Team takahe all the way! I used sit and drink coffee with the retired takahe couple living at Zealandia in Wellington. They made the cutest noises walking around me. They were also very good at hide and seek.
Close up of long green grasses and foliage. In the grass you can see some feathers that are green and blue.

Wildfire smoke is BAD today. Thankful to my past self for making some air purifiers. This one is Dr. Who themed! #CleanAir #CRBox
A box fan and air filters taped together to form a large box sits on the floor. The fan is pointed up and one filter side is visible. The box is framed with blue duct tape and cardboard with a “police public call box” sign made to look like a tardis.

Went to figure drawing tonight and there was a new model!
Photo of a lit stage against a black backdrop with a rug and various stools on it. In the middle is a skeleton hanging from a stand. In the foreground is a table with a glass of water and a large sheet of paper clipped to a board.

Much needed cuteness for the timeline
A toddler is pouring water from a red watering can into a little fountain surrounded by flowers on a patio. The watering can is so big you can only see the child from the waist down. They are barefoot and there is spilled water all over the floor. A grey cat is sitting on the fountain watching the water with great intensity.

Time for some art I think. Here’s a wee watercolour painting of one of my hearing aids (not as colourful as my last pair alas!). #DeafSky #TraditionalArt
Close up painting of an ear in with a silver hearing aid.

Brightening the timeline with some more art. Here’s a drawing of our family dog that I did for my mum’s birthday, pencil crayon on wood #TraditionalArt
Drawing of a Rough Collie (like the dog Lassie) from the neck up. The dog is looking into the middle distance with big brown eyes and his mouth is slightly open. One ear is up and the other is folded over and his fur is very fluffy.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 20, how about a self portrait? Water colour and graphite on wood. This was for the Pride show here in Squamish, featuring 2SLGBTQIA+ artists.
Pencil drawing on wood of a person from the shoulders up looking at the viewer. They have short hair and blue eyes. Their right hand is raised pointing to their chest with the thumb in the ASL sign for PRIDE. Below the thumb is a Pride rainbow flowing out, as if being zipped open.
