Finger Painting September 27, 2013

Open door weather

My studio, my escape

Breeze sweeps my brushes.

Art Prescription:  And then don’t know what got into me, but I started finger painting. Squirting paint directly onto paper and spreading it with my fingers. It’s good to get your hands into a little paint now and then.

Galloping Horses September 25, 2013

A herd of horses

Come thundering across field

Majestic beauties!

Art Prescription:  Watching Deborah Pearson-Moyers (http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us/aboutus.htm) call her herd of horses and see them galloping across the field for breakfast is simply a moment of pure magic! They were not visible out in the pasture, but her voice had them come over the ridge of the field in one big thundering group. She said, “Listen to that!” Yep she loves it! Me too!

Magic Meadow September 23, 2013

Magic meadow wind

The breath of  woodland fairies

Stay awhile, listen.

Art Prescription:  We hiked both weekend days at Mason Farm, a local wildlife preserve close to home. It’s a spirit-filled place for both of us. A place to be still and quiet and listen to the wind.

Flying Bugs September 22, 2013

Grasshoppers set sail

Over thickets of purple

Yellow Golden Rod!

Art Prescription:  Lots of flying grasshoppers today and dragonflies. Interesting behavior, dragonflies dipping their tails into puddles of water. They are laying eggs. Dragonflies dip and swoop,  territorial action…flying bugs!

Fall Meadow September 21, 2013

The corn fields been plowed

Tall brownish stalks bend to ground

Asters fill meadows.

Art Prescription:  Another day in the country. Went and helped paint barns at the farm where I’m riding horses. Then walked with hubby at Mason Farm, our favorite place. The wildflowers are plenty. Started a painting…stay tuned for tomorrow…I’ll finish!!

Black and White September 20, 2013

Black and white and gray

The world is neither, but a

Beautiful mixture!

Art Prescription:  Slept with my black ink pen last night…talk about the pea and the princess. The hazard of bedtime journaling.  Well, just suffice it to say that I totally went to the drug store to buy “White Rain” hairspray. Let’s hope that works to get the ink out of the sheets. In the meantime thought some black and white art just seemed right!
