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!

Spa Day
Rain drums on tin roof
Smell of wet hay rises, breeze
Trees sway in the wind.
Art Prescription: Horse lessons were rained out. Much pampering was done.

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:

July
July heat beats down
Took an early morning ride
Cool spray for my Finn.
Art Prescription: I got to the barn about 8:30. The heat magnified by the hour.
Finn got a cool spray off from hose. Oh that felt so good!
Bought a set of oil pastels at the Scrap Exchange. Played with some sketching..,
