Day three of #ArtAdventCalendar.

Many moons ago, I used to paint stones. I’d sketch out an idea and then slowly transfer it onto a selected pebble. Here’s an example of one of my concept sketches and the finished stone.
A painted pebble. On a small, grey stone, there is an image of a flying Barn Owl trailing a dusting of stars. There is a full moon in the background. Beneath the stone, on white paper, is a simple concept sketch of the Barn Owl.

Oh, #artadventcalendar, how I've missed you!

Here's a something for the eyes: high up in the Warner Mountains above Modoc country, northeastern California
Bright yellow aspen leaves against a vibrantly blue sky, their trunks bright white and the ground litter with fallen leaves.

Little owl sketch in graphite and ink on moleskine
Drawing of a simplified little owl in pencil and a bit of ink on moleskine paper. The owl is looking to the viewer's left, head slightly tilted down, but eye looking forwards. The background is plain. Monotone warm tones.

On day 2 of #ArtAdventCalendar, we open the little door to find… oak leaves. I love their shapes. I love that native oaks support so much life.

Quilt, 47”x62”
After doing several masculine projects I was happy to dive into a very feminine one. It was a gift for a very dear forever friend who was navigating some big challenges. I chose every fabric with her in mind which is awesome because her aesthetic is beautiful. 🥰
Throw size quilt. Made with 12 blocks. Each block is comprised of a collection of one small square surrounded by 4 various different sized rectangles. Each piece is a different fabric. There are 3 each of blue, green, yellow and pink blocks. Every fabric piece is outlined by a thin off white border strip. Binding is a multi coloured stripe highlighting all the colours in the quilt.

Grain elevators, Loma MT 10/02/09
#LandscapePhotography #HistoricalLandmark
Looking across a line of green cottonwoods turning yellow and an open field to a row of three grain elevators. One on the right appears to be made of wood and the others of metal. A row of green trees is behind the elevators and a bluff rises behind.

Going back to 2019 for my first #ArtAdventCalendar post.

Love the detail of the tiny snowflakes on the foxes’ ears.

Watercolor 😈🎨🦇

I'll try to remember to use this post as a thread and keep them all together 🤞

Take a break from the chaos. Come sit for a moment, take a deep breath or two, and watch the manzanita bark curl❤️ #ArtAdventCalendar #CaliforniaNative
A closeup photo of a large manzanita trunk creates a wavy abstract design. Areas of dead gray wood contrast with the dark red-brown of its thin bark. The bark is peeling back in curls, revealing a beautiful smooth pale green wood that turns red-brown over time with sun exposure.

Advent Sunday & London was bitterly cold and wreathed in a damp fog which smelt of underground rivers and coal smoke. The Dragon of Kensington Church Street, however, was exceedingly well wrapped up in a Sèvres blue muffler and matching mittens.

Surely y'all aren't tired of #NoKings2 photos yet? Sorry I'm so late to the party but somehow all my favorites had up close faces in them so I took the time to preserve their anonymity. #NoKings2Oakland #TheTown #Resist
A woman dressed as Lady Liberty in shackles around her neck and wrists, with a huge chain connecting them. She is surrounded by other marchers. Her head is turned to the side and her eyes downcast, as if she is grieving. A man and a pink unicorn walk side by side. To the left and behind a couple with two signs walks together-one says Yes on Prop 50, the other has a picture of Smokey Bear and says Only You Can Prevent Fascism. To the right are two men, the nearest in profile and holding a No Kings hand flag with the march logo of a crown with a red slash across it. A woman in a colorful dress with abstract patterns and a mask to match. She wears a purple witches' hat with a little sign attached- Hex Him. Next to her and facing the opposite way another woman is dressed as a colonial soldier in a blue coat with gold epaulettes and a tricorn hat. There are other people marching by in the background. Two women stand in front of the classic Alameda County Courthouse with a sign that says I Hella <heart> Checks and Balances. There are a variety of other people in frame.
