#ArtAdventCalendar Day 9 - Fiery sunrise; nature is her own artist, I'm just watching her paint.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7 - I love the spunk and ambition of chickadees. I witness them stuffing two seeds in their mouth more often than not. Occasionally three. Once, I had one take off with a full almond 😳

Day 7 of Art Advent Calendar
Mixed Media Heart Canvas
Made with upcycled charms, keys, and found objects this canvas has a large heart as the focal piece. What you can’t really see is just how 3D it all is. #art#ArtAdventCalendar #mixedmedia #assemblage

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 6 - We are both fans of sunbeams. I couldn't re-create this if I tried.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 4 - I love when things grow or re-grow in unexpected places. Flowers in sidewalk cracks; plants coming out the side of a rock; and new life from what once was.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3 - Still a highlight of my summer--photographing a female (or juvenile) merlin. This one let me get within about 6ft; I have a couple close ups, but I love something about this one.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 2 - Nuthatches are one of my favourite birds. I love their little honk; how they move upside down on trees; and especially their little tongue sticking out when they have a seed in their mouth! This male looks proud of his snack.

Just finished this painting of a branch, incidentally featuring a great spotted woodpecker! 😂

Watercolor on 30x40cm paper, 425g/m2 - but learned my lesson about trying to use anything but Arches. 🙃

CONGRATULATIONS #ForeverCanadian volunteers!

Elections Alberta just informed me that our Forever Canadian petition is approved! Your hard work and love for Canada paid off!

Now, the Premier must do the right thing and call for a vote in the Legislature.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 1 - While the larch trees are stunning in golden yellow against dark conifers, I was struck by the potential of this in #BlackAndWhite... and was not disappointed.

Just a reminder, #ArtAdventCalendar starts tomorrow! 😃 Calling all artists of all media at all skill levels!

The #ArtAdventCalendar is one of my favourite hashtags--beautiful, creative, rich, diverse!

Though I participated for several years on the former socials, this will be my first go at it on Bluesky. Mostly my photography; sketches and watercolour if I'm feeling particularly brave.

Can't wait!
Artists & Art lovers!

Time to get geared up for the biggest art event of the year on Bluesky!

Last year we had close to 1500 artists from 25 countries posting original work daily from December 1-24
