I used masking fluid. Hope once this is dry I can peel the mask off revealing white blossoms.

Seasonal Sighting
A road-side flicker
Falling leaf or butterfly
Depends on season.
Art Prescription: Our senses are hard-wired to see what we think we see.
Windy
So Zeta made her way across North Carolina. Our freshly raked yard is a mess of leaves and pine needles.
Too windy for a safe horse ride, so we did horse anatomy with oil pastels.
I absolutely love children’s artsy souls!
Horse Sketch
No reference, just a feeling.
Watercolor sketch:
En Plein Air
This morning I headed out to the barn to sketch en plein Air!
I set up in the shade. Horses are difficult to draw. Lots of proportions and shading to get right.
When sketching, I’m mostly interested in capturing a gesture.
I worked with oil pastels and sumi ink:
Taking the Bate
Spoken word dangles
A bit of fodder for mind
You don’t take the bate.
Art Prescription: have you ever been tested!? When you know someone is trying to get you to take the bate?
Do you realize when others cross boundaries due to their issues?
Relationships are challenging. I really just want to cruise down the middle lane….
Close-Up May 11, 2017
Window to the soul
A place you gaze when in love
Where you find the truth.
Art Prescription: I did this sketch one night in bed. Added colored pencil just now.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Winter Rain January 17, 2017
Clouds like wet cotton
Hang over grey winter sky
It threatens to rain.
Art Prescription: Playing around with all sorts of things!!
Watercolor, acrylic, alcohol ink, collage 8 x 8:
Bedtime Sketch August 23, 2016
Sketching in the bed
My pen trails off into sleep
Next day, add color.
Art Prescription: I did this pen and ink sketch last night in a sleepy state. Today I went back in and added colored pencil. Some folks read to sleep…I draw!
8 1/2 x 11 pen and ink and colored pencil
Perspective July 21, 2016
Alone in the field
I feel small and listen for
Wisdom of horses.
Art Prescription: “Take it to the horses,” she said. Take it to the horses, and take a shower, and then think about life. Thank you Deborah!
I spent a couple of hours sketching en plein air today. Ink on index cards:
