Thank you to the Bluesky community who have carefully read & engaged with this piece. I’d also urge you to listen to the Professor Simon Baron-Cohen interview that I embedded. I can only include last 3 mins here but he gives precise chronology..including how he was cleared of plagiarism

Solar eclipse this evening, 3 different techniques to capture the view. #eclipse #lightthroughthings

Multiple images of the eclipse on white card captured through the larger holes of a chestnut roasting pan so the card had to be further away to focus due to the large holes.

Inspiring visit to see #StainedGlassMuseum exhibition of painted glass by #TamsinAbbott that illustrates the book Wild Folk. Beautifully detailed painting & scraffito work is so intricate & the beautiful mouthblown glass chosen is allowed a staring role elevated by her designs. #Stainedglass #Ely

Continuing the ammonite theme here is the latest experiment. Dove Screen Enamels were applied over a vaseline resist. Given the smoke & fumes from the kiln firing I would not recommend vaseline & will be trying other resists. Keen to hear suggestions... #Stainedglass #Fusedglass #Doveenamels

A blue square fused glass panel with 3 kiln carved ammonites, a black glass paint seashell and seaweed, a copper shell and copper wavy seaweed inclusions. The panel has bubbles from the fusing process in the kiln and a hole where a big bubble popped which people have been kind enough to say could have been deliberate (but it wasn't).

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 23 “Chaos.” layered paint/paper 11 by 14 (in), an exploration of vibrant energy and layered complexity. I wanted to capture the feeling of spontaneous creativity—a vivid, intense rhythm that invites you to get lost in its depth and movement. #AbstractArt

“Chaos.” At 11 by 14 inches, this piece is an exploration of vibrant energy and layered complexity. Warm oranges and yellows pulse through the canvas, set against bold blacks and deep greens that create grounding forms. Bright pink lines drip vertically, bringing a sense of motion, while scattered splashes of blue, white, and red add unexpected moments of focus. The paint ranges from thick, textured strokes to smooth washes, allowing colours and shapes to interact dynamically. With “Chaos,” I wanted to capture the feeling of spontaneous creativity—a vivid, intense rhythm that invites you to get lost in its depth and movement.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025, Day 22: Ammonite scarf. My first hand-painted textile project. I still think that silk is a beautiful medium! 🧶 Medium: Pebeo Setasilk paint and silver gutta on 8mm Habotai scarf. Dimensions are 14 x 72 inches.

Full length ammonite scarf stretched out on a silk rack, fully painted and drying. The ammonites are outlined in silver gutta and rendered in turquoise, sky blue and light green tones against a field of blue-black.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20 “Pulse”, 11 × 14 (in.) With “Pulse,” I aimed to capture a dynamic moment—something electric and alive—that keeps shifting beneath the surface.

The artwork is an abstract composition featuring bold and dynamic use of colour and form. It includes vibrant splashes of yellow, white, pink, red, and blue, intermingled with areas of deep purple and black. Sharp, black linear strokes cut across the canvas, intersecting with softer, cloud-like patches of white and pastel hues. There are fluid, curving blue lines and small white circular shapes dotted throughout the piece, adding a sense of movement and rhythm. The overall effect is energetic and layered, with contrasting textures and shapes creating a complex, visually engaging composition.

Day 14 1This clear glass fused glass panel has copper inclusions. I was trying different backgrounds with this white wispy glass held behind it. I enjoy the bubbles which were added by the kiln during fusing as a happy surprise. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

A glass panel with a seahorse in silhouette facing left made of copper which turns a dark red in the kiln. There are 3 strands of seaweed either side and the panel contains a small amount of blue and pink glass frit (but I didn't use enough for a big impact). There are a sprinkle of clear bubbles captured inbetween the two layers of glass which enhance the under the sea feel of the piece.

#ArtAdventCalendar - day 12 Sofi The Shape of Mood II, 12-02-2023 Acrylic on stretched Canvas, 14" x 14" #ContemporaryArtist #ProcessArt #Artyear #TraditionalArt #PainterlyScroll

This painting emerges from a search for balance within emotional flux. Curved and angular forms drift through layered blues, interrupted by a single warm accent - like feeling surfacing within depression. Structure offers momentary order, yet nothing remains fixed. Stillness and movement coexist, forming an intuitive map of mood shaped by chance, vulnerability, and quiet intention.

An abstract painting made of overlapping rectangles and squares in shades of blue, white, and gray. A large, hand-drawn circle sits at the center, slightly rough and layered over the shapes beneath it. On the left side of the circle, a small area of warm orange stands out sharply against the cool colors. Visible brushstrokes give the surface a textured, human feel.

A wig stand is set up before a dark room, lighting up the wig and headpiece on it. The headpiece has 5 white rays coming out of it with white branches between the rays; they are all covered in sparkling and clear rhinestones. White fluff sits along the hairline, looking like snow. A white halo covered in clear gemstones and pearls arches over it.
