Weβve got more than enough here for both of us! βοΈ
Christmas can be a difficult time of year for so many.
This year our family is missing someone we lost this year, as are so many other families.
Itβs ok if you donβt feel like celebrating the holidays. Know you are not alone.
Be kind. You never know what someone is dealing with.
Hugs to you β€οΈ
π€£ Thatβs my urge too!
Thank you π
A vibrant, stylized nighttime forest painting in shades of blue and green. Tall trees rise around a gently winding stream that reflects the deep blue sky. Swirling brushstrokes in the sky suggest movement and moonlight, while bright greens and cool blues illuminate the forest floor. The scene feels quiet and atmospheric, evoking stillness and anticipation.
Day 24 of my #ArtAdventCalendar β¨π
βNocturne In Blueβ β a painting for Christmas Eve.
That moment when the world goes still, light feels closer, and everything seems to be holding its breath in anticipation.

Brightly coloured ornaments on a bunch of paper bags laid out on a floor
Day 24 #ArtAdventCalendar is an array of 50 full-sized paper bags gussied-up with acrylic paint to hopefully bring joy to a few people when they receive their Meals on Wheels delivery.
Merry Christmas to all & thanks to @jayispainting.earthskyart.ca for the December diversion.

This piece was in our main library in 2015 for a couple of months & a woman told me she would stop by on her lunch break & just sit & look at it almost daily because it gave her some peace. Few better compliments.

A combination drawing of mandalas and zentangles overlapping in different sized boxes. Black ink on a white background.
Iβve been working on this one off and on for a couple weeks. Iβm not sure Iβm completely done with it, but thought I might include it for #ArtAdventCalendar before itβs over.
Lovely β€οΈ
Today, as I always do, I dropped a bag of empty bottles behind my studio which is a block away from a bottle depot that is frequented by the far too many unhoused folks in this city. A young guy asked me if I was leaving them there and I said yes. help yourself. He said thank you so much.
It truly is. Iβm so scared about what 2026 will bring. We canβt survive another year of this government.
