Autumn Hues November 23, 2014

Catch a falling leaf

And put it in your pocket

Save for a study!

Art Prescription:  I love the bright reds and oranges of autumn. And I also love the muted and softer hues of golden yellow, burnt siena, and peach.

Tai Chi April 25, 2014

Busy hospital

Lady in pink does Tai Chi

People linger, gaze.

Art Prescription:  It seems hospitals have become like malls. Busy, people everywhere, employees, patients, and families going for lunch. The lady in pink doing Tai Chi caught my eye. I stopped and watched her graceful movements.  Watercolor pencil sketchbook…

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…

Dried Seeds October 5, 2013

Dried still-life on stem

A globe of abundant seeds

Gather and harvest.

Art Prescription:  Gathering all the seeds in my garden…cosmos, cone-flower. Flowers are stunning when they are full of color, and I find a quiet kind of beauty in their dried state. The delicate lines amaze and invite me to take a closer look. Life is all about taking a closer look…how do you really feel…what do you really see…what reality do you really want. Take a closer look!!
