Galloping Horses September 25, 2013

A herd of horses

Come thundering across field

Majestic beauties!

Art Prescription:  Watching Deborah Pearson-Moyers (http://www.blueskiesmapleview.us/aboutus.htm) call her herd of horses and see them galloping across the field for breakfast is simply a moment of pure magic! They were not visible out in the pasture, but her voice had them come over the ridge of the field in one big thundering group. She said, “Listen to that!” Yep she loves it! Me too!

Fall Meadow September 21, 2013

The corn fields been plowed

Tall brownish stalks bend to ground

Asters fill meadows.

Art Prescription:  Another day in the country. Went and helped paint barns at the farm where I’m riding horses. Then walked with hubby at Mason Farm, our favorite place. The wildflowers are plenty. Started a painting…stay tuned for tomorrow…I’ll finish!!

Warm velvet soft nose

Smell of fresh hay and cut grass

Afternoon horse barn.

Art Prescription:  There is just something about being around horses. Their warm brown eyes and soft ears, majestic musculature, swishy tails, the smell of leather, and a historic relationship. We’ve long been bound to these creatures.

Haiku June 15, 2013 Country Lane

Ride to the country.

Urban sprawl, once rich farm fields,

Tobacco, corn, soy.

Art Prescription:  We took a day trip down to our very good friend’s “country house.” The old homestead is close to where my grandmother used to live, so a bit of a drive down country lane. What used to be rows and rows of crop is now rows and rows of houses and apartments. Once you are out far enough the familiar fields begin to stretch across the blue, cloudless sky. I love seeing meadows with ponds and horses, cows grazing, and old red barns!

Haiku December 6, 2012 Compassion

Compassion:  to walk

A brief time in other’s shoes

Give of time and heart.

Art Prescription:  The holiday season brings out extremes in feelings. At any given point in life you or I may respond differently to a world where “everyone else seems normal.” No matter what holiday you celebrate, there is bound to be some roller-coaster of emotions. The perfect gift, time and heart!
