Haven't had much time to paint this year and now am finally get it back to it. Here's a new one. Vistas - 16x20 Acrylic.
An abstract painting featuring vibrant colors with mixed green, blue, and purple hues. The composition suggests a landscape, with bold brush strokes creating depth and texture across mountains and water.

Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar Evening Enters. 40x40 Acrylic Painted in 2024. #AbstractArt #painting
The top portion of the canvas is dominated by deep blue tones with areas of dark brown and black swirling across it, resembling a sky or atmosphere. The center of the image includes patches of lighter blue, green, and white, creating a sense of movement or flow that suggests water or ice. The brown area continues along the right side of the painting, contrasting against a darker blue section on the lower half.

Day 20 of #ArtAdventCalendar 48x30 Acrylic Painted in 2022. #AbstractArt #landscape #painting. I didn't name this one which always seems tricky to me.
The image is an abstract painting of a mountainous landscape. The composition features a wide range of colors, including blues, greens, browns, and oranges. In the foreground, vibrant green fields are interspersed with winding brown paths and deep blue water bodies. The middle ground showcases abstract depictions of mountains, incorporating shades of blue, teal, and purple. The background is a soft, muted blend of pastel colors—light pinks and lavenders.

A painting of roses from my garden. I think I’m as proud of growing them, as I am of painting them.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 19

Winter 2019
Sunset as the tide is out. Foreground is almost in shadow but the tide pools, interrupted by a breakwater or log, reflect the remaining light. There is a heron in the water bottom right. The sky is peachy along the horizon and there is a large dark mass of cloud arching over the sky.

Happy #ArtAdventCalendar day 19! Today, I offer up a painting I did that explores the intersection of bioluminescence and virus/antibiotic research. I am a fan of science (and cures for things.) #sciart
An acrylic on canvas painting with the ocean on the left (where bioluminescence was discovered) and flowers and a lab rat in the foreground. The flowers represent the life cycle. The rat represents research. On the left is a brief explanation of how bioluminescence is used in lab research to hunt for the cures to different diseases.

One of my favourite trees in one of my favourite parks
A fountain pen drawing in black ink on white paper. It’s a tree that looks old and gnarly, many of its branches are intertwined and seem to form knots almost and the leaves are hanging down in long tresses.
