A sketch I did of the view toward Skiddaw in the Lake District. This was meant to be the start of a habit of making frequent sketches. Hopefully I will revisit this habit soon. #ArtAdventCalendar day 3 #art #drawing

For day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar, a view of the Matterhorn seen from Zermatt. The mountain was very bright and golden in the early morning light but I am afraid I somewhat ruined the painting with the trees. I plan to revisit this view more carefully in the future. #art #painting

This year has raced by and I don’t think I have much new to show for it so here’s one of my favourites that I shared last year: Greylag geese flying over Coral Beach (Isle of Skye) (acrylic) #ArtAdventCalendar

These stripes show a clear trend. This is 174 years’ of climate in Birmingham. (The website also has versions as bar charts that allow finer comparison between years.) #ShowYourStripes @uniofreading.bsky.social

Day 12: halfway through #ArtAdventCalendar. I have really enjoyed this so far. I don't know if I have another dozen pictures but I'll continue as far as I can. Today I am sharing this photograph of a polar bear being chased away from her meal by a big male under the midnight sun, north of Svalbard

Pastel on sugar paper. I feel I still have a lot to learn about using pastels, and there is a lot that could be improved in this image, but I was pleased with some of the effects

I cannot profess to be an artist, but the amazing
#ArtAdventCalendar images have inspired me to try sharing a few. I'll start simple for day 1 with the picture I already have as a banner on here:
