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

Wine and food pairing.

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…

Two new mares arrive

The herd greets them politely

Boys settle some turf!!

Art Prescription: Fascinating day at the farm. Two new mares are coming to visit Blue Skies of Mapleview. So some mixing up of the paddocks was involved. The home-horses were all a bit like, what? new? where is she going? And the two new mares were like, this place has exquisite hay, and we like all the attention, which we will ignore because, well we are new. The boys suffered a bit…Girl Power!!!
