Day five of #ArtAdventCalendar.

Here’s a stone I painted a reeeeeally long time ago.
On a light grey pebble is a painting of a rising full moon with a silhouetted hare in front of it. The colours are monochrome, and there are lots of stars in the sky. There are silhouetted trees of either side of the hare.

Back in 2017, I experienced Virtual Reality for the first time, via the PlayStation VR. So I illustrated my experience through the googles.

I love this pic of her behind the screen door. It makes it feel like a canvas painting.

A brown Viszla dog sits pensively in a doorway - a very rare state. The soft light and door screen maks it look like a painting

Misty morning in Dead Tree Field. It’s not easy getting a photo of the field - lots of shrubbery in the way. But I love this field, especially the gnarley dead tree on the left. And there’s always birds!
#Scape #ArtAdventCalendar #Mono #BlackAndWhite #Photography #Countryside #LandscapePhotography
A black and white photo of a field. There are trees dotted around - in the foreground on the right and more in the background, another one to the right and a few to the left. Most of the trees are still hanging on to some leaves. There is one tree, in amongst the trees on the left, that is long dead. Its gnarly branches make good perches for birds and home for a lot of invertebrates. There is a patch of mist on the left, hanging low over the grasses, sorrel and dock, which have long gone to seed. The the far distance are birds flying low across the horizon. The photo was done in mono to add to the wintry moodiness.

Winter morning, worth running for, and I don't run!!
More info in the #alttext
Sunrise through the bare winter trees. The silhouettes of trees frame this photo, in the foreground along the horizon. This was worth the running Sky (my dog) and I did to reach the outskirts of town in time to photograph!! The sky is filled with clouds which soak up and reflect the glow of the rising sun - oranges and peach tones, stunning 😍

Day 5 of #ArtAdventCalendar

This one is for the girl who sat next to me in high school. Even today, I still call her "Tutu" (bunny in Chinese) and she calls me "Maomao" (kitty in Chinese). Years later, my best friend back then was long gone, but she's always been there for me

#watercolor #artsky

The Verrazano Bridge at night in fog. I lived near that bridge in Bay Ridge Brooklyn and I loved shooting it in all kinds of weather and times of day. This was probably around 2007-ish.

Another Vancouver Island painting. Near Sooke. This one resides in BC and was a joy to paint.
An orange and red sky glows behind a dark coastline. In the foreground, the colours of the sky reflect into the bay.

Two crocheted axolotls, one tiny one in gray yarn stacked on the back of a slightly larger pink one with dark pink fringe on the gills, feet, and legs. They both have black safety eyes and are on a wooden table.
