Cozy studio
Steady rain pelts roof, trees sway
A moment…deep sigh.
Art Prescription: Watching the rain fall, while I’m cozy and dry inside my studio is very peaceful. It’s the place where my dreams get to play!

Expressive Arts Journaling Workshop
DATE Saturday, June 22
TIME 10:00 am – noon
INSTRUCTOR Bev Dyer, Professional Artist & Nurse
A journal is a fun, creative tool and provides a safe place for you to explore and grow. Creativity in any form is healing, can boost our immune system, relieve stress, and increase our “good” brain chemicals. Join Beverly Dyer to explore mixed media journaling and discover the many ways to live an art-journaling lifestyle: daily journaling, sketchbook journaling, inspirational collage, travel journaling, event journaling, and of course nature journaling! No experience needed—just a willingness to be in the moment and express yourself. Your journal can be private or shared with the group.
Fee: $30 ($25 NCBG members)
Haiku June 17, 2013 Sturdy Construction
Nestled on branches
Stands test of wind and rain, proof
Sturdy construction.
Art Prescription: We have been watching a robin’s nest for a couple of weeks. When recent thunderstorms ripped through here, I worried about the nest. Proof of the builder’s determination, the nest sits strong and steady! Amazing!
Haiku June 16, 2013 Recycle
Recycled papers
Cut out like paper-dolls, make
A junk mail garden!
Art Prescription: Here’s a mate for my last “junk mail garden” piece. A fun way to recycle, cut your junk mail up into shapes and paste onto a surface. I’m using watercolor here. Paint and highlight your cut flowers, and draw some stems and leaves, and now you have a garden.
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 June 14, 2013 First Bloom
Hello Cosmo bloom
First to bust out, clouds grace sky
Pink Impatiens too!
Art Prescription: Lots of rain, lots of blooms.
Haiku June 13, 2013 Stormy
Calm after the storm
Sticks and branches litter street
All connections down.
Art Prescription: Quiet after last evenings storm. No television, and no internet…kind-of nice.
Haiku June 12, 2013 Time to Switch Hats
Many hats we wear
Many faces we put on
Many moods we feel.
Art Prescription: Human beings are complex! Can you just be you despite is all! Authentic!
Haiku June 11, 2013 Tweedle
Tweets, chirps, caws, tweedles.
Fresh out of nest, kids holler
Shake and flap for food!
Art Prescription: Seems everywhere I look I see a youngster begging for food. Diligently, the parents feed and teach, here’s how you dig for yourself.
Haiku June 10, 2013 Wedding Season
