It’s a good life when
You live on love and fresh hay
Gallop here and there.
Good Life
horse portrait
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…
Buttercups April 20, 2017
Morning at the farm
A white horse stands in a field
Yellow buttercups.
Art Prescription: Sketch and colored pencil on an index card. Miss Ava June.
Tender Moment September 28, 2016
A mare and her foal
Tender moment by the woods
Motherly essence.
Art Prescription: Spent my morning at the farm riding Finn with my Women’s Intuitive Riding group. I always leave there floating on air, as if every worry in my world has evaporated into the ethers.
I think I’m finished with this mare and her foal. Feedback welcome…

How to hold Reins August 24, 2016
Hold reins with thumbs up
As if a glass of champagne
Bubbles rising up.
Art Prescription: Did a private lesson today on Finn! So much good stuff…gonna be sore! Can’t wait to start my Women’s Intuitive Riding!! Working on an alternative palette of colors.

Hello Nicker August 17, 2016
As soon as he heard
My voice and saw me walking
At fence and nickers.
Art Prescription: It’s so sweet and rewarding when my horse Finn meets me at the gate nickering. He is saying hello and glad to see me!
A nicker is commonly described as a companionable greeting or solicitous type of vocalization. This makes intuitive sense both because of its nature as a quiet sound, but also in the close-contact social situations in which it is typically heard: Between two friendly herdmates, between a mare and her foal, and between a stallion and a mare.
I’m so honored!
