Sleigh bells ring are you
Listening, and hoping for
A beauty queen’s wish?
Art Prescription: World Peace…
Abstract

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.

Quintessential
Soft red velvet holiday
The poinsettia.
Watercolor

A holiday wreath
Holly, mistletoe berries
Winter greenery.
Art Prescription: All of our holiday rituals are steeped in deep seasonal patterns and historical roots. Hundreds of years ago people collected greenery in December and made them into decor to lighten the winter home. Wreaths have multiple meanings as we complete a full calendar year…a circle.
Watercolor pencils on index card:

Modern horsewomen
Give themselves away, first glance
All with their aura.
Art Prescription: So I recently went with a friend of mine to a psychic camp-fire. It was interesting. Before I went I was talking with a friend and told him I would not mention anything about horses. He said, “She will know.”
Playfully I got to thinking what is it that might give us modern horsewomen away?
I would love you to add to my list! Even if your passion is something other than horses. Please add what you find so joyful this holiday season!!
Cheers,
bev

Bright holiday lights
Warm our cozy home with cheer
Tree and Menorahs.
Art Prescription: The holidays are celebrated in many ways. Really it’s all about lighting our homes with love!
Index card sketch:

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…
Watercolor

A cold front moves in
Temperatures plumet down
Tropics in my mind.
Art Prescription: Plumeria watercolor and pen and ink:

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!!
