Berries in their beaks
A cluster of robins feed
Abundant autumn.
Art Prescription: Another wonderful walk at Mason Farm. We’ve been walking here for 23 years! Our favorite place. Always something to cure the soul, just us and nature. Pen and ink and colored pencil on envelope.
Outside my window
Fall has brushed trees with color
Warm golden yellows!
Art Prescription: My husband bought me a horse for our 23rd wedding anniversary gift…Finn!! I’m so excited and overwhelmed with love. Stay tuned for lots of pics and art with my boy Finn!! Watercolor pencils on an envelope.
Almost November
First snow expected to west
Red Gerbers still bloom.
Art Prescription: A cold front is moving in. To the west of us snow is predicted. My Gerber Daisies are still in full bloom. Here is another IKAT design in watercolor.
Regal hawk on wire
Hunts over field and meadow
Tractor marks on dirt.
Art Prescription: A field through the seasons…sow, reap, plow. Fresh tractor marks on red dirt fields. Sketch on an envelope.
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
Do it for yourself!
Run, walk, swim, just get moving
You are powerful!!
Art Prescription: Give your brain a boost! I’m not a runner, envious of my friends who are, but I like to swim and know that I get an endorphin dose from that! Celebrate your body!
Yoga on the porch
Stretch while leaves rustle in wind
Sun salutations!
Art Prescription: I enjoy doing yoga on our back deck!
Meditate or nap
Stretch, Hatha or Flow Yoga
All up to the mind.
Art Prescription: I haven’t slept well in about three nights and it occurs to me that it’s either hormonal or a busy mind. So, off to yoga I go today to set a big intention of calming my nervous system so I can slumber…hope it works! Course it did not help that my husband’s phone alerting him to a new text message went off at 2:00 a.m.!! 2:00 a.m.!! Curse!! Back to my mantra, “All is well…All is well…and all that is, is well.”
Quiet studio
Walk to seek social contact
Neighborhood friends, dogs!
Art Prescription: Art can be a lonely endeavor at times. Creativity needs quiet, and as humans we also need social contact to thrive. I mix it up by going to the Wellness Center most mornings to swim or do yoga, and then round out my day with an evening walk in my neighborhood. Since we have cats, I get to say hello and pet all my dog friends, I like their owners too! Balance is the key…how do you maintain balance?
