This is Gracie. So much going on in those eyes.
I love this #februarty prompt.
I usually do the #eyes right away, so the piece comes alive. After that, it’s just fleshing it out.

A portrait of a dear friend. The light created so many interesting angles.
I miss her.

And it’s a wrap.
This guy was a lot of fun.
There were so many textures, ranges of focus and light, and colors.

I had time to start the bow tie last night 😊
I’m so grateful that I have something that brings me joy right now. And always.

Currently on my easel.
Finally a chance to get back to work on this guy. The patches of light and bokeh background are a lot of fun to play with, but I just want to get to the bow tie

I know I’m late, but had to play with all of these fabulous artists anyway. The light in this painting makes me happy.

Today’s #januarty prompt is #liquid, and I always thought the water on this one was interesting. So much texture and color for something fluid.

The shadows and reflections in this one were super interesting to play with, but I think #yellow makes all the difference. Love working with yellow. #januarty

What can I say? Those colors. The majesty. If any animal was put on this earth to be painted, it’s these beauties. Had to have one in my portfolio. The bokeh background is a bonus.

A whimsical painting for our newest family member’s room. Today’s prompt for #januarty is furniture. This was as close as I could come.

Today’s #Januarty prompt is clothing. I think this dapper dude fits the bill purrfectly. I know, I know. I couldn’t help it.

So difficult to choose today’s #januarty as animals are my favorite subject. I chose this guy because the entire process was a joy. That tongue! 🤣

I love exploring light. Translucence, reflection, shadows. It’s fascinating and fun to play with. Today’s #januarty prompt is #plant. The light glowing in these petals was so fun.

Today’s #januarty prompt of tool had me digging deep in the vault. I ran across these and thought “why not?”. During the pandemic, I painted rocks and hid them at parks for kids to find. They had little messages on the back and I got to trace them traveling the world when I couldn’t.

For the #pink prompt in this glorious #januarty, I selected this portrait of my grandson’s best friend Monster. He could have been triangles (have you noticed all of the triangles contained in a cat?) or texture, but I’m glad I saved him for pink.

Today’s prompt for #januarty is triangles. It’s pretty amazing and magical how many triangles you can find naturally occurring. This one’s kind of obvious, but I like the play of light and it makes me happy.

Day 8 of #Januarty and the theme of #tone
I like how cool colors still bring heat in this one.

Was able to hand deliver this piece over the holidays. I’m not sure my friend Charlie appreciated it as much as his human Irene did, but gifting it sure brought me a lot of joy. It was also really fun experimenting with techniques on velour.

Finally some time to get back on the easel. Love having family here and the holiday festivities, but I missed my peace.

This year’s #ArtAdventCalendar was such a wonderful experience. Discovering all of the incredible art and creative artists was special and I miss it already. Thank you @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for the magic.
I like the angle of this portrait. And the pups are pretty damn cute.
