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.
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.
Dorothy was right
No matter how far you roam,
There’s no place like home.
Art Prescription: Feeling much like a princess in a palace, I’m home!! Home with my creature comforts, and everything else that makes my heart sing.
True steadfast balance
The rituals of a home
Each day IS your life.
Art Prescription: The way we live each day is the way we live our life!
Silver belt goes round
Luggage drops, red ribbon?, sigh
And now! Take me home!
Art Prescription: I’m home from New York. Fantastic trip! Did a little doodle on the flight…
Sleepy-eyed I fall
Into my lover’s embrace
Grey morning, warm hug.
Art Prescription: On the edge of sleep when you haven’t fully connected with the busy world is a perfect time to embrace your loves. Spouses, partners, children, pets, spirit! Embrace connecting with them.
Chance of snow flurries
Stirs fun childhood memories
A day off! to start!!
Art Prescription: The excitement of a winter storm warning here in North Carolina permeates the air. Bet the grocery shelves are stripped clean of milk and bread!! Kind-of funny, kind of real! Confession…I find myself looking out the window…is it snowing yet!!
Wood fires scent the air.
Scarf, hat, and gloves become needs
Winter warm fashion!!
Stars twinkle clear sky
Lovely ring circles full moon
Light for longest nights!
Art Prescription: Evening walks take on new meanings in winter. Instead of watching the sun set, I get to watch the moon rise. Tonight the moon is full…called by Native Americans the “Full Cold Moon,” or the “Full Long Nights Moon.” This time of year temperatures dive, 20’s expected here in North Carolina. Since it’s hard to capture the beauty of a moon lit sky with a camera (unless you are a pro), I encourage you to sketch and/or paint this magical winter scene!
The Full Cold Moon; or the Full Long Nights Moon – December During this month the winter cold fastens its grip, and nights are at their longest and darkest. It is also sometimes called the Moon before Yule. The term Long Night Moon is a doubly appropriate name because the midwinter night is indeed long, and because the Moon is above the horizon for a long time. The midwinter full Moon has a high trajectory across the sky because it is opposite a low Sun.
