‘BURRUTTJI IN A BILLABONG’ by Djambawa Marawili of the Yolnu people. “The land has everything it needs, but it could not speak. It could not express itself, tell its identity, so it grew a tongue. That is the Yolnu.” #indigenousart #artdaily #davesfaves #australianart #art

‘Parrot’, by Sheila Robinson, 1965. Sheila often worked in lino and wood cutting, but for this print she cut into cardboard. #englishart #davesfaves #art #englishculture

A sunny morning in camp, so I hiked to the Starling Lake viewpoint. Such colour! I’ve begun a painting of this scene. #algonquin #hiking #camping #ontario #nature #beauty

My current art studio; this camp spot is only 2 hours hike from the road, and so very peaceful. I spend all day either painting, watching birds, or making food and hot drinks. The leaf colour this year is incredible. #pleinair #painting #canada #art #camping #hiking #nature

Gave the billionaires, nature haters, and war criminals a spirited welcome to Toronto this week. #resist #naturelover #toronto #canada #classwar

A friend is sadly fading away, and recently their partner spoke to me of when they met, in California, at a time when the gardens were full of jasmine, carnation, and snapdragons. So today I painted this for them. #art #painting #love

‘Moose’; acrylic on birch bark I got from a local forest. #art #painting #nature #wildlife #rawart

A very enjoyable back-country #hiking and #pleinair #painting trip. No masterpieces created but a lot of enjoyment had. #algonquin #art #camping

If you’re in Toronto consider coming along on the 23rd Sept! (There’ll also be buses laid on from surrounding towns, check the Free Grassy Narrows page for details).

My yearly week long camping, hiking, and plein air painting trip to Algonquin was great. Saw more loons than people, ate simply, drank from the lakes, painted a lot, returned feeling much refreshed. The peace and silence out there is immense. #pleinair #painting #humanmade #art #hiking #camping

I wanted to spend time alone with the Monets yesterday so I arrived at the art gallery very early; had 6 minutes of silent meditation on the lilies before any hustle and chatter entered the room - oh for more, yet grateful all the same. #art #monet

‘Blind Filipino Guitarist’, acrylic on wood panel. #rawart #arte #art #painting #philippines

‘The Last Cast’, acrylic on waste plastic and tin foil. As you likely know, Israel bans fishing in Gaza. Any local trying to feed their family by day is targeted/murdered by drones. These men have fished under cover of night and are making one last effort at sunrise. #art #palestine #painting

‘Loon near Egilsstadir’, acrylic on birch bark. The knot in the birch bark reminded me of the body of a loon. So I painted one I saw in East Iceland, on a lake among birch forest, this past June. #art #birds #iceland #natureart #artoftheday #painting

The weather’s forecast to be fine for pow wow tomorrow at Grand River (Six Nations), I’m looking forward to a great gathering. This was taken last Sunday at Scugog pow wow.

Scugog #powwow last Sunday. So nice to mingle with welcoming folks, and dance to the drums in the sun, and with pow wows being alcohol/drug free it helps keep the vibe chill and real. Such fine artistry and creativity on display too! #indigenous #canada #culture #ontario #creativity #firstnations

Deep in an Icelandic birch forest I came upon a Barrow’s Goldeneye on an emerald green pond. Upon returning home it was an act of praise to paint the scene on birch bark. #art #painting #spiritual #bird #nature #rawart #handmade #iceland #humanmade #duck

After mum passed, my sister took cuttings from mums garden and planted them around her own pond, to help keep memories alive. Roses, lilies, poppies, and more. They’ve all grown well the past 3 years and are now in full bloom, so last week I painted the scene. #painting #flowers #gardens #art

Puffins are beautiful! They’re also endangered. Sadly, hunting is still allowed in summer, just when they’re feeding chicks. Many folks don’t ‘do’ politics. But everything today is a political decision. Love nature? Help save it any way you can. #birds #birdoftheday #nature #activism #photography

Visited an exhibition by David Blackwood today, his etchings/prints are amazing. This one, from 1980, is called ‘Fire down on the Labrador’. #art #aquatint #fineart #davesfaves #handmade #canadianart #artoftheday #etching #nature #newfoundland

A Horned Grebe in Dalvík, Iceland, recently. They nest on many lakes across the north of the island and are quite a regular sight there; very different from here in Canada where I might only see a couple each year. #birdoftheday #birds #iceland #naturephotography
