"Soul Unraveiling"
watercolor
8"x12"
8x12 inch paper. The left side of the paper is blank (all while). The right side has a mostly circular design of blue watercolor that has a melting effect . The paint sort of evaporates off the paper all around the central spot of blue. There is a touch of black and red on the edges.

Light as a Feather
A single brown feather resting on undisturbed light brown sand with a long shadow reaching foward. The rising sun is suggested by the yellow/golden tones in the sky over the ocean. Big puffy gray/white clouds up top.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 3.
#FlowerReport:

From last Tuesday, in Gilroy, California.
A close-up photo of a yellow rose. It is mostly from the side, a few gold nugget anthers are poking out from the folds of petals. Large and small droplets fill most of the outward petals. Due to adjusting the contrast and shadows, the water drops and the twists and turns of the flower's petals "pop" in the picture. The background is blurred.

#ArtAdventCalendar
#ArtAdventCalendar Guidelines Art can be almost anything. Paintings, drawings, sculpture, textiles, beading, photography, digital. If you think it's art and it beautifies the timeline then post it. No NFTs or Al art please PLEASE USE ALT TEXT It does not matter if you "posted it last year". You don't need to be a "professional" artist. If you make art at any experience level and want to show it off and make others happy, this is the event Art must be original and it must be yours or from a family member with permission. Please don’t post works from other artists, old masters etc Art does NOT have to be seasonal. It can be pretty much any subject, but please keep it family friendly-ish Please don't cross post with just links to other platforms. Most links to other social media sites don't show with images at all and if they do they are usually thumbnails Please do not post prices or use BUY NOW kinds of posts. We are bombarded with hard sell at this time of year and that's not what this is about. This is not meant to be a sales pitch. You can post links to your website if you like Please share posts and follow participating artists. This is both an exercise to build a following of art lovers and to build a supportive community of fellow artists. If you like someone else's work, let them know! As "organizer" I do my best to share all art during the month but if I miss a post, please don't take it as an insult or commentary on your work. There are a lot of posts and I will miss a few. Note that I won't share posts that contain prices or buy now content Post daily or as much as you can with the hashtag #ArtAdvent Calendar There is no specified time to post. It's a worldwide event so time you post isn't that important Don't worry if you miss a day or two. Post even if you only have 1 thing to show off that makes the timeline brighter While the event dates are the 1st to the 24th, feel free to continue to post until the end of the month if you like

My #SundaySentence comes from Zohran Mamdami, whose remarks in Puerto Rico this week were inspired by Malcolm X’s words of inequality and social justice: “If you are not at the table, you may find yourself on the menu.”
