Pumpkins on doorsteps
Project, the future of a
Lit Jack-o-Lantern!
Art Prescription: As I take my evening walk I enjoy the celebration of fall.

New Way October 16, 2013
The cycle of life
Be open to a new way
Breath, shift, move forward.
Art Prescription: One constant in life is that everything changes.
Goldfinch October 15, 2013
Canary yellow
High-pitched, sweet-song, melody
Likes thistle, Goldfinch!
Art Prescription: Taught Art Journaling workshop for parent/child today. The raw honesty of children brings a smile to my face. Fascinating, really, the power of art! Another Vision Board for me! Seems birds are showing up a lot these days…
Vision Journal October 14, 2013
He courts her with worm
They mate for life, cardinals.
Year-round backyard birds!
Art Prescription: I taught an Art Prescription Workshop today, Fabulous You! I asked my group to paint in their journals what they want more of in their lives. What does YES look like? We started off with random watercolor brush-strokes and washes, and then we moved to imagery. It always inspires me to see the art that happens when people give themselves permission to play. Here is my vision page:
Autumn Figs October 13, 2013
Sweet meat of Newton
Autumn fruit, chewy when ripe
Green and purple, fig!
Art Prescription: I’ve long admired the fig tree in my neighbor’s yard. This year it is loaded with fruit. The leaves themselves are a study, just beautiful lines. And the fruit, well, lobes of luscious!
Edge of Fall October 12, 2013
Cool and steady mist
Partly cloudy for days now
On the edge of fall.
Art Prescription: Each day the trees have a bit more color. Nature patiently puts on her fall wardrobe.
Authenticity October 11, 2013
Not sexy high heels!
The woods, farmland, dirty knees
Horses, dogs, and cats!
Art Prescription: Did your parent want you to be something you were not? Have you found your authentic self? Isn’t it wonderful to be YOU! Authentic YOU!
Art Deadline October 10, 2013
Fresh air studio
Door open to breath in fall
Working on deadline!
Art Prescription: My studio is total chaos!! Fun chaos! I’m working on lots of new paintings, so I have them spread out. At a distance perhaps I will know what to add next. Right now all of these are in progress.
Brave “Cowgirl” October 9, 2013
Stand your ground, be brave
Open your heart and just ask
What you need is there.
Art Prescription: Today at my Intuitive Horseback Riding lesson at Blue Sky Farm http://blueskiesmapleview.us/ my instructor invited me into the ring with Splash. I was to get Splash to walk or trot around the ring by being assertive, with my “energy.” I did have a little lion-tailed rope to give him a gentle butt tap, but mostly it was up to me to get this four-legged 1,000 lb animal to move. Okay, I have some real work to do here, but I did feel extremely BRAVE, and that is good. I feel nothing but encouraged by my challenges and am grateful for this experience. Here’s a brush sketch…
Sentinels of Life: Trees October, 8, 2013
Shade and oxygen
Year round seasonal beauty
The grandeur of trees!
Art Prescription: Working on this pair…wondering if I want to add reds and orange and make it a fall scene…or leave as is??
