So my postcard is on its way to the PAE art for a cause exhibit.
Any guesses which of the two went on the adventure? You’re going to find out … now! I hope it finds a good home and here’s to next years adventures! #paeartforacause2026

This morning was spent with a moral support restart of Gilmore Girls while I did some paperwork and scanning. I also packaged up the chosen painting for @paeartforacause.bsky.social . 🤓

Today we go to outer space, to some galaxies far far away. Will this be the one I send to the @paeartforacause.bsky.social charity exhibit, or yesterdays lakeside dawn? I’ll let you know once I’ve mailed it out this week! Full #watercolourpaintingtimelapse is on my YT.

Yesterday I went to the lake and outer space, and one of those will be going to @paeartforacause.bsky.social for this year’s charity auction. I haven’t decided yet, so for now let’s enjoy a dawn lake view. Tomorrow we can go to outer space together. Full #watercolourpaintingtimelapse is on my YT.

I want to say thank you for all the love y’all have shown me this year! It’s been an amazing learning experience and I’ve loved painting everything (even if there was room for improvement). I have some experiments to share & I look forward to our #adventuresinwatercolourpainting in 2026! #2025recap

Our last painting to close out our month of December, and in fact 2025, I offer you some mint candies in hopes next year is a sweet one for us all. The full #watercolourpaintingtimelapse is on my YT.

I made some #christmascookies for you. I don’t have the patience for decorating cookies like this sadly, but I do love to look at them and one or two to snack on aren’t a bad thing either. The full #watercolourpaintingtimelapse is on my YT.

«We are doing really great! So far we have 600 artists from ca 30 countries signed up. But we can do better! Pre-pandemic we had 1000-1200. Let’s share the word and get our artist friends to participate. Alzheimer’s affects us all.»

We’ve had 4 days of sleet and freezing rain in the last week and the #icicles are the best part (aside from the sound). I think #watercolourpainting icicles are maybe the best since they don’t actually need the slippery, dangerous part that comes with the real ones LOL. My YT has the full timelapse.

There’s a charm to a #frostedwindow when it’s not yours. Another super pretty thing the cold and winter brings us. More sparkle and shimmer and pretty patterns to look at, just be sure to stay warm while you do. Full timelapse #watercolourpainting is on my YT.

Since we’ve seen the icy lake, we might as well look up at the snowy mountains. Winter really can be pretty! My YouTube.com/@artisticallyiris has the full timelapse #watercolourpainting .

Now for some shimmery goodness looking out at our frozen lake. Yes it’s cold, but boy does it sparkle and that makes me happy. Full #watercolourpainting timelapse is on my YT.

I hope your lights didn’t start out like this, but often they are messy tangled lights. The payoff is the fact they look amazing and happy through the dark winter though! What kind of lights do you usually put up? Full #watercolourpainting timelapse is on my YT. #winter #lights

Have you worn your ugly sweater yet? I stilll don’t have one, I’ve seen more than a few but they’re out of my budget for a minimal wear item so far. I hope the holiday season finds you happy, healthy and enjoying your #uglysweater . Watch the full timelapse #watercolourpainting on my YT.

The wonderful thing about winter is also the hardest thing, the early dark nights. The good thing is that we can see the starlight so much easier. Don’t forget to look up at the stars every chance you can. Full #watercolourpainting timelapse is on my YT.

You can never have too many #candles . I love them year round but there’s something magical about them in the dark of the winter. Full #watercolourpainting timelapse is always on my YouTube.com/@artisticallyiris .

Here’s what I imagine when someone says #winterwonderland . Soft shades, rolling hills, beautiful evergreens and of course #snow . It’s not practical but it is pretty. Full #watercolourpainting timelapse is on my YT with prints and other things on my artisticallyi.redbubble.com .

Don’t forget to harvest you share of the #CandyCane crop while they’re bountiful. Seriously though, how much fun are they now with all the different flavours?! Though you can’t beat a classic mint in your hot chocolate. Full #watercolourpainting is on my YT.

Nothing says winter like #Frosty the #Snowman being on TV. (Well, it was for my childhood.) So here’s my attempt at rekindling those childhood memories but in #watercolourpaint . I hope it brings you some joy in these strange hours. Timelapse is on my YT.

How about a #penguin friend to enjoy the winter with? It might be dark early for you but a friend always helps to bring brightness to even the darkest night. Full #watercolourpainting timelapse is on my ArtisticallyIris YT channel.

Doesn’t everybody like a gift? If so this one’s for you. If not you could always regift it. I’m incredibly lucky with the wonderful gift that you have all been to me this year! #watercolorpainting timelapse is on my YT.

How about a red nose reindeer to light up your day. She’s cute and will be one of the #watercolourpaintings available for prints, cards and other shiny things on my ArtisticallyIris.redbubble.com in a few days. Full timelapse painting will be on my YT.

Few things say winter more than gingerbread cookies (ok maybe they also say a certain green swamp ogre LOL). I only made one, so we’ll have to share, but I did give them some sparkle to make the plate fancier. #watercolorpainting timelapse is on my YT.

Since we worked so hard to build the snowpeople, we really earned a rest. Why not sit with me and enjoy a winter sunset, I still have hot chocolate from earlier! Full #watercolourpainting timelapse will be on my YT as always.

Do you want to build a snowman? I may have started without you but I’m definitely building another … but maybe you can help me lift these into place. ⛄️ Full #watercolourpainting timelapse is on my YT.
