For #ArtAdventCalendar of day 7 an oil pastell work I did for an art challenge here on Bluesky.
I really like this medium for comic and manga art (which I don't do often).

A female fairy with long grey hair and a green crown of leaves. She's wearing a brown top and earrings of leaves, too. Blue eyes. A blurry background is showing a forest in green colors.

The association between robins and the Oak King is rooted in Celtic mythology and Pagan lore. The robin is the bird representation of the Oak King, who battles the Holly King (represented by a wren) for dominance at the turning of the year.

Another 'forgotten' thing from a random sketchbook.
Puffins drawn in an online class given by @emmacavill.bsky.social @artistinresidence.co

#drawing #biro #pen #ballpoint #sketchbook #artyear #birdart #puffins
Landscape format sketchbook open to its full stretch. Double page full of drawings of puffins: on the left with outstretched wings, in the centre, over both pages - a puffin in profile with food catch hanging from its beak, top right a group of birds in a row, beneath it a bird in flight, bottom corner - puffin floating on the sea. All drawn with various ballpoint / biro pens. These are displayed above the sketchbook alongside a mug of tea. Following the theme it is printed with puffins.

🅳🅰🆈 7 - A Slough of Memories...
On the Canadian prairies a pond is called a 'slough'. The word comes from Old English "slōh", meaning soft, muddy ground. They are prettier than the word sounds...

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 6: another Lower Rio Grande Valley specialty, the red-bordered pixie, fans out on a Duranta flower at the @natbutterflycenter.bsky.social. Normally these are so scarce that you take what you can get, photo-wise, but they're having a banner year in 2025!
A black butterfly sits with its wings spread on a light purple flower. The wings have yellow tips, four red spots near the abdomen, and a border of red spots.

"Paper Boat on the Sea"

Medium: Digital gouache, painted in Procreate on the iPad mini with Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

A white paper boat navigates a glowing green sea. The sky is a deep pink, dotted with a few spots of green bokeh. Where the sky almost meets the sea, it lifts, revealing a different sky behind it. This sky is black and sprinkled with green stars.

We end today with 27 people posting to #ArtAdventCalendar who did not use AltText, I noticed a couple of folks reposting with AltText...so thanks for that.

There's very few "rules". Post your own work. Don't use AI. Use Alt Text.

If you don't know how or why...here's a thread from last year.

Do I want you to participate in #ArtAdventCalendar YES!

Do I want you to add Alt text to your images. YES!

Please help make this event inclusive.

But you say...how do I describe my art (not always easy right?)

Calappa, a dome-shaped crab in dark color, seen from the front. Behind its body and in front, hiding its claws and most of its face, are phalaenopsis, moth orchids with roughly circular shape, in lighter colors. Black and white drawing.

#FlowerReport:

From San Jose, California, on Monday.
A macro close-up photo of a purple Morning Glory flower. The ridges of the petals as they curve into the center divot are very pronounced. Three anthers rising outward look like white scrubbing brushes, and the fourth one (in the middle) is like a puffy white cloud made out of a dozen beads.

„What miracle of weird transforming is this wild work of frost and light, this glimpse of glory infinite?” — John Greenleaf Whittier

A slender twig is covered in delicate frost crystals, each tiny ice formation catching the low, warm light so that the branch seems dusted with sparkling sugar against a soft blue background. The focus falls precisely on a small section of the twig, where the intricate crystalline structures and a couple of tiny frozen droplets become clearly visible, while the rest of the branches fade into a creamy, cool-toned blur that enhances the sense of depth. The frost forms feathery, clustered patterns that cling to every edge of the twig and give it a fluffy, almost lace-like texture, with individual ice grains glinting in subtle shades of gold and white that suggest the low, oblique rays of a winter sun. Together, the cold blue surroundings and the warm highlights create a calm, contemplative atmosphere that feels both crisp and serene, capturing a quiet early-morning moment when the world is still and the fragile beauty of the frost can be observed undisturbed.

The picture shows a willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium) in winter. The twisted, dried capsules shown are the plant's seed heads. It looks very abstract. The background is blurred (bokeh).

Légèrement en bas à gauche de l'image, le soleil en train de se lever. Sa base est obscurcie par des nuages. Il est d'un beau jaune citron sur le haut puis les coloris forment un dégradé passant du jaune orangé, à l'orange puis au rouge foncé. Il est barré sur sa droite par une fine bande nuageuse. on aperçoit des taches solaires au centre. Le reste de l'image est d'un rouge très foncé, presque noir, avec quelques touches plus claires.
