Es gibt eine Liste! #animalmarch #kleinekunstklasse Unter Berücksichtigung der letzten Jahre, der genannten Wünsche und höchst subjektiven Erwägungen präsentiere ich die diesjährige Liste:

Really enjoyed yesterday's UCL Illuminated light show to celebrate UCL's bicentenary - some spectacular views of the portico #UCL200 @ucl.ac.uk

Immersing myself in sunlight as I eat fresh fruit and then painting it is my happy place. These days I'll take any fuckin happy place I can find. #ArtYear #fruit #oilpainting #stilllife #art #selftaught

Fresh from The Survey of London and @uclpress.bsky.social - This beautiful monograph of University College London: The Bloomsbury Campus. A rich history of UCL's main campus. #ucl200

ARTISTS! Let’s do an art share! Life is heavy, but we need to also make room for joy and beauty. Let’s share, support, and find each other! Spread the post to reach the most! 💙

here's one of my favorite things i've done recently!

Some of my fave Birbs from January's #birbfest. Paintings cut out and sitting on the easel. Collage them together or straight up on the wall? #birbfest2026 #oilpaint

Finally had a moment to put all of my #birbfest2026 #CubistBirds creations onto one poster. That was fun, I learnt a ton about these wonderful species and I love how they all look together #birbfest #BirdArt #SciArt

While I didn't manage to paint all the birds for #birbfest2026, making these was still very rewarding, and it helped me learn, and let go of some perfectionism, create art faster and looser. #sketchbook #birdart #art #SciArt #TraditionalArt #watercolor #ink #watercolour

Last day of #birbfest... I guess it was fitting this one took me the longest 😂 An Indian peafowl showing off! #birds Thank you to everyone who has followed along with me and the other artists in #BirbFest2026 I love birds and I love art so it has been a ton of fun!

#Birbfest Day 31: A Fanfare of Feathers 🦚✨ Closing out a month of birds with the ultimate showstopper: The Indian Peafowl It’s been a wild, winged journey to this grand finale. Thank you for coming along!🎨🦅 #ArtSky #Birbfest2026 #Peacock #TraditionalArt #LisabellaRusso #BirdArt #AcrylicPainting

And because I couldn't help myself, here's the bonus edition of the #birbfest2026 finale with a peahen and a peacock, clearly in love 🫶🏼 Such cool birds! #birbfest #SciArt #BirdArt

Last day of #birbfest2026 with a spectacular bird - the Indian peafowl, commonly known as peacock A male when his long and shiny tail in full glory #birbfest #BirdArt #SciArt

And for the final day of #Birbfest, an Indian peacock Alright, friends, what are we drawing in February? #Birbfest2026 #illustration #sketchbook #birds

she IS born with it 💅 Day 31 of #Birbfest2026 - Indian Peafowl #SciArt #birds 🪶

day 30 of #birbfest2026 with an oystercatcher. He's a shy guy, he told me to ask you if maybe you'd like to go search for sea shells together? 😶 #art #birdart #birbfest #sciart

Today's #birbfest bird is oystercatcher with no further instructions so I picked a Magellanic Oystercatcher because it had a lot of black which I thought would be easier to draw (when will I learn that black is never really black? 😂) #BirbFest2026 ref photo by user paulomascaretti on inaturalist

Beautiful architecture and down to earth (pun intended) - brilliantly written up by @edwinheathcote.bsky.social 👏 giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Day 30 of #birbfest2026 with this Eurasian oystercatcher Never thought I'd make it all the way through #birbfest - just one more to go tomorrow #BirdArt #SciArt

Another recycled drawing for today's #birbfest as I was busy drawing the Birdwhisperer monthly challenge and drawing two birds in one day seemed a bit much. Here's a Little Penguin from a few years ago but I think it is cute #BirbFest2026

it’s the day of my favorite bird so I did a little sketch 💙🧡 #birbfest2026

A firm favourite and another bird I've seen in real life - a kingfisher dashing along a freshwater canal delivering drinking water to central London. It made me incredibly happy seeing this fantastic creature 🩵🤎 Here he is sitting majestically on a branch #birbfest2026 #birbfest #SciArt #BirdArt

Another Australian mate for #birbfest2026 - the New Holland Honeyeater #birbfest #BirdArt #SciArt

A New Holland Honeyeater for #birbfest. I always enjoy the angry bird effect that happens when you get a face-on picture of birds. Reference photo by user melissadoherty on inaturalist. #BirbFest2026 #SciArt #BirdArt #birds

Nuthatches - what's not to love? Amazing soft pastel colouring, an eye-stripe like a bandit, hanging upside down on trees! I was really pleased seeing them in real life in Belgium recently Day 23 of #birbfest2026 #birbfest #SciArt #BirdArt

An incredibly important read on workplace design "Inclusivity begins with the basics of workplace design. (...) Before you talk about “next-gen workplace experience,” ask yourself: can everyone see, hear, move, breathe and focus here without struggle?" www.leesmanindex.com/articles/par...

A Galah cockatoo for day 22 of #birbfest2026 Thought I might have seen a Galah cockatoo in real life, when I was in Australia in 2019 but consulting my photos it turns out it was their cousin, a Gang-Gang cockatoo (grey plumage on breast and body) 🩷🩶 #birbfest #BirdArt #SciArt

Missed yesterday so here's a 2-for-1 special for #birbfest: Ornate Fruit Dove and Galah Cockatoo! It's been fun experimenting with some different styles. Hope it is also fun to look at! 🙂 #BirbFest2026

Day 21 of #BirbFest2026 - Ornate Fruit Dove I drew this on physical paper because my PC won't power on🥲 컴퓨터 전원이 들어오지 않아 색연필로 그리게 됐습니다.. #birbfest #birdart #birds #doves

21. Ornate Fruit Dove: Danielle bought too much at the grocery store. I think she needs ONE more fruit though, just in case. #birbfest #art #mixedmedia

Day 21 of #birbfest2026 - an ornate fruit dove from the jungle of Papua New Guinea, exactly the right kind of colourful to brighten up a dreary London day of January rain #birbfest #SciArt #BirdArt
