Down a country lane
Past cedar fences and fields
Cows graze, roosters crow!
Art Prescription: Take a drive in the country!

Haiku July 30, 2013 Almost August
Certain change in light
Early eve hum of crickets
Is almost August.
Art Prescription: Junk mail journal page!
Haiku July 28, 2013 Index Card Art
Studio feline
Marks me as his while I paint
Stretches on wool rug.
Art Prescription: My black house cat Matisse meows from sun-up to sun-down. High maintenance, but I love him dearly. This afternoon I took him with me out to my studio. He didn’t say a word!! Meandered around, slinking by my ankles and stretching out on my rug. I think he knew he was in sacred space. (and had me all to himself, spoiled) A follower of mine introduced me to index card art… thanks http://girlunwinding.wordpress.com/
Haiku July 26, 2013 Best Friends
Afternoon lesson
Side by side they learn to swim
Best friends forever!
Art Prescription: Isn’t it amazing when you stop and think how long you have been friends with someone.! Talk about history…treasured.
Haiku July 16, 2013 Ménage à trois
Menage a trois show
A choreographed wing act
Delicate magic!
Art Prescription: When I stepped around to my path to my studio, three beautiful swallowtails were dancing around my pink Echinacea. It was like magic. I’d love to paint this…for now a capture.
Haiku July 15, 2013 Horses
Warm velvet soft nose
Smell of fresh hay and cut grass
Afternoon horse barn.
Art Prescription: There is just something about being around horses. Their warm brown eyes and soft ears, majestic musculature, swishy tails, the smell of leather, and a historic relationship. We’ve long been bound to these creatures.
Haiku July 9, 2013 Loneliness
Loneliness is not
Being only flower bud
But failure to bloom.
Art Prescription: The garden is ripe with buds and blooms and it occurs to me that to make a garden whole it takes many elements. The rain, the sun, the soil, birds, bees, and the instinctual element of life growing on despite any adversary. A tree fallen by a storm, will only grow upward with new branches. We humans get so attached to this one short life we live. If you relish in nature’s messages, you will be at peace with the whole. Four winds, Bev
Haiku July 5, 2013 Sexy Nature
Virginia creeps
Wraps her young tendrils around
Lazy summer stretch.
Art Prescription: Go out into the garden and see what story is waiting for you there.
Haiku June 30, 2013 Serendipity
Serendipity
Two paths cross, coincidence?
It all falls in place.
Art Prescription: Many times decisions are suddenly made, based on a surprising event or meeting. There are subtle clues to guide you. Other times it’s a storm, deluge really, and in an instant you just KNOW!
Haiku June 29, 2013 Content at Home
Feel content at home
Life’s ambitions surround me
Art, books, and journals.
Art Prescription: Your home tells a story about you. When you look around you should feel cozy and welcome and comforted by the things you have collected. A garden in bloom is a chapter of dirty hands and blissful spirit!
