Pure tropical gold
Fresh pineapple, sweet, tangy
Melts in your mouth good!
Art Prescription: Every time I buy and cut a fresh pineapple I am amazed at this luscious fruit. Fresh fruits and vegetables are perfect art studies that you can then EAT!

Haiku July 23, 2013 In Her Prime
The bloom, in her prime
Stood out as a tall beauty
Delicate petals.
Art Prescription: I find enormous pleasure watching the life cycle of flowers. It’s a build up of anticipation waiting for the bloom! Then bees and butterflies, in love with color, greedily ascend. As the flower begins to fade, the delicate structure remains beautiful.
Haiku July 19, 2013 Homemade Pickles
Vinegar, water,
Sugar, spices, red onion
Garlic, yellow squash!!
Art Prescription: Trying my hand at some “refrigerator pickles.” I went to a demo at our local farmer’s market and it looked fun and simple.
July 18, 2013 Coffee and Cream
Wake-up juice, java
Rich, smooth morning enjoyment
Brown-gold coffee beans!
Art Prescription: It is really the small things! Pen and ink sketch-doodle…

Haiku July 13, 2013 Pieces of Life
Life is a puzzle
At times all the pieces fit
At times parts are lost.
Art Prescription: So what do you do on those days where things just don’t seem to fit together? What can you do to shift your mood to something better? Exercise, art, music, cook, pets…name your remedy! Please share!
Haiku July 10, 2013 Farmer’s Market
Farmer’s market stars
A bucket of zinnias
Steal the summer show!
Art Prescription: Went to a “refrigerator pickling” demo today at the local farmer’s market. Good things to come from that!! And the zinnias stole my eye!
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 8, 2013 Spiragira!
Sun spiragira
Intricate patterns emerge
Rings of rays blossom,
Art Prescription: Did you know the “petals” of the sunflower are not true petals? The true flowers are the tiny rays that form the amazing spiral design on the head of a sunflower and many other “ray” flowers. Here’s another watercolor pencil sketch, finished with a quick big brush of water.
