At the gates of fall
Thousands of Queen Anne’s Lace seeds
Await departure.
Art Prescription: Hike at Mason Farm…fall is making her way in. Lots of wildflowers have gone to seed. And so the life-cycle continues.

From atop her perch
Sharp eyed, she supervises
The harvest of corn.
Art Prescription: Perhaps the ScareCrow is gone and it’s feast time.
Vines grew and wound up
Anything they could find to
Help them meet the sun.
Art Prescription: Busy, busy RN day…needed a little dose of Art Prescription for myself.
College and pen and ink on index card.
As she walks gulls laugh
And take off over the sea
Waves curl onto shore.
Art Prescription: Pen and ink and colored pencil on index card.
She walked, scarf in wind
Down the quiet beach to home
Ocean solitude.
Art Prescription: Watercolor, pen and ink and colored pencil…dang trying to get that umbrella right gave me a fit.
The leaves on a stem
Branching of a winter tree
An uncurling fern.
Art Prescription: And the butterfly knows where to go…
Watercolor and pen and ink on watercolor paper.
A pretty cute crowd
Small nest in a fern basket
Move over, my worm!
Art Prescription: Discovered this nest when eggs were laid. Now spying on the biddies.
Index card with pen and ink and colored pencil:
Outside my window
Hummingbirds play, drink nectar
From lush, sweet, flowers.
Art Prescription: Where did July go?
Hi Art Prescription friends. I have a treat for you today. Meet Charlie O’Shields of doodlewash – adventures and misadventures in watercolor sketching. Charlie is from Kansas City, Missouri, and you wouldn’t know it to look at his watercolor paintings, but he just began working in watercolor about a month ago. He says, ” I started this blog by trying to capture little bits of my world in ink and watercolor after a 20 year hiatus from sketching and absolutely no experience in watercolor until now. So the results have varied. A lot. But that’s all part of the fun! And I’m meeting many wonderful people on this journey.”
Like the Art Prescription, Charlie seems to be on a mission to encourage people to make art! He finds creativity to be a potent remedy for stress. Charlie and I both lean towards watercolor. If you put some water and color down on a clean white sheet of paper you will have fun!!
His advise, “even if you don’t consider yourself an artist or have never dared to doodle before. Trust me… you can do it too. We are all artists when we make something new. So, I’m inviting you to grab a brush and join me! Let’s all make some doodlewashes together!”
On his blog he has a page for “Making a Doodlewash: What you’ll need to get started”
Here’s a link to Charlie’s blog http://doodlewash.com/category/doodlewashes/
I hope you will hop over and take a visit and be inspired to make your own Doodlewash! I am! Thanks Charlie!
Cheers,
Beverly

A fresh cornfield with black crows
Velvet shine, feathers.
