This is my art and photo account. I have made a second account @canavart2.bsky.social for politics, opinion, games, etc.

I'll try to keep the content separate!

A male Eastern Bluebird about to dine on a berry. I believe this a Greenbrier plant, but I could be off on that.

Mazatlan courtyard. I've always loved the Spanish/Mexican courtyards and tilework. Colonial city, the light, the textures... amazing. ✨

Rockin Sparrow Flying Like an Eagle

A chipping sparrow (Spizella passerina) flies from right to left in front of tree limbs.
"A chipping sparrow bursts through the frame in mid-flight, wings fully unfurled like delicate fans of motion. Its body, a soft wash of warm brown, contrasts with the darker, finely etched feathers of its wings, which arc upward in a moment of suspended grace. The bird’s slender form is taut with purpose, its tail feathers trailing like brushstrokes behind a swift gesture. A distinct eye stripe—sharp and dark—cuts across its face, lending the sparrow a look of focused determination as it navigates the tangle of tree branches around it. The background is a lattice of bare limbs, blurred just enough to suggest depth without stealing attention from the bird’s crisp silhouette. Light filters through the canopy, catching the sparrow’s feathers in a soft shimmer, illuminating the texture and tension of its flight. The image freezes a fleeting instant—wings mid-beat, body mid-arc—as if the sparrow were a note held in the air, a sovereign messenger between earth and sky. The photograph bears the mark “© Swede's Photographs” in the lower left corner, a quiet signature to this moment of wild precision." - Microsoft Copilot

Also from my Toronto archives, when the skyline hadn't yet mushroomed helter skelter, a monochrome 10 second exposure taken from Toronto Island. Goodnight, awesome Bluesky. #photography #blueskyphotography #toronto #cities #nightphotography #skylines #canada #blackandwhite #reflections #lakeontario

Love the textures on this old building in Centro Mazatlan! Such a beautiful, weathered look. Mazatlan is an old "Colonial" city, one of the only actually on the coast.

I'm drawing every day but mostly for projects that are in progress so I'll probably use this year's #ArtAdventCalendar event to look back at my favorite drawings I did this year, starting with this one! I had the idea of the outline of a white cat against a garden and it slowly evolved into this.
Drawing of a white cat sitting in a garden with flowers in the blue, pink, and white colors of the trans pride flag. Flowers from top are blue hydrangea, pink roses, white snowbells, pink daisies and blue lobelia. The cat has one blue eye and one green eye.

My artwork of a Sunset on Mars. Dust and small particles suspended in the Martian atmosphere scatter light in the direction of the Sun forward. This creates a blue halo around the setting Sun, rendering a Martian landscape quite different from its terrestrial equivalent.

Digital illustration of a barren, rocky Martian landscape. The sun is about to set (or just risen). Unlike on Earth, sunsets and sunrises on Mars can often appear blue, as here. Art copyright Mark A Garlick

Spent last week in Sunderland visiting my Aunties who were too ill to be at Mum’s funeral.
We did plenty reminiscing & laughed a lot despite the sadness.
My ‘many’ cousins took me out,got me tipsy and we took long walks by the sea.
It did me the world of good.
Often, others know what’s best for you🤍

Rocky cliffs and a whole community of seabirds 🐦🌊
The coastline at Sheringham Lighthouse is so alive — waves below, birds above, and ocean air everywhere.

🪶 The #birdoftheday theme is #Reflections, and it's #MallardMonday, so this shot volunteered. #birds #photography
A pair of mallards swimming on fairly still water, giving a good reflection. The female is in front, and they are swimming left to right.

steps lead up to entrance of a single-story, rustic wooden church. tall, narrow arched windows with white frames are visible on both sides of the doorway. the church sits on dry, light-colored dirt and is surrounded by yellowish-brown brush. the sky is a vibrant blue with white clouds. the methodist church structure was built in 1882 and was one of the two churches in town. there were about 65 saloons. the last standard church service was conducted in 1932, when all but a few families had left bodie….

I'm ordering a final wave of prints in a day or 2 in hopes that I'll be able to get them to you by Christmas. Here's one I'm thinking of ordering, shot at Kwisitis (aka Wickaninnish Beach) in November of last year. #Ucluelet #Tofino #VancouverIsland
