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.

Starting off the #ArtAdventCalendar with a watercolor horse I painted a few days ago. I had a LOT of requests for different animals when I was selling last year, so trying to build up a little stock. #watercolor #painting #BskyArt #artyear #art #artist

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).

#ArtAdventCalendar This week is all about collage one of my favorite ways to dive into art after time away. “Song of the Sea” lives in my tiny sketchbook. I love combining hand drawn elements with collage. I was a bit obsessed with the shape of barnacles for a while. #collageart

For my first #ArtAdventCalendar this year I'm going for the piece that I'm proudest of, I really had a good play and experiment with it and am so happy with how it turned out. I'd had the idea for a while and then everything clicked...

For the first day of #artadventcalendar, a ring-billed seagull catching a capelin.
This past year, I spent a lot of time staring at seabirds all around the world, discovering how they are more than just gulls but magic.
And quite entertaining when the fish roll in for spawning

For the first day of #ArtAdventCalendar an acrylic painting of a pruning beaver that I encountered earlier this year at Point Pelee NP, when visiting for the excellent Festival of Birds.

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time.

Brazil has a particularly outsized pesticide problem. The country is the largest consumer of pesticides in the world, around half of which are HHPs.
These products are largely manufactured in Europe, where many of them are banned from use.

Thank you to everyone that donated. We're at over £600 in donations going directly to the survivors of the fire. I apologise in advance if it'll take me over a week to get to get to your requested doodle.

Signal boost. I ordered my copy of 'Everything Will Swallow You' from Blackwell's, which ships to the US and has excellent pricing (Blackwell's is in Oxford, UK). Pocketbook willing, I'm not done shopping there yet, either.
But also no one should be supporting Amazon in the first place.

Thanks to all who have reposted this thread to help get the word out. The selling of these books "as new" on Amazon is making it more difficult for Unbound authors to rebuild what we lost and move on.
Quick note to anyone thinking of buying my books: please purchase the new Swift Press versions, NOT the relatively small number of Unbound versions still knocking about, & being sold by OOINYA. Unbound stopped paying me for my work early in 2024 and I will never see a penny for these books.

Someone else’s noise
Seeps up through the thin plywood floors
Travels along old pipes from the apt next door
I wish the was more music
And less arguing
The forgotten alarm sounding
Had they already left ?

someone else's noise
drifts through the window
bass, guitar, saxophone voices lift & intertwine
shouts & laughter
joy shared
outside in the dark
sweltering summer night
turns hopeful
on dancing feet
clapping rhythm
moonlight through tree lace
& love made young again
