A selfie of me standing in front of my artwork - Interconnected Isolation, Series #1. It's a set of 12 wall tiles made in ceramics and hand painted with an abstract design. The ceramics look like squares of fabric.

I'm facing my artwork and speaking with 2 viewers. My hand is pointing to the work as I speak.

Here is the landscape photo that I took that inspired the 3 Cherryhill paintings. Do you have a preference on the style of painting 1, 2 or 3? #painting #art #artist #canadian #landscape #inspiration #abstract #expressionism #brushstrokes #textures #paletteknife #ArtYear

Photograph of the landscape that inspired the 3 paintings in this post. It shows wispy cloud formations as the sun sets.

Cherryhill #1

Abstract expressionist painting with varying lines and brushstrokes overlapping each other to create the landscape and to capture the movement in the sky.

Cherryhill #2
Abstract expressionist painting with a combination of brushstrokes and palette knife to capture movement and textures.

Cherryhill #3
Abstract expressionist painting created only using a palette knife. This also captured movement and textures.

Here is the 3rd painting inspired by the same landscape as Cherryhill #1 and #2. This one was done only with a palette knife. Cherryhill #3 #painting #art #artist #canadian #landscape #inspired #abstract #oiloncanvas #paletteknife #FebruARTy #ArtYear #BlueskyArtShow #BlueskyArtNightMarket

Abstract landscape painting. It was painted only with a palette knife. The sky has blues, purples, white and small bits of yellow. The mid ground has yellow and reds to represent the sun setting. And the foreground is brown and darker shades.

Thank you! And thanks for reposting!!

After a very long hiatus of not painting or creating. I wanted to rediscover my creative process and style. Inspired by the same landscape as Cherryhill #1, here is another version. Cherryhill #2 #painting #landscape #artist #art #canadian #BlueSkyArtNightMarket #ArtYear #FebruArty #oil #canvas

Landscape painting in an expressionist way. With a mix of textured brushstrokes and palette knife painting. The sky at a sun set, the foreground textured and shadowed as the light is from behind. The sky filled with clouds and streaks of clouds. The colours are blue, purple and white with the midground showing some yellows, oranges and purples.

Another close up of the mid and foreground to show the palette knife textures.

The painting in it's new home after being purchased. It is on a wall by itself with a gallery light over it. It's in a small hallway of a condo. Take from the living room, you see shelving with other items, picture frames, bowls and sculptures. The sculpture on the third shelf and the 2 small vessels on the second shelf and pieces that I made.

After completing my BFA, I went through an event and I "lost" my creativity. Many many years later, I needed a painting for over my couch. This was inspired by a photo of the sky I took. Cherryhill #1 #art #artist #canadianart #artyear #blueskynightmarket #landscape #inspired #sky #abstract

Abstract painting. Brushstrokes of overlapping colours to create a landscape. Inspired by the sky.

Yes!! It was so perfect!! .... except for all the shovelling 🤣

Alana @alanamar-arts.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

It was a snow day today - all schools were closed. After a day of shovelling and entertaining my husky in the snow, it was nice to unwind with a tea and relax with a line drawing in my sketchbook #workinprogress #relaxation #linedrawing #sketchbook #linedrawing #art #artist #ArtYear #canadian

Sketchbook drawing of intersecting lines with contouring lines drawing in the spaces between the intersections. It's a work in progress.

The beauty with #20pots is you can start at any time 😊.

I would need to start making mugs to use #mugshotmonday 🤣. I was never great with handles. I do make some tumblers that I turn into travel mugs, so that counts! 😊

Love that - I will look at those too! Thank you!

Yes!! I should set it so that I can't post without the alt text - I was forgetting for many of the posts. It's a great feature!!

It's been 3 weeks since joining Bluesky, and I'm loving this platform so far. I just finished the #20pots to share my ceramic work. What other hashtags are artists using to share work?

I love making these bowls! Creating the lines are often a relaxing part of the process as I allow the form to guide me. The Gardiner Museum Shop asked for a set to sell. Grateful for the opportunity. linktr.ee/alanamar.arts #pottery #ceramics #clay #pottersofbluesky #blueskynightmarket #canadian
