Today I am finishing this #painting ... I know, it looks suspiciously finished, but it is not. It is 99.9% finished. This weekend we brave the 0.1%. And then I will ... hold your breath ... be selling prints. And maybe the jigsaw puzzle suggested, because we do love puzzles in this house. #artyear

Day 7 of sharing my #art for #artadventcalendar ... in a bird mood today. I love birds 🐦 ... another favourite #painting. I really enjoyed painting this, and it shows 💜💫 #creativemagic

Acrylic on canvas, "Love Birds" intuitive painting of two red birds in a forest surrounded by flowers in an illustrative colourful fantasy style. An invitation to cherish the abundance and diversity of nature and the relationship of all living things as part of a magical ecosystem.

I am reawakening the socials like a hibiscus blooming in winter. Before anyone tells me it is not winter. I live in Australia. And yes, the hibiscus blooms improbably. Things GROW here in winter. Summer is the death season. So I grow. I've been tending a THING. It is still in bud ... slow bloom 🌸

Hibiscus flower plucked from the garden this winter, and added to my eclectic decor styling of miniature teapots, candles, statues and ... of course ... a painting. The proud bloom is displayed in a curious violet and white striped blown glass vase sitting on top of a polished slice of a geode. Don't ask why, I don't know. These things find me. The geode coaster was abandoned by the previous owner of my house, who for some reason put it in the pool shed. The remainder - things people gift me when they declutter their house or my adventures into the charity store for treasures. Wooden candlesticks - improbable but true. I like improbable truths. Like tropical blooms in a temperate winter.

I do not need any more books or picture frames, and yet ... I have an obsession with velvet and the colour purple, so when I saw a $2 frame at the charity store with purple velvet 💜 Also, if the internet goes down, I have a library to keep me amused and educated for 100 years. #books #thrifting

Photo of a picture frame with purple velvet inlay, a book on ancient Egypt and instructional book on oil painting, placed on vintage Persian rug. Afternoon sun casting shadows because I am too impatient to take photos in ideal lighting.

I've been avoiding painting, so last Sunday I went in my arty studio and said "you will paint". After about 5hrs of rearranging paint brushes and paints, browsing art books, starting up a painting class video, journaling about not painting, a nausea spinning panic attack ... painted. #artyear

Intuituve painting in progress. Acrylic on canvas. A veiled figure wearing a geometric patterned cloak emerging from foliage and flowers looking down on a peacock like bird.

Parked at the local train station recently and thought ... damn, when did the horses disappear? When I grew up, everyone had a friend or a neighbour who owned a horse. Just memories and old road signs now. Time marches on.

I've been in denial that it is March, but here goes ... a combo deal of woven, button, bead, and soft ... #artjournal cover Most of my journals have stiff board covers layered in collage. Something different - a soft stitched cover! Not bound pages in yet.

Welcome to Makers mARTch! I can't lie, I'm so excited about this. Prompts inspired by all avenues of art-making modes for you to interpret in your medium and style of choice. Show us how you relate to the prompts in whichever way feels best. Bonus points for trying something new. Let's do this 💙

A vibrant digital graphic for Makers mARTch, featuring the Day 1 prompt: "Woven" in bold, distressed purple text at the center. The background is a collage of colorful crafting supplies, including spools of thread, buttons, scissors, embroidery floss, beads, and fabric. Two circular cutouts on opposite corners showcase a symmetrical, layered paper design in bright colors, resembling a decorative mandala or woven pattern. At the top, the challenge title "MAKERS MARTCH" is displayed in large, textured purple capital letters. Below it, a tagline in mixed black and pink text reads: "Any medium, any style, any way you like; new or old, soft or bold. A prompt a day to create in your way." At the bottom, two hashtags #MakersmARTch and #MkrsmARTch are prominently displayed, followed by the event host’s credit: "Hosted by: That Anxious Artist @whitneyyoh.bsky.social" The overall design is colorful, textured, and layered, emphasizing creativity, materials, and artistic exploration. 🎨✨ Let me know if you'd like any tweaks! 😊
