It’s not too late to do my #ArtAdventCalendar post!

‘Symbiosis’
Acrylic on panel

Cascades frogs hunting prey with the sundew, hidden among mountain wildflowers, as pollinators buzz about.

#artist #natureart #ranacascadae
My painting “Symbiosis”. In the middle is a carnivorous Sundew plant, their small glands emit a sticky sweet attractant to catch insect prey. At first glance, the sundew & frogs seem devious, but there is an element of cooperation in the web of life. #frogart #wildlife #frogs #art #conservationart #ArtAdventCalendar

Day ten (!) of #ArtAdventCalendar - December is zooming by.

Here’s a painted stone from a few years ago with one of my all time favourite birds - a nightjar.
A warm-grey stone with a portrait of a nightjar painted on it. Behind the nightjar is a full moon. A sprig of foliage reaches in from the left-hand-side. Around the edge of the stone are some other names for the nightjar, such as: evechur, gobble rach and Jenny spinner.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 5: Another framed painting, this time a fox. The background is fully coated with thin layer of pearlescent gold to match the frames!

Photograph of a traditional painting in vintage photo frames, depicting a portrait of a fox on a golden background matching the frames. This angle shows how the background shimmers and so does the fox's eye!

These take ages to make but I love making them.

Inspired by my local landscape this is the ancient chalk Uffington White Horse.

This pot pulled itself apart in the kiln so I did some kintsugi to put it together and, somehow, it just adds to it.

Today was filled with #gratitude. I’m grateful for those willing to live with my work, those who send messages about #paintings they love, and nerdier messages about the table of contents in my notebooks… it’s the little things that truly bring us joy. And joy is one of the reasons I paint. #art

Whimsical and fun, but also poetic reminders of the fragility of beauty. Cosmos bring joy to the garden. At sunset, I walk by gently petting snoozing bumblebees while whispering goodnight. Details in ALT text.

Gah.. I miss ranunculus. Can’t wait for spring when these will bloom again. This painting hanging around the studio filled me with joy, now she’s heading to a gallery to find a home to share more joy.
