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!

Perspective July 21, 2016
Alone in the field
I feel small and listen for
Wisdom of horses.

Crickets April 24, 2015
Field crickets chirp, court
Call out for a female mate
Wind carries their song.
Art Prescription: Ending my week sitting in the middle of a field with horses and crickets. Most of the song you hear from crickets are the males serenading the females…sound familiar? And it’s their wings that make the sound not their legs. Beautiful to just sit and listen to the breeze, a couple of cardinals, sounds of horses chomping grass, and a distant caw of crows.
