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…
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
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!
Has your address changed?
Some wander, blown about, seeds
Others grow deep roots.
Art Prescription: It’s good to know where your heart is.
Bugs, travel, Paris
Retro romantic notion
Next, New York City!
Art Prescription: Although this piece is not done, I thought I would share it. Since I’ve no flowers in my garden I have to find inspiration elsewhere. I’ve always had a thing for old cars…so this is a start of a new series!! Vrooooommmm! Shall I paint the sky a light blue?
Cold snap, air crisp, dry
Winter pushes fall aside
Butterflies flee south.
Art Prescription: The weather is making a shift this week. I’ve not put a single bulb in!
Purple mountain range
Bright waves of pink and orange
Follow the sunset.
Travel with a book
With your imagination
Or pack bags and go!
Art Prescription: Some people love to travel and others are home-bodies. A “vacation” is necessary for your mind, body, and spirit. How do you get away?
Her yellow suitcase
Is packed thanks to the cosmos
Wait, the sunflower!
Art Prescription: I adore watching the bees hover around my garden filling their pollen pouches with yellow gold. They get so loaded down, and yet they move on to the next bloom and the next…clearly inebriated! New wedding invitation designs!
Countdown to Surtex
So I dig, plant annuals
Get myself grounded.
Art Prescription: I leave in a couple of days for Surtex in New York. I’m both excited and nervous. I’ve done this show a few times, but every year it all feels new. Along with Surtex is the National Stationery Show, the Contemporary Furniture Show, and this year an arts and crafts section which I’m thrilled to see. I do love home though, so today I worked a bit planting my garden so I have peace to come back to!
Wheels drop, plane descends
Like cows going to the barn
We all rush for home!
Art Prescription: “Parting is such sweet sorrow.” Nice to visit! Rich to be home! A sketchbook is the perfect remedy for a delayed flight…
