#ArtAdventCalendar Probably my last contribution for this year: Cranes, Port of Seattle. I've enjoyed seeing so much creativity here, not having to fight an algorithm to discover new things.

#ArtAdventCalendar Some Japanese Maple fall color. Tried to do a bokeh effect in the background but it's not quite working the way I imagined.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 10, sort of a work in progress. I liked this particular corner, but the rest of it, not so much. Will be giving it another shot at some point, hopefully with more success.

A little plein air study in oils from is past October. #ArtAdventCalendar #art #oilpainting #pleinair #landscape #autumnleaves

Photo of an oil painting on an easel outdoors in the autumn sunlight. Leaves are scattered around, and the painting of the nearby clearing is positioned to look like part of the real landscape. The mixing tray of the palette shows mixes and washes of various colors. The photo and painting are full of warm autumn colors.

Day 8 is for Rest, a painting I imagined at a time when I was tired and craved some quiet solitude. Rest 24X36 acrylic on canvas #ArtAdventCalendar #Art

Acrylic painting on canvas. The angle of the painting is as if the viewer were sitting on the ground facing the vista. The background shows a tree-covered hill rising to the left in silhouette against a blue sky with light, streaky clouds. On the right is the edge of an aspen forest with yellow autumn leaves, foreshortened to the distance on the left. The foreground shows some smooth rocks in shades of gray. One flat-topped black rock has three small, flat rocks stacked on it and a lavender-colored rock beside the stack. There are a few long grass blades among the stones.

Day 8: #ArtAdventCalendar 'Into The Light.' Pencil, pastel, finished digitally. #birdart #sciart

A drawing of a great tit in flight I did a while ago. I have drawn the bird, sort of melting into the background. There is a hint of a sun flare on the bird's left wing, the background is mainly a white hazy sky, the image itself is quite low saturation, the main colour coming from the yellow of the bird's feathers. I have tried to portray a kind of surreal image. I've finished off the image adding to existing colours and tones with some digi brushes in photoshop. The wings are almost at one with the hills in the background.

I’ve missed a few days but here’s Day 8! (Posting on behalf of my dad.) #ArtAdventCalendar “Eagle” Watercolour and ink.

Three overlapping artistic representations of an eagle. The central foreground representation is in a contemporary style with an eagle showcasing its wings in an upright manner. The two representations in the background are of a carved eagle totem and a northwest coast style indigenous eagle. The entire work features abstract patterns in muted colours, blending traditional and contemporary art styles. Pointillism is used to provide texture and depth to the piece.

#ArtAdventCalendar Ferries will be a neverending source of inspiration for me; they're such an integral part of life here on the Salish Sea. Is the boat leaving, or arriving?

Watercolor painting of a Washington State ferry, looking from the terminal. The sky tells of a passing storm, with the sun just putting through. Is the boat leaving, or perhaps arriving?

I feel like I should start naming my artwork with poetic or smart sounding titles to be seen as "legitimate." I'm calling this one "Construction Site." #ArtAdventCalendar

It’s #ArtAdventCalendar time again! Thanks Jay for hosting! I paint plein air often; it’s a blissful challenge to capture Alberta scenes in changing light, and often contending with wind, bugs, cold etc. 8x10, oil on board, painted this fall.I love our poplar stands and all the scruff within.

Oil painting of a stand of poplars in late fall on a grey Alberta day, the ground is covered with oranges and golds and rusty red tones from leaves and willow branches. Painted from life, en plein air, in one session.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! #artAdventCalendar This is One Volunteer, a triptych I painted this fall.

It's a tryptic with teals and reds. It's figurative, and there is some floral elements.

What a joyous surprise to find @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca running the #ArtAdventCalendar here on Bluesky! I'll kick off with four honorable mentions from my Top 25 "Sunsets-Plus" list. These are from the May 6, 2024, sunset over Lake Huron seen from the Port Austin Breakwater. #photography

Sunset photo of a large sun in an orange and yellow sky. A layer of cloud forms horizontal stripes across the sky, including a dark stripe across the center of the Sun. An orange stripe is visible just above the horizon. Dark lakewater with waves and orange highlights occupies the bottom of the photo.
