Travel with no map?

Set sail without a compass?

Yep! An art journey!

Art Prescription:  I figure it takes me about 3 to 4 days to get into the zone. The zone of painting with abandonment…no thoughts what-so-ever about the finished product. It’s all about the journey. Watercolor, pastel, not working, sprayed it with the hose!! Yep, the hose. Drip dry. While still wet, ran my fingers through the paint, and then got my pink spray paint out. And this is as far as I got. Thinking a bird silhouette will finish it off.

Haiku April 16, 2013 Hope

Hope is the thing with

Feathers. Did Emily know

How we would need this?

Art Prescription:  I’m working through my grief and helplessness over the recent tragedies. Though I try to be positive here on the Art Prescription, I also want to be genuine. My work today is an expression of this…be well…My chop, hand-made in China, says “Hope.”

Haiku April 5, 2013 Rhythm of Life

/ beverlydyer / Leave a comment

Water feels like silk

Relish the quiet, just swim

Rhythm of the pool.

Art Prescription:  Loud people and places drain me. After a while of sensory overload I feel you could bounce a quarter off my skin. The perfect antidote to re-balance myself is a swim! The steady strokes and silence of the water soothes my nervous system. And of course – expressive art journaling!

just be you
