As soon as I leave
I want to return to this
Place where geese fly by.
Art Prescription: Meadows are my favorite spots. And a meadow with horses…well “As soon as I leave, I want to return.”
Watercolor, pen and ink, 5 x 11.

Clear Your Mind October 13, 2014
Farm entrance, dogwood
Cockle-berry takes hitch-hike
Horses in the woods.
Art Prescription: Both of us in need of clearing our minds, my friend and I. I went and led Finn out of the woods, rode a bit. Then we both took in the calm that is the farm, to clear our heads and sketch!
Blue Tractor September 21, 2014
Freshly mowed meadow
Scent of dried grass, blue birds dip
Catch insects mid-flight.
Art Prescription: Sunday hike at Merritt’s Pasture. The field was freshly mowed, except they left islands of milk-weed for the monarch butterflies. Saw cardinals, titmice, chickadees, blue-birds, and a juvenile hawk. Watercolor sketch with pen and ink.
Nuances July 25, 2014
July is fading
Perfect sunny summer days
Crickets hum, content.
Art Prescription: Two busy days at my RN job and doing a little art always gives me a lift. 3 x 5 index card art!
Botanical Sketch July 19, 2014
The Queen spreads her seed
Across hill and dale she reigns
With a crown of thorns.
Art Prescription: My Queen Anne’s Lace has gone to seed…fascinating. Ever look this close? I used my 10x magnifying glass.
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
Bucolic July 12, 2014
Bucolic landscape
Cosmos wind upwards, gold flags
Cone flowers stand guard.
Art Prescription: Rode Lacey today!! Meadow ride across freshly cut pastures, bucolic. Then home to sketch in my own garden. Grateful for this day.
Meadow on Horseback June 28, 2014
Steady, meadow edge
Clip, clop easy gait. Black crows
Iridescent sheen.
Art Prescription: Me, a horse, and a wildflower meadow. Slow ride in the country.
Opossum June 27, 2014
Wake up pure silly
Neither asleep nor awake
A dream-like vision.
Pillar June 7, 2014
A pillar of strength
Horses, with their all knowing
Grateful for the ride.
Art Prescription: I rode Lacey today at Blue Skies of Mapleview. She is so sweet…oh dear…heart tug! On a whim, I stopped by another local horse barn. There I met Victoria, a beautiful girl, and her owner. I did a brush painting of her, trying to capture her strong features and gorgeous lines.
