"The Bay in Sunshine"
A little 3 x 4 inch painting on a deep cradled wood panel. I tend to get quite tight and controlled when I paint, so I was pleased at how loose this one turned out. Painting more loosely is an ongoing goal for me.

Lucky me! Today a friend took me to the home of a recently passed local artist whose daughter was selling off his huge oeuvre of works at VERY low prices. 3+ hours later I left with more art than a woman has a right to. :-) Here's my stash.

Another small alcohol ink painting on Yupo paper. I've noticed that my phone camera seems to have trouble focusing on red and pink colours...

Another little alcohol ink painting on Yupo paper. This one makes me think of rain on the windshield of a car.

Hey, artsy and craftsy BlueSky friends! I'd love to see what you're making right now. Would you share a pic in the comments?

My big "making" during Christmas holidays has been apple crisps. Finally using up the apples from our trees that have been stored since September.

This is another small alcohol ink painting on Yupo (plastic) paper. I was inspired by the work of another artist to try the repeated small white dots near the lower right.

An attempt to make flowers in alcohol ink. I'll needs some practice if I want them to be more realistic. But things don't have to be realistic, right? :-)

So it's the last day of the Advent. Here's my Day 24 #artadventcalendar creation. Another oil and cold wax painting on paper. It's been a joy sharing this art exchange with all you folks.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas (or whatever else you celebrate) and a Happy New Year!

Day 23 of #artadventcalendar. This is another oil and cold wax painting on paper. I used a piece of lace fabric that came with a bouquet of flowers to "stamp" on the lacey patterns.

Day 21 of #artadventcalendar. This pair of paintings on paper are primarily in oil and cold wax, but with other media like pencils and pastels included. I taped the borders and made both at the same time and then peeled off the tape to get two separate paintings.

Day 20 of #artadventcalendar. A very tiny painting that sits on my desk. I painted it with oil and cold wax on a 4x3 cradled board, then outlined mountains and drew in trees with pencil.
