Tall purple fleabane in one of my favorite photos, from a wonderful time in #WatertonLakesNP in Alberta. It reminds me of a line in a Robert Hass poem: "The light in summer is very young and wholly unsupervised."

#ArtAdventCalendar #nativeplants #flowers #flowerphotography 🌿
The luminous lavender flowers of three tall purple fleabane (Erigeron peregrinus) against a green background of leaves with the sun shining through them. The shot is taken from the side of the flowers, so the yellow centers are peeking through the petals.

The entire view is of blurry snowflakes that are different sized circles or dots in a small yard covered in snow. The yard has a black iron fence and the street is tree lined. It’s night and there are about 10 lit street lights, giving the entire picture a yellow glow. Maybe a real life snow globe.

Abstract Neurographic/Zentangle mashup I’ve been doodling on. A ‘neurotangle’ if you will.

A stylized painting of a peaceful woodland scene. Two tall trees with twisting brown trunks stand beside a calm stream. The water reflects patches of blue, green, and white, like broken pieces of glass. Sunlight filters through dense green and yellow leaves overhead.

Is actually a thread on how I saved and restored a 125ish year old violin destined for the trash.

A colorful, abstract painting of tall green leaves and purple flowers against a dark background. The flowers and plants are outlined with bright, glowing blues, greens, and pinks, giving the scene a lively, almost stained-glass effect, as if the garden is illuminated at night.

Not sure what counts as art, but this is the closest thing I have to contribute to #ArtAdventCalendar. Two nightstands I built this summer to replace the awful Ikea ones we'd used for a decade.
Photo of two walnut nightstands against a white backdrop. They each have two drawers with a strip of brass inset into a circle in each drawer face for a handle. The carcass of each is attached to four legs splayed outwards and floats above a lower shelf. Photo of the top and side of one of the nightstands, showing how the grain of the wood appears to flow from the top to the side in a continuous "waterfall" effect. Close-up of one of the drawer faces, showing a strip of brass inset into a circle to act as a drawer handle. Close-up of the lower shelf and how it sits atop a stretcher to attach to the leg assembly.

Day 10 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a snowy day in Toronto. I love everything about snow except shovelling it. Its pretty, it's dramatic, it's cool & fresh, it's quiet and, if you're dressed for it, it's cozy. I paint the snow often and it's always different. Crisp, deep, blowing, sparkling, sloppy.
For just one moment 36x40, Oil on wood panel The sun is setting over a snowy field, glowing in orange and pink before fading to a blue sky above. The snow is blue with sparkles of the pink and orange light. Some tall grasses poke through the snow. On either side, tall trees are dark, silhouetted against the sky. The texture is rough, painted with knives and rollers.

If you have any plans to watch the new Netflix series Ripple, I strongly suggest you invest in a case of tissues beforehand. Yeah, I’m talking ugly cry 😭

We've decided to extend this discounted price til January. We want to help make gifts affordable during the holidays, even if it's a gift for yourself.
We didn't write our books to make money (very few do). We wrote them to entertain & give you a few hours of escape. #Booksky #books #yegger #yeg

Day 9 of #artadventcalendar. We are looking forward to more snow by the end of the week.
A road showing two tire tracks moves to midground where a line of trees- some deciduous bare limbed reaching into the icy fog sky others full bodied evergreens march across the horizon. The sky and the earth both have varying icy blue white values.

There is absolutely nothing like a delicate rose ... 🌹 #ArtAdventCalendar Day 8
#MacroMonday #FlowerPhotography #EastCoastKin #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #Roses #NaturePhotography #PhotographersofBlueSky
A close-up of a softly blurred red rose bud opening with yellow-green sepals gently curving outward from beneath the red petals. The background is a blur of peachy-pink, dark and light greens, green leaves and petals of another red rose in the upper right corner. A white vignette finishes off the edges of the frame.

Breaking up the series of burro portraits with a horse portrait of Beatrix. Beatrix is a very fancy, dramatic & powerful pure Spanish horse (Pura Raza Española). She is also very kind, personable & loyal. Which side of her character do you think shines through in this portrait?
Black and white headshot of a dapple gray Andalusian horse. Her head is slightly tilted to the left, her eyes are dripping with kindness, and her lips are slightly pursed as though she might blow a kiss.
