I’ve got your back friend
Those hard, rough places in life
I’ll be by your side.
Art Prescription: Many lessons learned on the farm. Watercolor pencil and pen and ink sketch.

Cat Nap September 28, 2014
Sunday, day of rest
A treat to get quiet, nap
Cat acupuncture!
Art Prescription: I’m not much of a napper, can never fall asleep during the day. I do relish laying down though and resting my body. With three cats, someone is always going to join me. Mocha, my tabby, will make biscuits for 30 minutes straight. Got a session of cat acupuncture and then up I went to the studio to play. 8 1/2 x 11 mixed media
New Direction September 25, 2014
Through open windows
Comes fall and winds of new path
Trees let go with ease.
Art Prescription: Are you wresting with letting go of something? Nature’s lesson this season is to let go and rest with full courage that new growth is next. Collage, pen and ink, and colored pencil on an envelope. I thought about using pieces of the envelope in a collage, and then I thought why not just do art on the envelope!!
A Day Off September 11, 2014
Place where time stands still
Gentle wind rolls across field
Horses graze on grass.
Art Prescription: Took my sketchbook and big old sun hat out to Blue Skies today. Took a chair and sat in the paddock, being part of the herd. So hot. They were fine to just let me be there. We know you and you are okay to hang-out with us. They stood lazy, swishing their tails against the flies, sun on their strong backs.
Road Trip September 9, 2014
September road tour
Bus leaves summer, next stop fall
Bags packed with color.
Art Prescription: Is the bus going to leave without you? Kicking and screaming…summer’s not over!!! I love the change of season. Another miniature piece. Artist trading card size.
Shimmering Forest July 6, 2014
A back-lit forest
Light and shadow dance on leaves
Air still with July.
Art Prescription: Celebrating Independence Day weekend by hiking at Mason Farm Nature Preserve. Can’t think of anything more freeing than to roam around on open land watching nature and all her beauties.
Bull Frogs June 29, 2014
The pond at daybreak
Bull frogs play Marco Polo
Loudest croaker wins.
Art Prescription: Six a.m. dog walking for my neighbors has benefits. It’s nice and cool, the birds are waking up with song, and there’s a game going on at the pond. Here is Duffy after a hot late day walk.
Life’s little Luxuries January 9, 2014
Bird choir sings, all rise
Sun’s entourage, glowing pink
Fog escapes my lips.
Art Prescription: Beautiful sunrise as I went out to feed birds! A luxurious moment!
Down on the Farm December 18, 2013
Down on the horse farm
Fresh air and work and horse pets
Body works, mind rests.
Art Prescription: Went out to the farm today to work…farm work…get dirty, use your muscles, wear high boots work!! And I loved it. Reward…grooming a couple of dirty winter coats, and taking in the senses that is a farm!!
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
