Quiet on the farm
Horses graze, content, focus
Ears perks, my presence.
Art Prescription: I love walking out into a herd of horses. I watch them notice me with curiosity. Their ears perk as their awareness shifts. Herd behavior has deep roots for these prey animals. To have them accept me and allow me to enter their space is an honor.
I’ve got your back friend
Those hard, rough places in life
I’ll be by your side.
Art Prescription: Many lessons learned on the farm. Watercolor pencil and pen and ink sketch.
Quick little hummer
Zooms up into trees, brief rest
Then back for more sweets.
Art Prescription: On my walk watching hummingbirds dive lantana. As I approached they flew up into the trees. This is another miniature art pieces. Watercolor artist trading card.
Place where time stands still
Gentle wind rolls across field
Horses graze on grass.
Art Prescription: Took my sketchbook and big old sun hat out to Blue Skies today. Took a chair and sat in the paddock, being part of the herd. So hot. They were fine to just let me be there. We know you and you are okay to hang-out with us. They stood lazy, swishing their tails against the flies, sun on their strong backs.
Parting, sweet sorrow
Goodbye my sweet Lacey horse
Thanks for the good rides.
Art Prescription: Lacey, the sweet mare I’ve been riding for about 3 months, is returning to her home farm. She is a horse a family grew up with and she is loved. Which made her lovable. I’ve enjoyed my time with her, the rides, the baths, the grooming. I’m grateful she crossed my path.
Body moves in time
Her white hips sway and sashay
By the lush corn field.
Art Prescription: A majestic trail ride this morning with Lacey! I felt we moved as one through the wooded path and around tall, lush corn stalks. Except, she cheated and took a bite out of one…don’t tale!
Yard swing, days gone by
Time to set a while, talk slow
Linger in the shade.
Art Prescription: Iconic scene. A century old farm house. An outside setting with a swing for getting together in the yard.
Steady, meadow edge
Clip, clop easy gait. Black crows
Iridescent sheen.
Art Prescription: Me, a horse, and a wildflower meadow. Slow ride in the country.
A pillar of strength
Horses, with their all knowing
Grateful for the ride.
Art Prescription: I rode Lacey today at Blue Skies of Mapleview. She is so sweet…oh dear…heart tug! On a whim, I stopped by another local horse barn. There I met Victoria, a beautiful girl, and her owner. I did a brush painting of her, trying to capture her strong features and gorgeous lines.
Rose grows empty lot
Her red blooms tell a story
An era gone by.
Art Prescription: We are all planting seeds. Some we will see grow and flourish, and others we will leave behind for the future. Plant well my friend…
