Maybe boycott the singing competition platforming propaganda by a state committing an ongoing genocide, perhaps. A little proposal for the bare minimum. Something to consider.

Friday the end of the working week for me at least. The tabletop studio has been filled with a lot - not always art. #art #collageart #irishart
Patterned art pages that are handled with colours from blue to pink and burnt orange the cut and torn paper on the left hand side and out together to create an image that is like a sea shore with a lighthouse by its edge. On the right there are more collage pages not yet used. Collage of blues and pinks making up an image of a lighthouse by the sea Another photo but a different angle of both sides previous images. The image is of an art collage made up of Hand coloured and patterned paper.

Solitude on days of madness. Last two days before Christmas I know for many it will be hectic and stressful. I hope you can find some tranquility in the day to exhale and count your blessings however small they may be,that’s where the contentment can be found #ArtAdventCalendar #peace #calm #collage
A quite little cottage on a shore. The image is made of torn paper to give the impression of water and sand and sky a small handmade collage.

Tucked away. Happy Friday #ArtAdventCalendar #collageart #workinprogress #irishartist
A close up shot of work lots of pieces of torn paper. Shades of blue paper with different marks on them some yellow paper and green. Behind them is a portion of a house that have drawn with two small windows and a black pitched roof. In the background are mountains made of more paper with different textures drawn on them and one tiny paper house which make it look like it’s very far away.

Different angles show different perspectives. #ArtAdventCalendar #irishart #landscape #workinprogress
This image is made up from many artworks that I have had stored away there a house made of collage with parts of old book pages. The background is a dark navy painted sky with a little cut out full moon. The foreground is a mix of flower drawings cut up and placed to look like a messy garden. The image is as discribed previously but this the full image not taken from an angle. A landsacpe of a dark night with full moon a house sits in a flower garden with a purple mountain in the background The image as previously explained but from another angle.

Something a little different for mid week. A simple pen drawing coloured with ink,Kuretake watercolour and Daler Rowney watercolour pencils. A fox in the snow on a dark night looks to the stars. #ArtAdventCalendar #Art #Fox #Nightsky #illustration #irishart
A pen and ink drawing of a small fox sitting on the snowy ground looking up towards the night sky with three stars twinkling. There are night shadows and the hint of fox prints in the snow.

Stormy day out there with a red weather warning for later.
All the little sea crafts will be heading for port and the big vessels will weather the storm

people say “you need to start living in the real world” but they forget that the real world includes lupines and lightning bugs and ginger beer and starlight and sea coasts and Renoir paintings and Rachmaninoff’s piano concertos and fog banks and foxes playing in snow.

Something different to round off the day - last year I was working into vintage plates - a few days ago I was asked for a little fox illustration. Today I worked on it. Tomorrow it will be delivered and hopefully the recipient will love it. #Art #Illustration
