To get your horse straight

Sometimes you need to circle

And circle again.

Art Prescription: I had a tough horse lesson with Cowboy Jim today.

As with all of life, most of the time we need to stick with the basics, ask softer (whether a horse or human), deliver a consistent message, build trust, gain respect, and say Thank You often!

Thank You Cowboy Jim!

Birds of a feather

Flock together and migrate

Rhythm of nature.

Art Prescription: It’s a good time of year to see migrating warblers.

Abstract feathers with watercolor:

A country bouquet

Gathered right out-side your door

Tall meadow grasses.

Art Prescription: With a piece of grass in my teeth… guess y’all figured I’m a country girl.

These little wildflower bouquets make me happy to paint. And I found some really cute distressed frames to set them off.

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.
