, and peach.

Playing Possum November 21, 2014
Oh so still on trail
A grey ball of fluff, oh dear…
Just playing possum!
Art Prescription: On our morning hike at Mason Farm we came across a seemingly unfortunate scene. As we got closer Sam said, it’s breathing. We circled around through the woods. As soon as we were on down the path, the possum took off to continue meandering in the woods. Nature! Full of surprise.

Morning Chores November 19, 2014
Eight o’clock, eighteen!
Blue birds line up on the fence
Ground frozen solid!
Art Prescription: Out to help feed horses. 18 degrees. Oh yea, I’ve got this. Warmed up quickly and enjoyed early morning scenes of blue birds. Art journal page…
Clouds Roll November 17, 2014
Clouds roll in, cold front
Drafts of air take leaf remains
I dream of poppies.
Art Prescription: Rainy cold day. Good thing the imagination can take you away!

Piles of Leaves November 16, 2014
Scratch, scratch, rustle, scratch
A big pile of autumn leaves
Childhood memories.
Art Prescription: I grew up at 1205 Kingwood Drive. And our yard had big trees and lots of leaves!! I always enjoyed raking. I guess even as a child I liked the meditative aspect of being outdoors and being productive. The fact that I enjoy working at the farm where Finn stays is no surprise…3 x 5 index card illustration.
Mums November 15, 2014
An empty bird’s nest
Sits still against cold grey skies
Blue chrysanthemums.
