Murrayfield: Urban Glow #Edinburgh #Stunday #peergroupweekly #artyear #LowLight #urbanphotography #photography
Silhouette of Murrayfield Stadium (Edinburgh) late in the evening with bare winter trees in the foreground. Orange and amber light from street lamps diffuses through fog, creating a dramatic glow against the dark stadium structure and night sky.

I'm so glad to see that together we can help one of our art challenge hosts. These are difficult times for all of us, and this could happen to anyone. 🫂 Grateful for the friendships I have found here on Bluesky. 🦋💙

@jay.bsky.team @bsky.app I wanted to share how amazing the art community here is. An art challenge host is facing eviction after their partner wasn't paid by their employer. We’ve raised over $3,000 — almost entirely from the BlueSky art community. Thanks for building "the good place!" 🙏

Hey folks! One of our amazing art challenge hosts is facing a financial crisis and I've organized a GoFundMe for them. If you could even donate $5 or $10, it would really help out. Thank you!

I don’t usually share these things but a friend of mine is in dire straits and could use a hand this holiday season. They on the verge of losing everything so let’s hell keep them afloat. Even if you only have $5 to spare, every little bit helps. TIA and Happy Holidays.

Three Milk Drops #ArtAdventCalendar #Abstract #Photography
Abstract fluid art photograph showing circular swirling patterns created with milk and oil paints. The composition flows outward from a pale sea foam green center through peachy-coral and orange tones to intense hot pink at the edges. Spherical droplets of varying sizes in yellow, orange, red, purple, turquoise, black, pink, and white are scattered across the surface, with a striking cluster of multicolored droplets near the center creating a focal point.

Are You Ready???

#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

Happy anniversary - to me and anyone else who signed up on Bluesky a year ago today!🥳 I signed up on Nov 16, 2024, and wrote my first post Nov 20. Time flies!

I've found several new friends here, and I'm so grateful to all of you. What can be better than sharing our love of art with each other?🎨📸💙

#TheRoad to Enlightenment #Abstract #Composition #ArtYear #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography
This composite of images shows a dramatic cracked surface stretching toward the horizon, with a central fissure that forms a road-like path leading directly into a towering, storm-filled sky. The fractured terrain creates scattered pools that reflect the turbulent clouds above, while golden sunlight breaks through the grey and blue formations. The central crack acts as a pathway drawing the eye from the foreground straight toward the luminous, clouds on the horizon, creating the impression of a road that leads from earth directly into the heavens.

Yesterday #Kremer Pigments shared that their NYC location will close end November - a sad day for the art community.💔

Thankfully, we can still find our favorite #watercolors & #pigments at Kremer Germany and on their int'l site🎨 but I'm still in shock...🥲

#Colors are one of the great #mystery components of #SensoryArt
Colors can be bold and daring
They can be heard, felt and seen by #Synesthetes
They reflect or set a mood

From a single color to rainbow
How will you show off #color this week?

Can you recommend a good mixed media art journal / sketchbook? It should handle gouache, Posca pens, NeoColor1 wax crayons, NeoColor2 watercolor crayons, pens, markers, collage, you name it! 📚🎨🖍️

I just saw it was #ArtYear 's 6 month semi-anniversary - so thanks @annalarssonstudio.bsky.social for making this happen, and something a little more artisty than my photos, but still digital - a Photoshop watercolour look-alike of a high key Black-necked Stilt #Birds 🪶 I must get drawing/painting.
A Black-necked Stilt, satnding on one of its long pink legs, head turned around so hiding its long bill. High key, on calm water with reflections of bird and grasses. Photoshop watercolour look-alike on embossed paper background colour matching the darker part of pink legs.
