Ugh…. the cold winter rain here in NC is ongoing! Temperatures hover around freezing, but no pretty snow, just wet!!!
I’m working on a cute little bird journal:
Rain and more rain
bird watching
Visitor
Just then she was there
Perched in a dogwood, hunting
Swooped up in a pine.
Art Prescription: I love when I feel visited by Mother Nature. Today on my walk I spent some time visiting with a hawk.
I think a Red-shouldered Hawk.
Home Sweet Home
Hi guys!!
I’m home from the beach and our house had spotty reception. Not a bad thing for vacation I suppose.
I did post daily on Instagram.
This morning I did a grandson and grandmother (social distancing) art class in my backyard. What fun!
Hope you all are staying healthy and creative as our changed world moves forward.
Cheers,
Bev

Instinct May 17, 2017
Pure instinct, the flight
The wave of wing to his mate
And the nest begins.
Art Prescription: My chickadee batch fledged. And now a pair of blue birds are claiming the box. I adore seeing them messaging each other with subtle wing waves.

Her nest just perfect.

New Years Eve Walk December 31, 2016
Leaves shiver in breeze
Cool, grey, wintry, cloudy, sky
Fluffy birds huddle.
Art Prescription: I can’t think of a better way to end the year than a nature walk with my sketchbook and my love. Just us and our footsteps together for a 25th New Years Eve. Our lives are blessed and happy, and my wish for everyone is to find the simple beauty of each and every day. Oh yea, and make some art! Here’s to 2017!

For yellow goldfinch.
Art Prescription: I so enjoy hearing the sweet sound of the goldfinches coming for thistle.
