Oooh, it’s time for #ArtAdventCalendar again! I haven’t made much art this year but I’ll see what I can find in the archives. 😉

Day One: A pencil drawing of a juvenile Tawny Owl, inspired by a pair of Tawny Owl fledglings which frequented our garden a few summers ago.

My small painting is of an area near the Devil’s Punchbowl where wild ponies live. It is a snow scene which I used for a Christmas Card in 2023.

Dandelion flowers were considered a "shepherd's clock" because they reliably open in the morning and close in the evening or during cloudy, rainy weather. They also symbolise the sun (yellow flower), moon (seed ball), and stars (seeds).
Art my own.

For Day 1, we're starting off with my latest painting that I just finished yesterday:

“Misty Forest”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a dark, closed-in forest with breaks of sunlight and fog. (with slightly-hidden kitty)

Think I'm going to use the lovely, annual #artadventcalendar to dig 'forgotten' things out of random sketchbooks.

Happy Autumn Equinox!
It's the first day of autumn, when day and night will be roughly equal length.
Days will get shorter, nights will get longer, and all coffee will be pumpkin spiced.
Farewell summer, hello spooky season... 🍂🎃

Tonight is Midsummer Eve (St John’s Eve) when the veil between worlds is thin.
Fairies and spirits might be abroad, and strange sights might be encountered.
If you find yourself out after dark, don’t stray too far from the beaten path... 🧚‍♀️🔥
