A close up of an embroidery project in a hoop. There are three partial colourful circles. There is some red-violet thread in a needle sticking into the black fabric in the central circle.
Day 24 of #ArtAdventCalendar is my current stitching WiP. I'm working on it in the waiting room for the ferry 🎄🎁🤶

An acrylic painting of a waxing crescent moon on a circular canvas. The craters on the moon are not realistic. It's a vibe-based moon. In the shadow of the moon is a purple barred owl. Surrounding the moon is a matte sky with stars. The painting is hanging in a blue wall
Day 21 of #ArtAdventCalendar is my acrylic painting of my barred owl moon fine 2022

A piece of textile art made of lots of different embroidery stitches. It looks like there's a creek in the lower left corner and a fallen tree in the lower right. With some (oversized) purple flowers in the middle
Day 19 of #ArtAdventCalendar is this like embroidery thing I made.. I was trying to make a forest creek from above. I don't think it was successful as such, but I like the textures

Many layers of acrylic paint applied to a canvas with a palette knife. Dominant colours are pinks greens and grays.
Day 18 of #ArtAdventCalendar is another one I'm not sure wholly counts as art, but I've been putting all my leftover paint on this canvas for a couple years. I think it's done and I'm starting a new one in the new year

An embroidered mermaid, mostly in black thread. Her hair is filled in with orange, red & purple thread. The mermaid is stretching in a circle shape with her tail fins almost touching her head. The stitching has lots of little mistakes and you can still see some of the mostly erased pencil under-drawing
Day 17 of #ArtAdventCalendar is one of the mermaids I embroidered a while ago.. maybe 2021?

An acrylic painting of a waning crescent moon on a matte sky background. In the shadowed party of the moon are two bunnies, blue & pink with some clover behind them
Day 16 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a moon painting from 2023 before I decided to challenge myself by making the moon more realistic. It's more of a vibes-based moon :P

A hand holding a card with a cutout window. Inside the circular window are pink cosmo flowers on a green background. The flowers are painted on cotton with watercolors. The details of the flowers are embroidered on top. Written in black cursive on the lower right edge of the circle is "Happy birthday Amy!" A pen is hooked on the corner of the card. In the background of the photo is grass & a sidewalk
Day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar is a card I made for one of my sisters back in 2023. It's watercolor on cotton with embroidered details

A stylistic acrylic painting on a square clear-primed canvas. In the middle of a simple maze made of white bricks is a flat black silhouette of a bust of a minotaur. The minotaur has simple white tattoos all over. Coming out of the minotaur's back is a sword. On the bricks of the maze is illegible graffiti in charcoal
Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar is the first painting I did when I decided to take up acrylic painting in 2020 (I was, and remain, nervous about my use of colour lol)

A little yellow orange mushroom growing out of bright green moss with some brickwork in the background. The kinda blurry focus makes it look a bit whimsical

What's with the roses? I've been enjoying painting different things in the dark part of the moon and I saw some wild roses on a pleasant day out

A circular acrylic painting of a waning gibbous moon on a matte black to blue gradient sky with stars. In the shadow of the moon are painted a few pink nootka roses. The painting is hanging on a light blue wall
Day 12 of #ArtAdventCalendar is another moon painting this one is from November 2023. The nootka roses don't look quite right but 🤷♀️ 😅

A pen & ink drawing of a donkey laden down with bags and baskets of books. The drawing has no background and you can see the blue pencil sketch under the ink. In blue pencil, it says Burrobiblio in the lower right
