Turn signal keeps time
Traffic whirls by, horns come in
Rush hour music.
Art Prescription: Everyone is in such a rush. Tempers flare…people lose sight of what’s important in life. For what? Money? Power? …Kindness goes a lot further.

Choose Love April 9, 2014
Where the sky is wide
Freshly plowed fields, deep orange
That’s where horses run.
Art Prescription: The beauty of the rolling country on my way to Blue Skies Farm http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us calms my nervous system. Hello friend…choose love.
Rushed Blooms April 8, 2014
In a rush to bloom
Flowers wait all winter long
For a few sweet days.
Art Prescription: Sound familiar? We rush to be 16, and then we rush to be 21, and we rush to get through school and “start” our life. Don’t know about you…but these days I want to savor the moment.
Weeping Willow April 7, 2014
Color salts wood line
Tender young leaves shoot outward
Willows weeping green.
Art Prescription: A picture a day would capture the steady push of spring via leaves. Winter tree shapes now have a halo of green surrounding them. Renewal!
Owl April 6, 2014
Silent on a branch
Big brown eyes full of wisdom
Fine feathered owl.
Art Prescription: Today would have been my grandmother, Annie Jones’ birthday. Spending time with this owl was like a gift…guardian owl! Sketch in journal.
Bright Light April 5, 2014
Sun shimmers on lake
Bright April sunshine, new growth
Blue phlox, violets!!
Art Prescription: Did these 3 x 5 index cards at NC Botanical Garden and left them for someone to find!
Field Sketching April 3, 2014
Blue barn on the hill
Watches over the horses
Redbuds bloom purple.
Art Prescription: I spent the whole day field sketching! Started at the NC Botanical Gardens and then to Blue Skies Farm in the afternoon. Bliss!
Cantering on a horse April 2, 2104
The thrill of the ride
A sweet gentle rocking horse
Canter in the ring.
Art Prescription: After practicing my posting trot on my bike, no less, I got to put homework into action today on Pinto Bean. Still a little rough around the edges, but I’m making progress. We ended our session with a canter and Pinto proved to have a sweet and gentle pace.
Before we ride it’s fun and interesting to look at herd behavior. Never a dull moment, here is Iloa dunking her whole head into the water. Horse-play. Charlie is looking at her with curiousity. “What on earth are you doing?”
Spring Fireworks March 31, 2014
Bright yellow fireworks
Dot the edge of the forest
Spring celebration!
Purple Haze March 28, 2014
Good morning purple
Early light, lavender haze
Luminous new day.
Art Prescription: I’m rarely excited about setting my alarm clock for before the sun is up. But duty calls and oh the sunrise was glorious!!
