All is quiet now
The shoppers are home, gifts wrapped
Village green is calm.
Art Prescription: Whatever you are celebrating this season, I wish you good health and contented days!
Cheers,
Beverly

Secret Santa December 23, 2016
One horse open sleigh
O’re the hills, Secret Santa
Dashing through the snow.
Art Prescription: So my horse Finn, today, told it like it is! Santa used to go about his big night with a huge horse-drawn sleigh. But the neigh- sayers and disbelievers said, “Flying horses? Next thing you will believe in Unicorns!” So Santa down-sized to reindeers, who were much lighter on the foot. A bonus up on roof-tops!
But, Finn tells me that the eve before Christmas Eve…Santa likes to venture out with his herd! It is truly a silent night, where horse’s hooves jingle, sending magic sparkles like fireworks across the land.
Finn says Santa landed on the barn and left an ornament for each horse beside their bridles.
After such excitement, the horses lazily returned to their hay…Secret Santa intact.

Dogs in Cars December 18, 2016
Looks like passenger
Dogs in cars, head out window
Or wet nose on glass.
Art Prescription: It tickles me to see dogs in cars. They are such exuberant riders…so excited to be going anywhere…just happy to be with their owner.

Bare Branches December 9, 2016
Fall color has left
Winter grey and bare branches
Line the wooded fields.
Art Prescription: And I find them beautiful and soft and quiet. Winter is the Yin season. Time to go within and seek fulfillment of the heart. What is your heart asking of you? Are you listening…

Do Over II December 7, 2016
Flamingoes came back
A second studio stroll
Dancing on water.
Art Prescription: I returned to my flamingoes again this morning. This time I planned my compositions for a paired painting. I started with a sketch to make sure I liked my placement of each bird, then did a very watery background. I took my time building up color on each bird, and finally added watery reflections. I’m happy with these paintings!!
