Day 9 Made in a glass fusing workshop at cambridge-glass-studio.co.uk. The very talented Michelle Matvi is so encouraging in the learning of new techniques and experimenting with ideas. #ArtAdventCalendar #FusedGlass #StainedGlass

#ArtAdventCalendar day 9 Radiant Rhubarb, 24x36, Oil on Gallery Canvas I adore rhubarb and had SO much this summer. I gathered it up, brought it in and this painting was the end result (before it was eaten and/or frozen). #canadianartist #albertaartist #oilpainter Sivarulrasa.com

#ArtAdventCalendar Dec 9 While-lined Sphinx Moth in watercolor.

Day 9 #ArtAdventCalendar This wheel-thrown stoneware vase was a fun glaze trial using alternating brush stokes and random spots of cobalt and iron oxide stains and a wax resist over a white base glaze.

#ArtAdventCalendar I really got into painting pottery this year 🌱🌿🌳

Another one from way back! Fencepost with bracket fungus. I often try to capture the texture of wood and trees in my work, this was a deeply dull vase until the bracket fungus arrived (I don't always feel 100% in control of what's being made tbh..🤣 👀) #ArtAdventCalendar #PottersOfBluesky

Day 8 is 1/3 the way through #ArtAdventCalendar! Close Encounter 40×48in 101x122cm Oil on Canvas 2021 #art #painting

#ArtAdventCalendar For Day 8, I present an image from my plant pattern series, featuring the striped stalks of a ‘Peppermint’ chard. In the limited space of our urban garden, I choose to grow colourful vegetables that are uncommon in the grocery store.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 8 I made this embroidered aerial view of a shoreline a few years back. It includes different yarn fibres for the waves and patterned fabric rocks.

Day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar Feeling abstracty this morning. "Helios" 😊☀️ alcohol inks on ceramic tile linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #ArtYear #AbstractPainting #Alcoholinks #AlcoholinkPainting #Abstract #Landscape

Day 8 #artAdventCalendar x-ray #crystallographer Dorothy Mary Crowfoot Hodgkin (1910-1994), Nobel laureate in #chemistry for her models of biomolecules like penicillin, vitamin B12 & insulin. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci She was “captured for life by chemistry and crystals,” in childhood, 1 of 2 girls allowed to 🧵

Day 7 Traditional Reusche glass paint powder can be mixed with water or oil and used with a dip pen or paintbrush. This was kiln fired and slumped in one go, happily a sucessful test. #ArtAdventCalendar #StainedGlass

#ArtAdventCalendar day 7. Watercolor sketches of a primary trio of songbirds, all seen within an hour one spring day 2025. #birdart #watercolour

#artAdventCalendar Day 7 Since yesterday’s stained glass Steller’s Jay saw some love, here’s an etched glass version to go with😊 My hands draw each design, cut each stencil and etch each line. (No computer CNC machines for me.) #art #glassArt #artYear #humanArt

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 7 My favorite guitar and favorite guitar strap from traditionally tanned hide, made by someone unknown with so much love. Behind is a wooden cupboard made by my husband. Homegrown, 28x22, Oil on Gallery Canvas #albertaartist #canadianartist Sivarulrasa.com

Ghost pipes. 12 x12 in, water soluble encaustic on black prepped wood board. #artadventcalendar I actually saw the bee pollinating the flowers. It's easy to forget they are flowers. #bloomsky #botanicalart

How about my largest commission piece ever for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 6 morning. Bison Valley 84x46 in 213x117cm Oil on Canvas 2024

Day 7 #ArtAdventCalendar Enjoying the view from a Nigel Pass hike last summer.

Day 6 #ArtAdventCalendar I experimented with two contrasting glazes on this wheel-thrown raku-fired vase: an iridescent metallic blue with flashes of red-violet on the body, and a shiny white crackle on the wide rim and interior.

#ArtAdventCalendar, from 2022. This one took a while to render and I’m still proud of it. 🐡

This lovely image is the definition of prairie spring. 💜

This glaze and pattern!

Gorgeous image!

Beautiful creations

Day 5 #ArtAdventCalendar My first foray into learning pen and ink, using a crow quill nib and three different techniques (described in alt text) to illustrate the rare native fawn lily I found on Vancouver Island. I need plenty more practice to control the flow of ink.

Day 4 #ArtAdventCalendar Memory from a hot summer day

This painting shines!

Beautiful piece!

Winter’s low angle light really makes your sculpture glow here. 🌾✨

Wonderful theme for your beautiful illustrations!

Lovely piece

Day 2 #ArtAdventCalendar Every November, I plant an amaryllis bulb indoors, just to observe its spear-shaped stalk slowly emerge from the bulb, tipped with a bud that eventually swells and reveals a cluster of magnificent trumpet-shaped blossoms during the depths of winter.

Did you know that Alberta has many species of carnivorous plants?

Spectacular image ✨

If NASA made pottery this would be it. Born from stardust, raku-fired and galaxy inspired, 30 Doradus Tarantula can find its orbit in your space. #space #sciart #pottery

It’s that glorious time of year, when the alpine larch trees (Larix lyallii), a deciduous conifer, turn gold before shedding their soft, fine needles. #nativeplants #photography

Good morning, October.
