This painting portrays a vibrant country road leading past a rustic barn. Bold, expressive brushstrokes and rich colors—deep blues, bright yellows, and lush greens—create a lively, almost stained-glass effect. Trees line one side of the road, their leaves swirling in the wind, while rolling fields and distant hills stretch out under a dramatic sky of layered clouds

A little pink to start
#ArtAdventCalendar
Pink and beiges in a broken dishes pattern (triangles). One square of quilt-as-you-go which is machine quilted in straight lines following the lines of the triangles. Square is unfinished and draped over something in order to show the details of the quilted stitches.

I’ve been missing my small family unit (mom, dad, dog) so much since the last of them died this year. This piece is the first of a series which starts with simple lines which, to me, convey a gesture. I then create characters around the lines. This one is “Family Hug.”
#artadventcalendar
A work of geometric, expressive art. Ink on a paper board edged in gold. Four elongated, black-line figures — like hard-edged brush strokes — with similarly elongated lines (arms) cutting across them. Large circles form the heads, and small circles form the hands. Three figures are similar in size and stand with outstretched arms as if embracing one another while a smaller figure seems to jump up to meet them with its arms uplifted. The colors of the circles vary: purple, blue, yellow, green. All are edged with gold. A close up of the previous artwork. We see the four large circles atop the main black “lines” to get the subtle shading of the purple, blue, yellow, and green inks as well as the somewhat grainy texture of the shimmery gold accents. An even closer view of the previous artwork. We can see the texture of the paper and even more detailed variation within the purple and blue inks and the way all of the inks was absorbed according to the grain of the paper itself. The gold details look especially metallic here.

25”x50” Quilt
Commission for my World buddy, an architect & Frank Lloyd Wright fan. Replicated a light cover in Allen House from pics of an original & current wooden copy.
Simple colours, bit of artistic license. My most technically challenging quilt. 650 pieces & LOTS of seams.
Frank Lloyd Wright inspired quilt. 25”x50” Horizontal wall quilt comprised of two exact blocks. Each is a pattern of various squares and rectangles, radiating from a plus sign shape in the centre, outwards. Medium brown, cream and dark brown to emulate the appearance of wood with many cutouts to replicate the inspiration for the design.

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

Danielle Smith and the UCP don’t think you deserve to know what they’re doing, why they’re doing it or how much it costs.

I break down how the UCP continue to twist, torque & break the laws that govern access to information.

Better is possible, just not with the UCP.

Most average working Americans abide by laws and norms. Most are kind and decent. But there is growing rot at the top of our system. And its stench can no longer be ignored. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-732

She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

CASSIDY: I know it's titillating, but I think we need to move beyond the titillation

TAPPER: This isn't about titillation. This is about the fact that you are the chairman of the health committee and you voted to confirm somebody that by all accounts is actually making America less healthy

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

WHY WAS THE CROWN PRINCE OF BONE SAW ARABIA IN THE OVAL OFFICE YESTERDAY? IT'S BECAUSE DONNY IS A GREEDY ASSHOLE WHO WANTS TO BUILD A FUGLY GOLDEN TOWER IN RIYADH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY TREMENDOUS POST. BIG STRONG READERS ASK ME SIR! HOW DO YOU DO IT! SIR! LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/47RIGXa
Donny didn’t just embarrass himself — he humiliated the entire country. Mohammed bin Salman should have never been allowed to set foot in the Oval Bordello — because, as everyone well knows, MBS is the winner of the Nobel Chopped ’Em Up Real Good Prize.

To all victims of sexual violence; be kind to yourselves. Things are only going to get nuttier, take care of your mental health and don’t be afraid to disengage from it.

Goodnight friends.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Bad Bunny’s got them hopping mad!
The image shows two X posts. The first, by Alex Cole (@acnewstics ) from 1 day ago, states: "This country eats tacos, drinks tequila, and dances to reggaeton, but god forbid we hear Spanish for 15 minutes at halftime?" The second, by Pop Crave (@PopCrave ) from 1 day ago, states: "Former racecar driver Danica Patrick slams Bad Bunny as the Super Bowl 2026 halftime headliner: 'No songs in English should not be allowed at one of America's highest rated television events of the year... not just for sports.'" The post includes photos of Danica Patrick and Bad Bunny.
