Farm Cure January 15, 2014

Warm sun hits my back

Barn cat slithers by for strokes

Roosters crow next door.

Art Prescription:  I went out to Blue Skies of Mapleview farm today for some soul restoration. Sitting under the big blue sky with horses soothes my restless spirit. Took my sketchbook.

Guests on Earth January 11, 2014

Wild horses couldn’t

Drag me away from my world

We are all guests here.

Art Prescription:  Sadly another dear furry friend left us, Lily. Peace be with her family.

My husband Sam, also wrote a haiku. These two cats were part of our lives and will be missed.

Ship sets sail and fades
Toward horizon, lost from view
Arrived to new plane

In memorium:
Lilly and Roo

Down on the Farm December 18, 2013

Down on the horse farm

Fresh air and work and horse pets

Body works, mind rests.

Art Prescription:  Went out to the farm today to work…farm work…get dirty, use your muscles, wear high boots work!! And I loved it. Reward…grooming a couple of dirty winter coats, and taking in the senses that is a farm!!

Flock of Geese October 25, 2013

Geese float in the sun

Soon to gather on shore and

Take flight in a V.

Art Prescription:  As the sun heads down, the geese on the pond take in the last remaining rays. They wade around, seemingly not doing. Then as if choreographed, they move to line up on shore and take off forming the classic V shaped flight pattern.  I’ve heard that geese stick together. If one goose goes down, the others go down until they know that the flock must go on. My work with horses is like that. The good of the herd is of up-most importance.

Day at the Farm October 23, 2013

Who let the girls out?!?

Two mares gallop cross pasteur

And the boys go wild!

Art Prescription:  Spent a grand day at the farm…grooming, admiring, riding, sketching…bliss!! Horses have interesting angles and I’m finding them a challenging and phenomenal subject. Observing them is Zen.
