Diamonds and pearls

Everyday glamorous

Audrey Hepburn chic.

Art Prescription:  As I sit here all moist with perspiration (aka sweat), in my summer shorts and tees, I wonder did these glamour queens always look this fresh? Did they wear diamonds and pearls to the movies and eat buttered popcorn with their bare hands? Surely they held their pinky finger just so while sipping tea. I’ll be right back….I’m boiling some fresh corn on the cob!!

Squirrel Proof June 16, 2014

Feed the birds, funny!

My stealth-like acrobatics

Houdini rodent.

Art Prescription:  Steamer of a day. While out watering my plants I watched the antics of my local squirrel friend. These “tree-rats” are clever, and anyone who has purchased a squirrel proof feeder knows they pretty much wasted their money. So, I just feed everyone.

Boundaries June 11, 2014

Agree, disagree

Stand your branch, chest puffed out bold

Speak your one true voice.

Art Prescription:  Relationships get challenged in many ways. We are all being pulled so many different directions these days. What started out as a painting of tropical birds turned into a commentary for me…art prescription.

Pillar June 7, 2014

A pillar of strength

Horses, with their all knowing

Grateful for the ride.

Art Prescription:  I rode Lacey today at Blue Skies of Mapleview. She is so sweet…oh dear…heart tug! On a whim, I stopped by another local horse barn. There I met Victoria, a beautiful girl, and her owner. I did a brush painting of her, trying to capture her strong features and gorgeous lines.

Hestia June 5, 2014

Domestic bliss, WHAM!

Vacuum cleaner topples stairs

Where is Hestia?

Art Prescription:  A vacuum cleaner tumbling down stairs is not graceful home-caring. Where is the goddess Hestia when you need her? In Ancient Greek religion Hestia (/ˈhɛstiə/Ancient GreekἙστία, “hearth” or “fireside”) is a virgin goddess of the hearthancient Greek architecture, and the right ordering of domesticity, the family, and the state.
