It's been a busy day at Marsh Madness, the annual sandhill crane festival hosted by Friends of Goose Pond. It's our first big show of the year and we debuted a few new magnets and stickers! 🐑🎨πŸͺΆ

A mixed media artwork featuring three hand sculpted Larger Pacific Striped Octopus attached to a vintage tea cup.

Larger Pacific Striped Octopus are dark brown with white. Their iconic pattern is instantly recognizable. A white mantle with dark stripes that move across the eyes and down to a dark brown arm web and arms, which are covered in white spots.

This is my linocut of the Greek myth of Persephone holding an opened pomegranate.  The block was inked 'Γ  la poupΓ©e', with different colours applied directly to a single block. Persephone is deep indigo, with red pomegranate, lips and poppy and golden wheat.

For #artAdventCalendar: For the first day of winter, it’s the myth of Persephone. This is a linocut of the Greek myth of Persephone. The ancient Greek goddess Persephone, beloved daughter of Demeter was kidnapped by Hades god of the underworld, and taken to his home where she was tempted with many 🧡

Day 21 #ArtAdventCalendar it would seem that people seem to prefer my #petportraits rather than my 3D art so here is another dog. Sadly he has gone over the rainbow bridge but he has some of his real hair in his portrait

Back to pencil & watercolour, this a good stripey girl who cleans up the dead fruit around neighbourhood. Wasps should be appreciated for their services. Just no pet, no boop, ok? Ok.

A male downy woodpecker flys like a missile towards us with his wings folded tight against his body. His black and white markings contrast with the small red patch on the back of his head.

Why use wings when you can just engage missile mode?
This downy woodpecker male was foraging among the spruce trees, and decide that for this short journey, wings were not needed!

For the #ArtAdventCalendar: a brush pen sketch of a belted kingfisher, doodled as part of a past #Inktober challenge. I’ve spent much time attempting to get close enough to a kingfisher for a photo – and still so far the best I’ve achieved is this courtroom sketch. #birds
