An art journal kit

Beautiful color, pattern

For vision making.

Art Prescription: My vision is to create beautiful paper goods for art journaling, collage, scrapbooking, vision boarding.

I’ve listed some hand-painted butterflies in my Etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/beverlydyer

Corn is eight feet tall

Field grass is above my knees

Big green grasshoppers.

Art Prescription: We started off on a trail ride only to find that the field was so grown up we couldn’t see our way forward.

Beautiful and not where you want to be on horseback.

Home to try and sketch backyard birds, boy is it hard to draw something moving.

All in all a wonderful day.

Sketchbook:

A story with words

And images cut and torn

What’s your vision?

Art Prescription: I went to a Vision Board workshop today.

Here’s my creation:

Monarch lays an egg

Ironweed draws swallowtails

August in garden.

Art Prescription: Went sketching today with my favorite field partners! And boy are they good at finding stuff, like a Saddleback Caterpillar.

Watercolor pencil with a water brush (favorite new tool, you must try it) and pen and ink.

Taking it all in

Late summer wings and flowers

Fall waiting for turn.

Art Prescription: Each season has beauty. I do have to pause to admire all things summer.

Watercolor and watercolor pencil… is she done? May need a few details with fresh eyes.

Home-based business

Packaging department help

Best selling dog card.

Art Prescription: Running a home-based business has its challenges. And joys.

Out the door, yoga

Corner of my eye spots wings

Of new butterflies.

Art Prescription: Three of my four chrysalises opened to butterflies this morning. This process has me mesmerized.

Pass by dairy farm

Cows graze on rolling green hills

Stand and stare at me.

Art Prescription: what are they thinking? Sweet faces all in a row.

Watercolor with pencil, ink, watercolor pencil:

Searching for true life

Leaves begin to float in air

Life cycle goes on.

Art Prescription: Still hot, but the hope of fall and cooler weather is in the air.

Art journal:

Front porch roses sketch

Thunder storms move in from west

Adirondack chairs.

Art Prescription: Lovely day, hiked Mason Farm this morning. Quiet, except for the cicadas and mosquitos!!

Home to sit on our front porch.

Watercolor pencil sketch then brushed with a water-brush! Fun!
