The lighting in a space is always interesting. The beauty of seeing art in person: it shifts with the light, the space, the moment. Each viewing offers a new experience. artcomp.awardsplatform.com #exhibition #art #canadianartist #canadianart #ceramics #colour #connection

Here is the landscape photo that I took that inspired the 3 Cherryhill paintings. Do you have a preference on the style of painting 1, 2 or 3? #painting #art #artist #canadian #landscape #inspiration #abstract #expressionism #brushstrokes #textures #paletteknife #ArtYear

Here is the 3rd painting inspired by the same landscape as Cherryhill #1 and #2. This one was done only with a palette knife. Cherryhill #3 #painting #art #artist #canadian #landscape #inspired #abstract #oiloncanvas #paletteknife #FebruARTy #ArtYear #BlueskyArtShow #BlueskyArtNightMarket

After a very long hiatus of not painting or creating. I wanted to rediscover my creative process and style. Inspired by the same landscape as Cherryhill #1, here is another version. Cherryhill #2 #painting #landscape #artist #art #canadian #BlueSkyArtNightMarket #ArtYear #FebruArty #oil #canvas

After completing my BFA, I went through an event and I "lost" my creativity. Many many years later, I needed a painting for over my couch. This was inspired by a photo of the sky I took. Cherryhill #1 #art #artist #canadianart #artyear #blueskynightmarket #landscape #inspired #sky #abstract

It was a snow day today - all schools were closed. After a day of shovelling and entertaining my husky in the snow, it was nice to unwind with a tea and relax with a line drawing in my sketchbook #workinprogress #relaxation #linedrawing #sketchbook #linedrawing #art #artist #ArtYear #canadian

It's been 3 weeks since joining Bluesky, and I'm loving this platform so far. I just finished the #20pots to share my ceramic work. What other hashtags are artists using to share work?

I love making these bowls! Creating the lines are often a relaxing part of the process as I allow the form to guide me. The Gardiner Museum Shop asked for a set to sell. Grateful for the opportunity. linktr.ee/alanamar.arts #pottery #ceramics #clay #pottersofbluesky #blueskynightmarket #canadian

This set has 9 tiles that were slip cast from a plaster mould I made of the original sculpted design. The black line is used to disrupt the form and connect each tile. #pottery #ceramics #clay #slipcast #blackline #design #sculptural #connection #disruption #pottersofbluesky #art #artist #canadian

With this set, I wanted to explore the use of positive and negative space. The black line transforms into a white line when the surface changes from white to black. Then I used red marks to interrupt the surface. #pottery #ceramics #clay #nest #set #pottersofbluesky #art #artist #artyear #canadian

At a workshop the past summer, I got to experiment with using copper oxide in a smoke fire. I love the unpredictability of the colours that are going to appear depending on the amount of flame before snuffing it out. #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #smokefire #copperoxide #reaction #colourful

I have 2 bowls in my "Along the road..." series so far. These were inspired by a road trip to the east coast and translating watercolour paintings I did on that trip onto 3D clay surfaces. This one I continued the painting into the interior. #pottery #ceramics #pottersofbluesky #landscape #artist

Creating as part of a set, represents connection and belonging as part of the human experience. Slabs sculpted in wavy, fabric like patterns, then hand painted. #pottery #ceramics #clay #slab #sculpture #wavy #fabric #handpainted #colourful #blackline #art #artist #pottersofbluesky #canadian

The inspiration for this set of monochromatic sculptural bowls came after a road trip to Newfoundland and seeing the all the colourful seaside houses. #pottery #ceramics #clay #sculptural #monochromatic #set #jellybeanrow #inspiration #underglaze #abstract #art #canadianartist

My Interconnected Isolation #ceramics work was #inspired by sets of watercolour paintings I had done over the pandemic. I enjoyed the representation of connection through the colour blending, isolation represented with the disruption of the black line. #watercolour #painting #connection #art #artist

A few more pics of the set. Individually painted, but connect at the rim when they nest. Interconnected Isolation #pottery #ceramics #clay #wheelthrown #nestingbowls #handpainted #colour #linedesign #pottersofbluesky #art #artist #connection

Here is a process video of painting Interconnected Isolation on the bowl. The colours are layered, usually from lightest to darkest, the black line around the colour blends. #pottery #ceramics #underglaze #amaco #painting #abstract #decorate #pottersofbluesky #art #artist #progresspost #wip

A quick video on the decorative process. This process of making lines on various forms is one of my favorites - so satisfying! #pottery #clay #ceramics #amacovelvetunderglaze #jetblack #blackline #design #disrupted #connection #pottersofbluesky

As much as I love colour, I also love the way a black line can disrupt the form on its own. This set, like the others connect at the rim when nested. #pottery #ceramics #clay #slipcast #blackline #design #disrupted #nested #set #connection #pottersofbluesky
