Negative thoughts, weeds
Can wrap, wind around your heart
Suffocating growth.
Art Prescription: So I did a little gardening today…actually a lot of gardening. Seems I’ve let my weeds get a bit out of control. Natures gentle lesson to remind me to tend my thoughts. Pen and ink, watercolor pencil on watercolor paper.
Japanese garden
Cool stones, ponder in the shade
Pebbles like water.
Art Prescription: We went to the J C Raulston Arboretum today in Raleigh. Pretty place. Lots of different styled gardens. Need to go back with sketchbook. Watercolor pencil on a strip of watercolor paper.
Scars, blemishes, wounds
We all have them, our chapters,
Like trees we grow up
Art Prescription: Here is a total stress relieving piece. Colored pencil scribbled on a 3 x 5 index card. It’s really all about the process, not the end picture. Ahhhh….feel better now.
Golden Marigolds
Gather in a box, greet you
Welcome to the porch.
Art Prescription: So cheerful. 3 x 5 colored pencil and pen and ink sketch.
Eclectic vintage
Mini-garden, place to rest
Pots of flowers, herbs.
Art Prescription: I’m caring for my neighbor’
s home and sweet cat while they are away. Today I watered their garden.
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.
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!!!
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!
