Must have been delirious from reposting all the #ArtAdventCalendar stuff last night because forgot to add the hashtag to my own post.

Oops. 😐😂

Day 7: Psittacosaurus

Say you're on your daily jog through the forest and then this jumps out at you, like so!

#ArtAdventCalendar #Art #DigitalArt #dinosaur #paleoart #SciArt #paleontology
Digital cel-shaded art of a leaping psittacosaurus, a bipedal precursor to triceratops. It is largely orange-brown with white countershading on its underside. The dinosaur has small stripes and spots marking the gradiation between its dark side and its light side. It’s jumping over a log and a bush set in some sun-dappled woods in the deep past. Worms inch inside of an isometric square of dirt that grounds the whole scene. Watermark: http://hmcgill.art

Her Constant Companion
Painting of a woman in a blue silk Victorian gown. An enigmatic shadowy creature looms behind her, staring at you with yellow eyes. The woman holds a red leash loosely in one hand, the other end appears to be attached to the creature.

When this Havasu, AZ burro was with me for training, he was called Dilly. Unfortunately I can’t remember what the adopter named him. I found Dilly a girlfriend from a donkey rescue, as I didn’t adopt out solo burros. They are social animals and need another burro to bond with.
Black and white portrait of a light colored wild burro. The white muzzle and nostrils look eminently soft and kissable. The burro has a few crinkled strands of grass hay held in his smiling lips.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 4: a Covid-related keepsake. I volunteered with hundreds of people to sew hundreds of fabric bags for healthcare workers to store their dirty work scrubs. Which meant dozens of spools of thread used! It meant to read the word "serve"! 😊

For #ArtAdventCalendar Day 7: My ink and watercolor drawing of dimpled trout lilies, Erythronium umbilicatum, native to the Southern Appalachians. These bloom from February to April.
An ink and watercolor drawing of two gold-colored blooms hanging down from bronze-colored 6-inch stems, with upturned petals and hanging stamens. The 5 leaves at the base of the stems are large, grayish green and mottled, against a dappled pale brown background.

Good morning and happy #artadventcalendar day 4! A throwback to my earliest attempts at collage, when I was using very little color.
Paper collage. A woman opens a robot with wings and removes a small bird from inside. A larger bird sits on the head of the robot. Behind them, mountains, trees. Only the birds are in color.

#ArtAdventCalendar I’m not a photographer but I took this picture on Kingston Rd, Toronto in May24. It has a Hopper-esque vibe, I think.
