Fresh Basil July 16, 2014

Freshly washed by rain

Nothing compares, sweet basil

For corn succotash.

Art Prescription:  The scent of basil after a good summer rain is intoxicating. So I brought some inside to add to my fresh corn off-the-cob and tomato succotash. 

Part of my mission for the Art Prescription is to encourage others to create. Keep an art journal, paint, or sketch. I’m developing some materials you can use in your next mix-media project available in my shop https://www.etsy.com/shop/beverlydyer?ref=l2-shopheader-name

Mid-July humid

Morning walk, cicadas whirl

Sweat tickles my back.

Art Prescription:  The joys of summer are vast. Morning walks are one of them. A brisk gate before the sun beams down with her stinging rays. 

I’m working on an Art Prescription Kit with assorted collage papers and instructions for some art journaling pages!

An artist’s tool box

Brushes, palette knives, scissors

A finger painting!

Art Prescription:  Art Prescription group today in my studio. Our project was to start a painting, and then paint over it, and over it again. The process of letting go what was there before. And then finally to cut that painting up into pieces and see what emerges…stories, tales.

Soft, scented, clean sheets

New purple summer night-gown

Simple-life diva.

Art Prescription:  It doesn’t take much for me to feel like a princess. A day in the sun, pulling weeds optimal, time in my studio, a cat purr, long walks with my hubby. Blessed!

Fruit, vegetables.
