Rummage in her bag
Smell of my grandmother’s purse
Coins for machine, gum.
Art Prescription: I bet in one sniff you remember the smell of your grandparent’s homes. The part of our brain that registers smells, olfactory, is very connected to our emotions.
Having fun with vintage patterns and maps in my art journal. https://www.etsy.com/listing/198878012/vintage-patterns-3-map-butterflies-for?
Opposites attract
Blue and orange, vibration
Up-cycle a bird.
Art Prescription: True to my own medicine I used art to get through my day. My three kitty-cats went to have dental today. Two of them had extractions….ugh. I worked with paper and did another bird to pass away the time and keep my mind from worrying.
Ephemera hunt
Auctioneer calls out numbers
I score some old maps!
Art Prescription: As you know I’m in to collage. Today I bought a “lot” of old ephemera at an auction in Hillsborough, NC. Those maps had my name on them. Great for collage, art journaling, and scrapbooking!
Bent by steady rain
Flowers take a day off from
Perfect straight posture.
Art Prescription: Worked on a paper collage of an apple today. You can see step-by-step on my Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/BeverlyDyerArt?focus_composer=true&ref_type=bookmark
What fun!!!
Collage of sounds, jazz
Improvisation, swing note
Upbeat, funk, the blues.
Art Prescription: Jazz is so interesting. I especially love when several musicians get together and just jam…playing off of each others rhythm. 3 x 5 index card mixed media – art therapy even on the busiest days! you can do it!
Bloom true and fully
Bend and grow, best face forward
Let your petals show.
Art Prescription: Each day at my RN job, I’m reminded of the preciousness of life and health. Be well, be happy, find joy everyday.
Parting, sweet sorrow
Goodbye my sweet Lacey horse
Thanks for the good rides.
Art Prescription: Lacey, the sweet mare I’ve been riding for about 3 months, is returning to her home farm. She is a horse a family grew up with and she is loved. Which made her lovable. I’ve enjoyed my time with her, the rides, the baths, the grooming. I’m grateful she crossed my path.
Hot bubblegum pink
Petunias spill outward
Wave to butterflies.
Art Prescription: This started as a watercolor pencil sketch in my garden on mixed-media paper. Then I took it into my studio and washed it down with water. I added watercolor loosely over pencil strokes and then spattered a bit! FUN!
Goddess of July
Rays of silk, golden, yellow
Flower of the sun.
Art Prescription: My hubby brought me flowers. It still thrills me! As I arranged these sunflowers, I knew I had to capture them in paint. Did a loose watercolor today…will see if it’s done tomorrow, or if I want to detail.
Fashion and beauty
Your external expression
Does not define you.
Art Prescription: Long, lived day. Woke early, coffee (Facebook, yep), walk, swim, read, and then went to Scrap Exchange. This place is plundering heaven…junk galore…paper extravagansa.
Great finds for art journaling! I bought a $3.00 bag of mixed papers and found lots of vintage patterns.
