'Piccadilly Circus' (from 'Looking Round London', c.1938) by Helen Carstairs

My parents adopted Purrcy a couple months ago so this was his first Christmas.

Just popping in on the last day of #ArtAdventCalendar to thank everyone for participating & making it the best event in its history.

Sean Connery, oil on canvas 40x40 cms @elenevermeer.bsky.social #art #oilpainting

Here’s a painting on my easel, I’ve been working on for several months. This is an abstract realism of two very different women and opposing themes or forces. 16x20 inches, acrylic mixed media. #ArtAdventCalendar Day 19

#artadventcalendar Day 16 "A Glass World, Versailles" Watercolour, 17 x 29" 2010 (Sold, Private Collection) A window in the Palace of Versailles invites sunlight into a great marbled hall & across an intricate wood floor, creating an almost-dizzying effect of pattern, textures & perspective.

#artadventcalendar Day 16 Pin Cushion wall quilt. 35”x35”. Another collage quilt from a few years ago, my first. I’m obviously a lover of sewing so this theme was perfect. A delightful exploration well outside my comfort zone.

Day 17 #ArtAdventCalendar Hydrangea 16x20 acrylic on canvas I painted this years ago when I first started painting. My earliest works are heavily influenced by my mentor, Lloyd Fitzgerald. He taught me to paint and to be fearless. #flowers #hydrangea #art #acrylic 🎨🍃

When I said I would paint the house… Acrylic on paper. Day 17 #ArtAdventCalendar (It isn’t actually my house)

"Burren Tree" One of my earlier Burren paintings, it came out of a cycling visit to my favourite limestone karst region of Ireland. I do like the other parts of County Clare, but find the Burren's stone walls on fields of stone intoxicating. #SpeirGorm #ArtAdventCalendar
