Red, white, and blue day
Parades, flags, dogs with ribbons
Now fire up the grill!
Art Prescription: On this Independence Day I’m making a delicious dish from India! Home-made garam-masala! Grilled eggplant…etc. We live a rich life with an abundance of everything at our finger-tips. I am thankful!!
Between the thunder
Sweet satisfaction of sun
Round raindrops glisten.
Art Prescription: Here in NC we’ve had a deluge of storms. Seems for days thunder has been rumbling. So when the sun came out today, I rushed off to the pool to get some laps in!! Satisfaction comes in many forms, and I’m super excited to announce the launch of my new checks, checkbooks, and address labels!! http://new.checkadvantage.com/beverly-dyer-bio
In the summer marsh
The centipede plays rhythm
Frogs sing harmony!
Art Prescription: With all the rain we have had, most creeks and wetlands are abundant with creatures. The sounds of nature amuse me! There is a story in each moment.
Like a teddy bear
Cat creeps up between my arms
Whiskers tickle face.
Art Prescription: Soft velvet ears and a love to be petted defines my cats. There is always someone to cuddle with. A simple pleasure is to lie down for a mid-day rest and have a furry being join you. Mind-you there is no sleep involved, because petting and/or marching on pillows is in high order. Just the same it’s wonderful!!
Bees buzz around Balm
Showy patch side studio
Hummingbirds zip by!
Art Prescription: Today instead of a painting, thought I’d share the view around my studio. I can look out my windows and see closeups of bees and hummers feeding from tall, red Bee Balm.
Comfort zone, structure
Rules to live by, rituals.
One step out, now LIVE!
Art Prescription: I’m guilty of being ritualistic, creature of habit. Worse with age, oh dear!! BUT, the thing I love most about watercolor is it’s ability to not be controlled. The medium itself, allows me to smear, splatter, wash, blend, and just watch the magic of what happens on the page. Art journaling is the perfect place to step outside your comfort zone!!
White gardenia
Like a bouquet of fine wine
Complex, delicate.
Art Prescription: In celebration of Summer Solstice!! Backyard joy!
In just one second
Life can change, a new pathway
New growth and new skills!
Art Prescription: Life is an ongoing learning curve where we learn to adjust our sails!! You are stronger than you think you are!!
Big, red, ripe, juicy
Fresh produce, farm to market
Tomato sandwich!
Art Prescription: Summer means juicy, sun-ripened tomatoes. I know there is a lot of argument out there with how to appropriately build a tomato sandwich. Some are strictly BLT advocates…and yes this is a good option. Others say mayonnaise is the essential makings of a tomato sandwich. Me. I’m a purist. Just a freshly sliced tomato on bread and I can taste the sun.
Cozy studio
Steady rain pelts roof, trees sway
A moment…deep sigh.
Art Prescription: Watching the rain fall, while I’m cozy and dry inside my studio is very peaceful. It’s the place where my dreams get to play!
