A drawing on a light green background. On both sides of the drawing, folded cranes are visible, one green and one pink. The drawing itself depicts a young man in denim clothing and a brown straw hat, wearing a basket filled with produce like a pumpkin, flowers and herbs. Over his shoulder he is holding a large sunflower. A painting on canvas of a path leading into the woods. On both sides of the path wild growing shrubs and trees are visible. A fabric brooch embroidered with a person standing underneath an autumn-coloured canopy where light shines through. The person is looking up. The canopy consists of multi-coloured beads. The brooch is situated on a peace of driftwood. A white porselain mug on a dark orange cloth. The mug is illustrated in black ink with a bat sitting on a surface.

Today’s #ArtAdventCalendar is a colored pencil illustration. The Western Wood Anenome (Anemonoides oregana), a montane flower species.

Their delicate pale blue flowers light up my path through the woods as I forage morels in the cascades every spring. Thanks for letting me share! 🥰

I might feel a bit sentimental
No, we're not soulmates. This is not divine intervention. And this is most certainly not chance. I willed this. I knit the theads of fate myself until they spelled your name. I love you intentionally. I love you with every bit of consciente I was born with.

Stitched artwork depicting the view through a canal tunnel. The fabric is black and the darkness in the tunnel is represented by negative space. Trees in the distance are reflected in the water. A towpath and railing are to the right

Not sure how noticeable it is but lately Ive been switching up my style a bit. Drawing the light instead of the shadows, been a really fun challenge

Super proud of this new stuff in that style, I think it brings out a more painted quality I'm loving 😊

A nighttime wintery scene of a town on a lake shore. Rolling hills and mountains silhouette against the sky, and the reflective lake mirrors a shining aurora. A hot summer's day in the French countryside. Dense tall grass coats the hills, broken up by the green and red of small bushes and rows of trees. Amongst the grass on the side of the road lays an unnerving something.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.
