One of my favourite blogs is artpresciption.com by Beverly Dyer, an artist who works with acrylic, watercolour and mixed media. She is also a Certified Botanical Illustrator. I am always intrigued by her unique style. Beverly was so kind to offer her lovely work to me for some poetic inspiration.

Awake I am rooted

Tethered, duty bound

Muffled by the fog

In dreams I drift

Turquoise, featherweight

Mellowed by earth’s song

The wind took my words

To cradle, now churning

Twisting and turning

Filtered the facts

Flicked lies at my back

S t r e t c h e d and sizeable

Unrecognizable

The wind took my words

purple-wildflower-meadow

If I could take the blue of you

And blend it with the mauve of me

I think that somehow we would be

A garden made in heaven

Resistant at first
The trees acquiesce to fall
Let the show begin.

Art Prescription: Acrylic on paper.

Leaves gather on ground

Float on by, hit my windshield

And it’s still ninety.

Art Prescription: Fall comes in subtle.

Who? September 14, 2016

Who have you become
Underneath that label, now
Rediscovery.

Art Prescription: We have all experienced labels. She’s this, he’s that. Then we try harder to be something! Something better? Peer pressure is so hard. What if we all could shine from the inside out? Then that stutter or weak leg wouldn’t matter, because all others could see was your glow.

A peek of pure hope
Anxious to blossom now
Into new chapter.

Art Prescription: Life is full of milestones, events, turning points, and revelations. How the next chapter goes can be honored with healthy boundaries. Love and respect do have boundaries. A good thought going into the holidays.

Present at sunrise
And again at a sunset
A full complete day.

Art Prescription: Could you ask for anything more?

Fresh Basil September 11, 2016

Warm September sun
Beats down on shoulders, trail ride
Freshly cut basil.

Art Prescription: As America remembers 9/11, I’m immensely grateful for my life and the simple goodness of the day. Rest in peace lost souls. Each of us remember where we were when this changed the course of history.

Homecoming September 10, 2016

And in that moment
In the eyes of this being
She knew she was home.

Art Prescription: A house makes a place to live. The life in and around your house make it home.

Blue Rocks September 9, 2016

End of the south shore
A fishermen’s cove, Blue Rocks
Ice-cream in a shack.

Art Prescription: We ended our tour of the south shore of Nova Scotia in a cove with blue rocks. Picturesque is an understatement. Ice-cream in a renovated fish-shack filled with art! Yes I am coming home with a sweet watercolor framed in wood and lichen from the wharf.
