#ArtAdventCalendar day 8. I made this during my PhD fieldwork. It’s painted with bitumen collected from the tar sands (or oil sands) in Alberta. At the time, the Albertan government had just announced a wolf cull to protect endangered wood bison, which are in fact threatened by resource development.

#ArtAdventCalender day 8 #artistsofBlueSky #oilpainting This is Finnegan, the younger of my two labs. It was a joy to paint him. He is such a good boy.

Day 6 of #ArtAdventCalendar: I was watching this Grizzly Bear and her cub when she stopped for a moment, sat up, and seemed to just take in the view as the sun began to set. #wildlife

Day 7 of the #ArtAdventCalendar. An edible entry this time around. These are vanilla cupcakes with American buttercream that I made for my sister’s birthday in April. I don’t do decorative piping often, but when I do, it’s always nice to challenge myself and these were fun.

I’m of two minds about this “male loneliness crisis” or whatever. On one hand it’s pretty clear that broken social relations (community, romantic, whatever) is a social problem. On the other hand dawg you can’t sit in the house unwashed gaming with fascists and expect to get any play from women.

Sunday greetings with best wishes. For the 6th day of #ArtAdventCalendar I submit this collage. I made it as an assignment for an art class at Oxnard College. It is made of magazine clippings. Scorpion 18” x 24” Collage on Canvas #Art #Scorpio #Collage #OxnardCollegeArts #BlueskyArt

Time for some of my #plants I think, for #ArtAdventCalendar day 7. I’m a plant geek myself, and own… Too many. Large #garden, probably over 150 #houseplants. I did a whole series of succulents in a rainbow! They are amazing. #HumanMadeArt #HumanNotAI #procreate #DigitalPainting 🐡 🌱 #succulent 🪴

#ArtAdventCalendar For Sunday Fishing Bear

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

An incredible piece of writing, a gift of a sort I had not known it was possible to receive

OK, let me join #ArtAdventCalendar, late, even if I might not catch up entirely! Gonna go for a #SciArt zine illustrations theme. 1. Kentish glory moth. No longer found in Kent, or indeed most other places in the UK. Now scarce and found only in Scotland, if I recall correctly.

What do we have for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 6? Tomatoes! My sad attempt at growing cherry tomatoes on my windowsill! I got about nine total tomatoes after weeks of fussing (and fighting aphids and fungus.) Figured I might as well paint them before picking them, at least! (Both watercolor)
