#ArtAdventCalendar Day 10: This spring, we had a day of torrential rains and flash flooding, and this flock of American white pelicans had to pause its migration and hunker down at a lake until conditions were better. This shot was taken the next day, as they lifted off to head northwest. 🪶

I am certainly not an artist, but I am a crafty type. Lately, I’ve been creating (rather adorable! lol) art from the sea glass, shells and rocks I have collected during my recent travels. Here’s one. #ArtAdventCalendar #seaglass #seaglassart #laundry #newfoundland #crafty #eastcoastkin #Smartist

Sharing one of the most fun paintings I did this year for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 6 ❤️ This was inspired by a Lake Bemidji Common Merganser that was found with 76 ducklings a few years ago. I originally planned for 30, but decided 20 was enough! #BirdArt #SciArt #ArtYear #AnimalArt #Watercolor #Art

Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a tribute to a dear friend, Joe, whose memorial service is today. Not great art, but the story is in Alt text if you're curious. #Labyrinth #RIPJoe

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Today for #ArtAdventCalendar here is our 2023 screen print of a black-crowned night heron. Just vibing in a swamp. Six colors, edition of 37. 🐡🎨🪶

Day 5 of #ArtAdventCalendar Sometimes I do something more traditional, for a change and a challenge. This one I did in pastel club last Spring, from one of my photos.😊☀️ “River Valley” soft pastel 5x5 linktr.ee/sunshyneart #Art #PastelPainting #landscapes #scape #ArtYear

For day four of #ArtAdventCalendar my drawing of a juvenile red-shouldered hawk, done with black and sepia inks. I made the reference photo from far away with a telephoto lens; the parents were teaching this baby to hunt, and he/she was crouching by my back fence, complaining loudly.

And for #ArtAdventCalendar day 2, some fishing lures 😅 Variations on this design have trended on social media for a while. I used creme polishes for the bases, some with gradients, and topped them all with a sheer holographic magnetic polish. Then I added details using more creme polishes.

I’m late to #Artadventcalendar! I didn’t realize it was already December 😅 Here’s a friend of mine (also for #coloraDay #yellowThu) #artyear #EastCoastKin #macro #spider

I'm counting down my favorite images from the year. #27 the one and only Cinnamon Teal I've seen. Port Aransas, TX.

What a cool puffin. Can mine join the #ArtAdventCalendar Day 4 puffin party please? Not sure he's going to share his fish though...
