Thanks for your kind words blog friends!! I’m blessed to have this therapist in my life! He knows just what I need.
A little groundwork
A little bareback riding
Big juicy apple!
One Day at a Time
horse love
Basic Needs
Not a minutes rest
The New Year ticks up and on
Busy as ever!!!
Art prescription: My Etsy shop keeps me busy. And winter chores at the farm which I love.
Holidays
Winter sun catches
The very tops of bare trees
In late afternoon.
Art Prescription : Sending joy to you. Walk into the new year in the moment. And feel your pulse when your spirit is moved. Then… do more of that.
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.

Sentient Being
A merry-go-round
Breeze carries a leaf swirling
Touches down at rest
Art Prescription: My sweet Finn was amazing today. Horses are sentient beings.
We sat together and he put his muzzle on my head as if to say I know you are sad and I’m here for you.

Farrier, dentist
And a new horse to the farm
Sweat rolls down my back.
Art Prescription: A wonderfully busy day at Blue Skies today! I drove out early hoping to get their before Bodie, the new horse, arrived on a trailer. It was shaping up to be an exciting morning around the barn. Of course Max, the barn cat, was asleep with his legs dangling in the back room.
Bodie arrived and even with all the activity, he got off the trailer cool, calm, and collected. The fact that horses live in the moment is demonstrated over and over again.
So I thought we all might need an ice-cream cone:

Favorite Apple July 5, 2017
Gently takes from hand
His soft muzzle, chews, juicy
Favorite apple.
Art Prescription: I love sharing an apple with my horse Finn. I take a bite and then offer him a bite. After a ride and grooming this ritual is so nice. Good boy!!

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.

Re-worked May 6, 2017
Like the Eagle’s song
I’m pushing it to limits
With color and marks.
Art Prescription: Thinking last nights painting was a bit dull, I went back into it with color, graphite, and colored pencil. Could be just emotion…
