A fall dream weaver

Work of spun art in hay room

What does your web catch?

Art Prescription: So if your web catches ease with a focus on gratitude and all the good things in your life… what do you weave? If your web catches stress and always looking for things to go wrong…what do you weave?

So like this spider who weaves her best web ever, can you expect good things to happen? Can you get away from the spider next door who says, “we won’t catch anything, it’s useless.”

Weave your web with joy and good things will come…

Barefoot Days September 30, 2016

Flip-flap of bare feet

Last day of September now

Trees full of black birds.

Art Prescription: As the birds fly south for winter, children spend their final days running in bare-feet. Soon they will need a jacket and gloves. I love the changing of seasons. Like life everything ebbs and flows.

Fall meditation

Morning walk, collection, gifts

From nature’s bearings.

Art Prescription: Who doesn’t love a collection? Eyes to the ground on my morning walk, I found much to collect and arrange.

Love Notes September 27, 2016

September 27, 2016September 27, 2016 / beverlydyer / 8 Comments

All about romance

You leave a hidden love note

For them to find love.

Art Prescription: After 25 years of marriage I still love a hand-written note from my husband! Even if its “put the clothes in the dryer.” In this day of digital communications a piece of paper with hand-writing speaks to our hearts. We see the individual and their hand, different for every person in the world, like fingerprints.

She sits on the pier

Overlooks her cove, the sea

Comes and goes with tides.

Art Prescription: The seagulls were of course charming…Playing with crayons, so fun!! Try it! Watercolor background and then crayon sketching.

Still wet from the rain

Cut delicate pink roses

Adorn a glass vase.

Art Prescription: Oh how I will miss being able to go out into the garden for freshly cut flowers.

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.

No Gas September 19, 2016

At the fifth station

I waited in line for gas

We take for granted.

Art Prescription: Lots of people are going to wake up tomorrow and realize something they take for granted, filling up their gas tank, may not be available to them. I find this a startling event and one that makes me realize how vulnerable we all are.
