Here is the landscape photo that I took that inspired the 3 Cherryhill paintings. Do you have a preference on the style of painting 1, 2 or 3? #painting #art #artist #canadian #landscape #inspiration #abstract #expressionism #brushstrokes #textures #paletteknife #ArtYear

Here is the 3rd painting inspired by the same landscape as Cherryhill #1 and #2. This one was done only with a palette knife. Cherryhill #3 #painting #art #artist #canadian #landscape #inspired #abstract #oiloncanvas #paletteknife #FebruARTy #ArtYear #BlueskyArtShow #BlueskyArtNightMarket

After a very long hiatus of not painting or creating. I wanted to rediscover my creative process and style. Inspired by the same landscape as Cherryhill #1, here is another version. Cherryhill #2 #painting #landscape #artist #art #canadian #BlueSkyArtNightMarket #ArtYear #FebruArty #oil #canvas

After completing my BFA, I went through an event and I "lost" my creativity. Many many years later, I needed a painting for over my couch. This was inspired by a photo of the sky I took. Cherryhill #1 #art #artist #canadianart #artyear #blueskynightmarket #landscape #inspired #sky #abstract

It was a snow day today - all schools were closed. After a day of shovelling and entertaining my husky in the snow, it was nice to unwind with a tea and relax with a line drawing in my sketchbook #workinprogress #relaxation #linedrawing #sketchbook #linedrawing #art #artist #ArtYear #canadian

It's been 3 weeks since joining Bluesky, and I'm loving this platform so far. I just finished the #20pots to share my ceramic work. What other hashtags are artists using to share work?

I love making these bowls! Creating the lines are often a relaxing part of the process as I allow the form to guide me. The Gardiner Museum Shop asked for a set to sell. Grateful for the opportunity. linktr.ee/alanamar.arts #pottery #ceramics #clay #pottersofbluesky #blueskynightmarket #canadian

This set has 9 tiles that were slip cast from a plaster mould I made of the original sculpted design. The black line is used to disrupt the form and connect each tile. #pottery #ceramics #clay #slipcast #blackline #design #sculptural #connection #disruption #pottersofbluesky #art #artist #canadian

With this set, I wanted to explore the use of positive and negative space. The black line transforms into a white line when the surface changes from white to black. Then I used red marks to interrupt the surface. #pottery #ceramics #clay #nest #set #pottersofbluesky #art #artist #artyear #canadian

Another set of sculptural bowls that nest into each other. They all have a unique hand painted line design, but when nested connect at the rim. 3 of these pieces are available at The Gardiner Museum Shop. linktr.ee/alanamar.arts #pottery #ceramics #clay #slipcast #gardinershop #toronto #art
