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.
6 x 9 pen and ink and watercolor pencil
Running down a day
Chasing the hands of a clock
Or take a nice walk.
Art Prescription: Some days are meant for running, and some meant for slow walks in the woods.
Envelope art with pen and ink and colored pencil.
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.
Index Card, pen and ink, colored pencil, stamp = hope
A deep thick grey fog
Settles across open field
A flock of geese graze.
Art Prescription: There is something soothing about fog. The way it just lazily lingers…making everything a bit out of focus. To stand in tree pose in yoga I find a soft gaze most beneficial. When I try too hard…my balance gets all out of whack. Perhaps we don’t always need to see so clearly!! A little bit softer now…

Christmas tangerines
In a pretty box with nuts
Under grandma’s tree.
Art Prescription: The holidays can be rough. Seems family dynamics are amplified. The world is spinning too fast. And most of us just want it to be over so our lives can get back to normal. Did our grandparents feel this way? I have some pretty super memories of simple gifts of fruit and nuts under my grandmother’s multi-colored light tree. I think we expect way too much out of ourselves!! Go easy…
Index card
Santa in the south
Perhaps hires a Christmas truck
To help deliver!
Art Prescription: Love an old truck decked out with spirit!
Index Card Sketch
Rain pours out of sky
Red stoplights glow in the grey
Cars swoosh by, splash, splash!
Art Prescription: Cold rainy day. Good for yoga and art journaling!
6 x 9 watercolor
Like a sheet of ice
The pond reflects cool blue sky
Wispy rows of clouds.
Art Prescription: Like a still pond, our art reflects what we are feeling inside. This is why it is so important to just express yourself with art!! No judgement about whether it is “good” or not. Just get it out in color, brush-strokes, or collage.
Mixed media expressive painting.
Farrier at farm
Horses stand still for this man
Gentle pedicure.
Art Prescription: Graphite sketch.
Calendar countdown
Joy on earth found in the woods
In the silent night.
Art Prescription: Still the most peaceful, out in nature.
Envelope art.
