Wake up pure silly

Neither asleep nor awake

A dream-like vision.

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.

Wild irises grow

On the edge of country pond

Baby ducks waddle.

Art Prescription: An evening walk around our neighborhood pond…relaxing. And I see a duck with 10 ducklings trailing behind her. I hope to get some sketches of this fowl family. For now, the purple wild irises hold my attention. Pen and ink in sketchbook.

Wetland habitat

Turtles lined up on swamp logs

Osprey tends her brood.

Art Prescription: A bird watching hike to Tobacco Road Trail. The trail head is near Jordan Lake wetlands. Lots to see there…and in my own backyard. Sketchbook…pen and ink.

Climbing Clematis

Weaves fragile tendrils around

Sending blooms to top!

Art Prescription: There is something mesmerizing about vines. How they know to wrap and weave their way to get to where they are going. Wish my path was so clear…

Rise up out of leaves

Delicate Quaker Ladies

April in the woods.

Small town atmosphere

Kids, dogs, Saturday shoppers

Work hard and play hard.

Art Prescription: I did an art show today in Hillsborough, NC. What a picture perfect day. Sunshine, breeze, and people enjoying being a part of their neighborhood. One couple bought a piece they are taking to England. A young woman bought several pieces for her new home in Efland, NC, and another who is engaged to be married, picked up 3 works for her anticipated new life in Kansas! Lovely to meet my customers and see my art find homes!
