Haiku September 1, 2013 Art Gift

Garden art fairy

Sketches and paints for shear bliss

A gift to stranger.

Art Prescription:  I went to the North Carolina Botanical Gardens today to field sketch. Using pen and ink and watercolor pencils, I worked on 3 x 5 index cards. And as I finished one I gave it to the first person who came by.

Haiku August 28 All Is Well

Aware of subtle

Shift in light, songs of crickets

All is well, all is…

Art Prescription:  I love the subtle nuances of each day as the season begins to shift. In an effort to spread good vibes, I’m giving away a couple of index card pieces a week. They can be used to stick in your mates lunch, pin to your desk space, or send to a friend. They are so fun and I hope to share this pick-me-up art! Join me on Facebook to win https://www.facebook.com/BeverlyDyerArt

all is well

Time is a Thief August 23, 2013

Evaporation

Into thin air! Where’s summer?

Time, she is a thief!

Art Prescription:  Anyone else feeling like you blinked your eyes and time has moved on? Perhaps this is one of the healing effects of art. You make a mark, there you have left evidence of your precious life!  Art moves us…

August Rain August 21, 2013

Ah, cool August rain

Comes in on heals of thunder

Leaves air fresh and cool!

Art Prescription:  This morning outdoors was a sauna. I was taking photos of new art, and the heat felt like a wet blanket. After a good rain, the air felt much cooler…went for a nice walk.

peace

Art Prescription August 14, 2013 Inspiration

Inspirational

Art done on an index card

Meant to share with love.

Art Prescription:  Among the field of miniature art, there are Artist Trading Cards and Index Card Art. I’ve done a few Index Card pieces with the idea to share with others. Slip a little art into your partner’s lunch, or your kid’s…surprise a co-worker with some art for her desk, stick a little inspiration in the card to your mom…Everyone needs a little inspiration!

Haiku August 8, 2013 Desk Art

A desk pick-me-up

Miniature office art

Little reminder.

Art Prescription:  I don’t have a “desk” at work, as I move from room to room. I do notice that there are regularly posted comics or inspirational quotes around those who do have a designated space. So I did a little index card art in honor of “desk art.” We all work hard…doesn’t hurt to have joyful reminders in our spaces!! Breathe!

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/
