’The Singing Tree’... digital art.
A Christmas tree decorated with red ornaments and ribbon. The ribbon has music notes attached to it, and a red-winged blackbird sits, singing at the very top tip of the tree.

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.

10.5 x 14 - oil on ACM panel. This began with just two northern flickers and the working title "Drinking Buddies". But I didn't like the composition. Enter the dunking bird. Thought you were just going to join the party? Oh no buddy, this is "The Intervention".

Oil painting by artist Lorn Curry showing two northern flicker birds - one of which is perched on a whisky glass, next to a glass decanter. The birds are looking at a dunking bird toy. The toy bird is also by a glass of whisky.

Day 11 #ArtAdventCalendar - almost ready for framing!
Cross stitched sampler with several sections. At the top is a full caps alphabet and Arabic numbers, followed by a row of baskets and hearts, followed by a large, three-story house with trees on either side. Under that is a sign "Shakers' Garden Seeds", with gift boxes on either side. At the bottom is another sign "We make you kindly welcome; the Shakers of Pleasant Hill Kentucky" with two women in Shaker regalia on the left and two men on the right. The entire piece is bordered with cross stitch loops.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 Not exactly warm but yesterday was a bit milder, so I spent more time outside- cut wood cut + took a few photos + video- of course I missed the early sun...lol Today much colder + snow #Alberta #animals #winter #PaganSky
A grey-brown squirrel with a reddish hint on its back and reddish fluffy tail (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus American Red Squirrel) sits on a small bit of stump dusted with snow and littered with the spruce scales left from its meals of spruce seeds. On either side of its perch large tree trunks rise- a spruce to left and poplar to right. Behind the squirrel is out of focus forest floor, snow covered with saplings and bits of dry red-brown vegetation protruding. There's a faint violet tint applied and the edges are blurred with a black vignette applied to accentuate the shadows of the season even as snow and frost whiten everything.

Water, interrupted

#ArtAdventCalendar #Photography #EastCoastKin
A photograph of water flowing, or trying to flow, over a small weir. There is a weir on the side of the lake, where outflow from the lake flows over a wall and goes into a small brook. On top of the wall is a small green leaf (here it’s in the background). In the foreground, stuck to the side of the wall is a second, orange leaf. The water flow is disrupted by these two leaves so that an arch shape (with multiple arches) flows from the green leaf. This surrounds a second set of arches created by the orange leaf. Under the orange leaf, water is prevented from flowing, so it only flows on either side. To the right is another object disrupting the flow of water. Its cascading lines cross over the arch lines of the green leaf, creating a hatched effect. Physics is cool!

Day 11 of #ArtAdventCalendar. A rainbow created in the mist of Niagara Falls while gulls fly across it.
#birds #rainbow #NiagaraFalls
Part of an the arc of a rainbow cuts through the middle of this picture while gulls seem to be flying through it. The entire background is a bluish river with some white foam nearest to the viewer. Mist slightly obscures the view and is also the prism through which the sun created the rainbow.

Stained glass design (I am not this good at putting s.g. it together - got some pros for that!) One big one for a hospital window, and small ones for family.
No coloured glass, but the Christmas lights outside are adding some pastels tonight!

A stylized stained glass window design with a half-circle sun in the bottom right corner that looks like an eye, with rays streaming out from it. In the centre foreground, a bird is flying away. It has long curving wings. It is lit from vehind with light blues and pinks.

"Portal" taken last year. this is the oft-photographed bonsai tree at Fairy Lake, near Port Renfrew, BC. i sent my drone in and got this different take on it, with the reflected sky making it appear that the log is jutting in from another dimension
