White Gardenias
Sweet perfume in the garden
Petals velvet soft
Art Prescription: The scent of gardenias is unmatched. Their sweet perfume will follow you around the garden.
I did a simple pen and ink sketch on blue card stock…. just the basics, soothing.
Blossom gone to seed
Beautiful structure remains
Season at it’s end.
Art Prescription: After several busy days working on landscape commissions, I felt the need to do something simple and soothing. My coneflowers have gone to seed and I find them so beautiful. Two simple tools, a pen and pencil. Peaceful.

Shorts and tees in December
Santa needs sunscreen!!
Art Prescription: I’m not complaining as Finn and I had a lovely sunny walk (sort-of he is very interested in eating grass). However, “dashing through the snow” is highly unlikely this Christmas season.

Open studio
Warm, bright, space where I create
Welcome friends, neighbors!
Art Prescription: Today was a cold, wet, rainy day! And my friends and neighbors still came out to celebrate my open studio with me. Thanks y’all!! For those of you who live a little far off…
As soon as I leave
I want to return to this
Place where geese fly by.
Art Prescription: Meadows are my favorite spots. And a meadow with horses…well “As soon as I leave, I want to return.”

Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
