Seconds of my life
Click by on the microwave
Quick grits are ready!
Art Prescription: And let’s remember each small thing. Lucky to have hot grits with butter, even if I did eat them standing up between patients. A bite here, ooh that’s hot, a bite there, more butter? What do elephants and grits have to do with one another? Hot grits…cute critter with flowers…TGIF y’all!

Salvia hot lips
Salvia microphylla
Fever reducer
Flock of wild turkeys
Gather in field, they do not
Wish they were peacocks.
Art Prescription: So your neighbor has decked the halls and baked (home-made) a holiday cookie batch to sin for. Meanwhile you say the mantra “less is more, less is more.” And actually you are okay with that. You watch as the cardinal steals a sunflower seed from the nuthatch, and you sigh…life is good…life is really good.
Watercolor 8 1/2 x 11
While woods grow gray, cold
Summer lives on in my mind
Roses in full bloom.
Art Prescription: As the fall color is fading my imagination takes me back to summer.
8 x 8 watercolor, acrylic, and alcohol (ha!) ink
Festival of Lights
Miracles…everyone
We are all just one.
Art Prescription: Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish homes and friends.
Index card with collage:
Neighborhood lights up
Winter wonderland for all
Celebrate season.
Art Prescription: Come together and celebrate our sameness versus our difference…we earthly beings. Peace on earth.
Silvery cold frost
Gleams on grass, leaves, and branches
Sun revives pansies.
Art Prescription: How did pansies get their name? They are one of the only flowers that will hold up to winter’s chill and keep blooming.
Watercolor:
Winter silhouette
Cold sinks her teeth into air
Horses grow thick coats.
Art Prescription: Finn has such a thick shiny winter coat. Reassurance of how nature takes care of itself. He will be just fine on these cold wintery nights.
Index card with ink and colored pencil:
She worships the sun
Her artistic touch, sun-set
Cows bow down in awe.
Art Prescription: Doing a little reflecting.
My Prayer for today: Please Mother Earth and Father Sky let me grow old with an open mind and heart. Let me never think television is a basis for reality. Give me the continual gift of always listening to others and never thinking my point of view is always right. Bring fresh air, sun-shine, and long walks in nature into my life daily (oh and birds please). Mostly, please gift me with a positive outlook and help me find joy in the moment!! It’s a swift journey y’all! Let’s enjoy the ride!! xo, bev
Runway lights appear
Wheels drop, quiet descent down
On the ground safe…HOME!
Art Prescription: For those of you who have been following my blog for a while you know I’m a home-body. After a good visit with my husband’s family in Alabama, nothing makes me happier than to touch down in North Carolina. I’ve been flying all my life, since I was 2, since we lived in Guam and that folks is a long flight! It however always amazes me that we get on these huge man-made machines and put our total trust in other humans to get us safely to our destinations. Thank you workers of the airline industry…Thank you for bringing me HOME!!!
