White glow in meadow
Lilies among tall grasses
Wild Easter Lily.
Art Prescription: I’ve been seeing these beautiful lilies in the woods and meadows at Mason Farm. They are Atamasco Lily (Zephranthes atamasco) and they flourish in wetlands.
8 1/2 x 11 watercolor with my chop that says “hope”
Gentle breeze ripples
Branches with fresh young leaves sway
Steady rolling waves.
Art Prescription: How peaceful to stand under a new canopy of leaves and experience the wind.
Index card with watercolor and my chop that says “hope”
Leaves shiver in breeze
Cool, grey, wintry, cloudy, sky
Fluffy birds huddle.
Art Prescription: I can’t think of a better way to end the year than a nature walk with my sketchbook and my love. Just us and our footsteps together for a 25th New Years Eve. Our lives are blessed and happy, and my wish for everyone is to find the simple beauty of each and every day. Oh yea, and make some art! Here’s to 2017!
Sketchbook with pen and graphite:
Peck, preen, fluff, and sing
Yellow Prothonotary
Unaware of me.
Art Prescription: Sam and I went for an early hike around Mason Farm. We were rewarded!
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Birds bathe, babbling creek
Preen in warm winter sunshine
Melting snow runs south.
Art Prescription: Walked Mason Farm with my love today. There are still patches of snow on the ground, but the birds don’t mind. They hop about energetically on a brisk January day.
Index card with colored pencil, fabric, and improvisational sewing:
Sharp, bright, fall sunlight
Euphonious, crickets hum
Musical meadow.
Art Prescription: The sun is sharp these days. Once up, she burns off frosted windshields…moves on to de-thaw grass. And still the crickets hum softly in the meadow.

Hummingbirds fuel up
For their long fall migration
Lots of fall flowers.
Art Prescription: I’m still seeing hummingbirds coming to fall blooms. They won’t be around for long as they prepare for migration.
Alcohol ink:
Fall wildflowers bloom
Dot the meadows and woods for
Butterflies to feed.
Art Prescription: Hiked Mason Farm this past weekend. Beautiful wildflowers and lots of butterflies. Feeds my muse.
Here is a little drawing for you to color! You can print it off and color with your favorite art tools! Secret…I’m working on a new Art Prescription (™) adult coloring product…due out October!
Index card with pen and ink:
Running down a dream
We chase money, fame, fortune
Chance to simply bloom.
Art Prescription: To be at peace with yourself is to be at peace with others…What are we chasing? A flower plans a whole year just to bloom, if only for one day…
Mixed media…
Pioneer people
Trail blazers, carving a path
Into the future!
Art Prescription: Spent most of my day clearing a new path for horse-back riding! Beautiful day, and I can’t wait to bring Finn over to these beautiful woods.
