The creek meanders

Through the woods in an S shape

Just like the letter.

Your Own Music January 22, 2015

Her own little world

Keeps a beat to the music

Piped in through ear-buds.

Art Prescription: I enjoy seeing people keeping a beat to their own music.

Soft Voice January 21, 2015

Low, soft voice of hers

Is precisely the spirit

In the entire world.

Art Prescription: Seems to me a softer tone and touch goes a long ways. Compassion and caring…the entire world needs.

Mother nature flirts

With spring-like temperatures

Birds swoon with desire.

Art Prescription: Studio door wide open…bird song…

The ordinary thing turns

Magnificent whole.

Pioneer people

Trail blazers, carving a path

Into the future!

Art Prescription: Spent most of my day clearing a new path for horse-back riding! Beautiful day, and I can’t wait to bring Finn over to these beautiful woods.

Beyond winter trees

Lies a view unseen until

Revealed by bareness.

“The notes I handle no better than many pianists. But the pauses between the notes…ah, that is where the art resides.”

Arthur Schnabel

Greetings Art Prescription Followers!!

I took a pause from three years of daily haiku and art yesterday. A combo of busy nursing days and sneaking off to the farm to see Finn, my horse. What a beautiful way to end a week!

And it got me thinking…what would you like to see more of in 2015? I relish your comments and participation.

I started the Art Prescription as a way to be creative and find release for the stress we all face in our modern plugged in life. More than ever I find keeping an art journal to be an expressive outlet with no strings attached. It’s just a place to play with color, line, collage, paint…endless really. I’m developing Art Prescription Journal starter kits in my Etsy shop and have lots of fun ideas. My mission has always been to encourage people to live a creative life for wellness.

Here’s to your happy and creative 2015!!

Beverly
