A fused glass panel based on my father's fossil collection from holidays on the wonderful Dorset Jurassic Coast in the 1960s &70s. It missed #Artadventcalendar as it was a present!

A blue square fused glass panel with 3 kiln carved ammonites, a black glass paint seashell and seaweed, a copper shell and copper wavy seaweed inclusions. The panel has bubbles from the fusing process in the kiln and a hole where a big bubble popped which people have been kind enough to say could have been deliberate (but it wasn't).

Astonishing admission from Ollie Ilott, the Director General for AI in the British government.

He says you wouldn't want an opt-out from AI training to be too easy to use, because the primary goal would be to get more work for AI companies to train on 🤯

Poem, panic, prayer
Where are we going people?
Kind of a poem, kind of a prayer, kind of a panic. Knots in my stomach Global stress & gastric stress Not feeling family in USA are safe Not feeling USA is a Uk Ally Not feeling good about living near US airbases in UK Not feeling the usual creative impulses Not feeling like getting out of bed Not feeling like the social media disclosure requirements matter Not feeling like the offers of £49 flights to USA are tempting Not feeling like USA has calculated the economic impact on the rest of you of the individuals maximising their personal gain Safety v sanity what a choice What can we do... Hug our kids Be kind to our neighbours Make art Read books Hold our elected officials to account Pray

A star cluster within a nebula. The background is filled with thin, pale blue clouds. Parts are thicker and pinker in colour. The cluster is made up of bright blue stars that illuminate the nebula around them. Large arcs of dense dust curve around, before and behind the clustered stars, pressed together by the stars’ radiation. Behind the clouds of the nebula can be seen large numbers of orange stars.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 23 “Chaos.” layered paint/paper 11 by 14 (in), an exploration of vibrant energy and layered complexity. I wanted to capture the feeling of spontaneous creativity—a vivid, intense rhythm that invites you to get lost in its depth and movement. #AbstractArt
“Chaos.” At 11 by 14 inches, this piece is an exploration of vibrant energy and layered complexity. Warm oranges and yellows pulse through the canvas, set against bold blacks and deep greens that create grounding forms. Bright pink lines drip vertically, bringing a sense of motion, while scattered splashes of blue, white, and red add unexpected moments of focus. The paint ranges from thick, textured strokes to smooth washes, allowing colours and shapes to interact dynamically.

#ArtAdventCalendar 2025, Day 22:

Ammonite scarf. My first hand-painted textile project. I still think that silk is a beautiful medium! 🧶

Medium: Pebeo Setasilk paint and silver gutta on 8mm Habotai scarf. Dimensions are 14 x 72 inches.
Full length ammonite scarf stretched out on a silk rack, fully painted and drying. The ammonites are outlined in silver gutta and rendered in turquoise, sky blue and light green tones against a field of blue-black. Close up of the detail of a hand-painted ammonite, colors flowing and dappled on the silk. Close up of the detail of a hand-painted ammonite, colors flowing and dappled on the silk.

Day 22
Introducing Mr Carwash Angel Penguin, my zaniest output from a wonderful screenprinting on glass course. James Cockerill (Halt Glass) was teaching high up in the south triforum of Ely Cathedral where Ely Stained Glass Museum have workshop space

#Screenprint
A 3 layered screen print on clear glass. The central figure is a black emperor penguin in profile. He is surrounded by yellow angel wings and halo and has a background of the splashy bubbles of a windscreen inside a carwash in blue. The image also show a full reflection of the patterns all in black as the enamel is opaque and does not reflect colour.

Day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar is my acrylic painting of my barred owl moon fine 2022
An acrylic painting of a waxing crescent moon on a circular canvas. The craters on the moon are not realistic. It's a vibe-based moon. In the shadow of the moon is a purple barred owl. Surrounding the moon is a matte sky with stars. The painting is hanging in a blue wall

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20 “Pulse”, 11 × 14 (in.) With “Pulse,” I aimed to capture a dynamic moment—something electric and alive—that keeps shifting beneath the surface.
The artwork is an abstract composition featuring bold and dynamic use of colour and form. It includes vibrant splashes of yellow, white, pink, red, and blue, intermingled with areas of deep purple and black. Sharp, black linear strokes cut across the canvas, intersecting with softer, cloud-like patches of white and pastel hues. There are fluid, curving blue lines and small white circular shapes dotted throughout the piece, adding a sense of movement and rhythm. The overall effect is energetic and layered, with contrasting textures and shapes creating a complex, visually engaging composition.

The idea for this leaded glass panel was for the lead to be the star.
Overlapping leads, clear hammered glass for texture and empty spaces in the design created these tree root like shapes. Leads polished and waxed to keep them silver help the leads shine

Reclaiming glass from old leaded windows revealed precious gems. Cleaning up pieces revealed flashed glass edges. Ancient craftsman's grozing marks reflect light like sparkling crystals exposed after years under leads to celebrate these vibrant ancient jewels.

In this silverpoint illustration of our native prairie crocus, I used a piece of silver wire as a stylus on a specially prepared painted base called a ground. This technique was popular for centuries before graphite pencils became available.
Sketch of a very hairy prairie crocus plant with a clump of dissected leaves at the base and a pale violet bud opening on a stem arising above the leaves. The sketch is drawn with silverpoint on an ivory background.

14th December! Behind door number Fourteen we have:

"Rock hopper Penguin" - Acrylic on A4 paper.

I don't often paint "things", I prefer my art to be purely abstract, but very occasionally I'll whack a bit of wildlife in there for fun.
An abstract painting, a blue background with swathes of gold, silver and bronze. There are splashes of bright pink. In the middle of the page is a rock hopper penguin.
