Day 1 of #ArtAdventCalendar

One of a handful of plein-air paintings I have painted in Finland. I painted it in Haukipudas in 2008, and left it somewhere in Liminka in 2015. (Oops) It is of the huge, old pine tree on the shore of Kiiminki River where we used to live.

"Petäjä" (Old Pine Tree), oil on stretched canvas, 88 cm x 65.5 cm, 2008

A cropped image of an ostensibly vertical painting of old pine tree with long, swooping branches reaching up and out. Swirling brush strokes in light greens and yellows over more blocky marks in tan and reds for the branches. Background of blue sky seen through the branches.

A white church stands alone on a square on the promontory. Its door is open, but inside you can only see darkness.

‘Like much of the oligarchic class, the boy-gods of Silicon Valley still cleave to Hobbesian myths to justify their grip on wealth and power. [...] Promises of rewards in the afterlife have been supplanted by dreams of a technological singularity and interplanetary civilization.’

A truly interesting article that I came across thanks to Simone Pieranni from the Italian podcast Fuori da qui.

Hi everyone! Here’s my brief #introduction: I’m half homebody, half outdoor enthusiast, and I jump at every chance to go #hiking or #camping. I’m passionate about #postpunk and #electronic music, and I’m learning and experimenting with film #photography. I’m also trying to slow down and read more books, mostly non-fiction. Last but certainly not least, I deeply care about #environment and #sustainability topics.

A few shots from a night spent under the stars in the tent. See you around!

Few more four-value notans for the morning.

Four value marker study of the backside of a white clapboard house. Facades and roofs are stacked in a jumble, with a back entry door prevailing in the lower center of the scene. Windows dot the facades as a chimney rises from the larger roof in the upper third.Four value marker study of the side entry to a church. Arched, stained windows rest in different sizes on different levels and recesses, below steep roofs.Four value marker study of the backside of apartments and businesses in downtown Montpelier VT. A telephone wire to the left is lugging multiple transformers, delivering wires to several buildings, as a dark angular shadow cuts from the right to lower left covering empty parking spaces.Four value marker study of small colonial houses in downtown Middlebury VT. A tall, dark telephone pole stands in the center of the scene, above short house fronts drenched in shadow from sunlight coming from the upper left of the scene.

Now this. This is #solarpunk.

A true community-owned gardening project. So many stadiums and sports institutes are just left to rot once they're no longer profitable, instead of being reused for the greater good. Remember, repurposing is always easier than recycling.
