Happy new year. You can't defeat every enemy outright, & you can't win at everything. But you can swear at everything... Here's a thread of no context profanity & cusses (& occasional bugs/lichen/etc) in case you need help with that in 2026. 1. Rancid wankspangled dicklimpet

Another Work in Progress shot of a painting I’m working on. This pun might be a bit more obscure…

Last art of the year! #SciArt As a fun pastime on my Christmas break, I looked into basal ceratopsians a bit and doodled them. Turns out they vary from cuddly little guys to beasts that would have made a mighty (and very bitey) steed. Close-ups of each one in thread 🧵:

Finished 'Iggy Poppies' a 30" oil painting on panel.

After taking a break from the studio, a self-portrait is an easy way for me to get back into painting. #artofselfportraiure #oilpainting #portrait

Happy holidays and thanks for participating in #artadventcalendar

Today, I'm sharing a piece that was originally inspired by serving on jury duty. Yes, inspiration can come from anywhere. #ArtAdventCalendar #art #ink #drawing

Merry Christmas everyone ✨ The owl, 30*40 cm my oldest figurative oil painting, from 2018 #ArtAdventCalendar

I hope everyone is having a lovely Christmas Eve! For #artadventcalendar day 24 here's my favourite of my recent still life paintings. I love collecting random items and grouping them so they seem like they were meant to be together 😊 20"x24". #day24 #art #painting #oilpainting #vintage #collection

#ArtAdventCalendar 22: a tumbling-blocks geometric #RugHooking work-in-progress. Started in February 2020, IIRC.

Day 24 #ArtAdventCalendar My yearly self portrait at 34 reflected my main avenue of activism during the first T administration, street medicine. A nontypical and ill-advised performance, ahead of its peak prominence. I don't regret a NYE bummer in your relief feed.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 24 I haven’t even completely finished yet but I consider my bead embroidery masterpiece: a beaded version of Auguste Toulmouche’s The Reluctant Bride. I beaded this in 4 sections and transferred and joined them on the backing fabric which is in a stained 16” quilting hoop.

#ArtAdventCalendar #Day23 My very last piece of art in 2024 was a pet portrait for a kiriban winner on this account. I drew him surrounded by floral local to his home. I just love that mohawk! #guineapig #art #petportrait

Both arms now. Still has a lot of smoothing to do everywhere though. But I think I'll start to do the base first, the small animals, the book. And then smoothing again.

For today’s #ArtAdventCalendar I’d like to share a mini painting inspired by the Columbia River Gorge. ‘Camassia Quamash’ A perennial herb, native to western N. America in large areas of southern Canada & the northwestern United States. A staple food to First Nations people, & pollinators love it!

Will you forget me when I'm gone? An icon in hommage to the cerulean warbler, a gentle little songbird whose place among us is threatened. 16 inches, wood panel & 24k gold leaf #birds #Wildlife #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #TraditionalArt #OilPainting #EastCoastKin #ArtAdventCalendar #smArtist

For #artadventcalendar day 19 here's one of my recent still life oil paintings - "In Grandad's Shed". I love nostalgic things, worn and used things, that tactile feeling you get from something that's been used a lot. #day19 #art #painting #oilpainting #stilllife #vintage

1/2: My porcini & ferns painting for both #artadventcalendar & #forestfriday One of my favs! This piece got me my first gallery invite! The gallery owner was out walking his dog & saw my work in a coffee shop.
