Wild irises grow
On the edge of country pond
Baby ducks waddle.
Art Prescription: An evening walk around our neighborhood pond…relaxing. And I see a duck with 10 ducklings trailing behind her. I hope to get some sketches of this fowl family. For now, the purple wild irises hold my attention. Pen and ink in sketchbook.
Wetland habitat
Turtles lined up on swamp logs
Osprey tends her brood.
Art Prescription: A bird watching hike to Tobacco Road Trail. The trail head is near Jordan Lake wetlands. Lots to see there…and in my own backyard. Sketchbook…pen and ink.
Fish aquarium
On the walls of summer pool
Splash!! Watermelon.
Art Prescription: Finished two murals today just in time for our neighborhood summer pool to open. New brightly colored towels and suits, kids splashing away, and pool-side watermelon. Yep, it’s summer.
Raining cats and dogs
Windshield wipers on high mode
No umbrella, wet!!
Art Prescription: I did not heed the weather forecast, so came home looking like a wet rat! And a cold rain too. Warm shower, p.j.’s, and a quick pen and ink.
Wash day, clean white horse
Rolls in the dirt to dry off
Mud, natures sunscreen.
Art Prescription: I rode Lacey today, a new mare at Blue Skies. Hot day for May, so after our ride we got to spray them off. They really liked that!! And just like a clean dog, Lacey trotted into the grassy meadow and proceeded to roll. Pretty cute!! Pen and ink and watercolor 5 x 7.
Streak of blue feathers
Mama blue-bird dive-bombs jay
She’s a girl with eggs!
Art Prescription: There is no getting past a woman sitting on nest eggs. Not you, not you, and not your brother! Bring it! Girl Power!!
Soft, scented, clean sheets
New purple summer night-gown
Simple-life diva.
Art Prescription: It doesn’t take much for me to feel like a princess. A day in the sun, pulling weeds optimal, time in my studio, a cat purr, long walks with my hubby. Blessed!
Sunday endorphins
Found in the pool, lap by lap
Hallmark holiday.
Art Prescription: What if everyday was Mother’s Day, Nurse’s Day, Father’s Day? How about we treat everyday as a holiday to celebrate life and those we love? Why wait until it’s pushed upon us and most people think everyone else is celebrating the perfect “day.” My wish!!! Be real…be you…
Volatilize, swirl
Look, smell, and sip, take a bite
Wine and food pairing.
Art Prescription: The use of all senses…a wine tasting.
Climbing Clematis
Weaves fragile tendrils around
Sending blooms to top!
Art Prescription: There is something mesmerizing about vines. How they know to wrap and weave their way to get to where they are going. Wish my path was so clear…
