#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11! Gouache plein air study of one of my favorite cherry trees at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden! A big gnarly ancient weeping cherry tree

Gouache painting of a fantastically twisted old cherry tree festooned with long strands of pink blossoms, on a sunny Spring day with a bright blue sky. Beyond it is part of the visitor’s center, a round building with tall windows and a grass-covered roof.

Dawn

While working in Tokyo for 9 months, I had a stint of night shift. On my days off, not wanting up upset my sleep schedule, I would go for short night & dawn walks with my cane.

This was one of the most beautiful, even before I had my fun with the colors.

A view of Tokyo's imperial palace in varying lavenders and purples. The sky has swirling clouds in waves of color shifting light, undulating out from thte warm cream building in the right upper third of the frame. behind the cream palace building with purple upturned rooves are dark green trees, which divide the frame horizontally. the bottom two thirds of the image are water, which reflects the multicolored sky and palace's shape, broken up by warm purple flowers? leaves? spell remnants? floating on the surface.

Two color ink artwork of a winter pond, with brown reedy cattails and an icy blue lake texture. More minimal piece with some smudged reeds in the foreground, echoing the cold of winter. Two winter deciduous trees frame the pond on the left. It's torn from a sketchbook and the paper bindings are beside the trees.

For today's #DecembArt post, I'm sharing one of my Neuro inspired pieces.

More birch trees for #ArtAdventCalendar Day 11! But this time with fun, funky palette-knife trunks.

I love the organic, spontaneous feel that technique gives to a painting.

A photo of two framed watercolor paintings of birch trees, with trunks done with a palette knife for a messy, organic look. One tree has bright green early summer leaves, and the other has yellow & golden fall foliage. The image is shown on a black background surrounded by white text reading:

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 Frosted dead spruce branches at the edge of woods, and deep winter shadows.. Not exactly warm, but yesterday was a bit milder, so I spent more time outside- got some wood cut and took a few photos and a bit of video- of course I missed the early sun...lol Today much colder and fresh snow- still hoping to get a quick bit of wood harvesting in but I won't hang around outside too long. #pagan #photography #BorealForest #Alberta #winter #frostodon

Several dry needle-less spruce branches hang downward from a large tree of White Spruce Picea Glauca. All the fine twigs are still intact and now they are lightly coated with frost crystals, almost giving the appearance of a tree in full growth with white branches/needles. Next to the spruce branches we see part of the trunk of a Balsam Poplar Populus Balsamifera. The bark is a slightly gold tinted grey with deep rough irregular vertical fissures and furrow and a few tiny bits of clinging snow. The background is more blurred branches and trunks, in shadow within the woods. There's a faint violet tint applied and the edges are blurred with a black vignette applied to accentuate the shadows of the season even as snow and frost whiten everything.

Oops, almost forgot my #ArtAdventCalendar! Here's my friend Marc's tractor.

A checkered piece of fabric with a slightly wonky Fendt tractor appliqueed on it. It's made from little scraps of green, red and grey fabric. In the background some red apples are made with reverse applique and embroidery. (My friend who owns this tractor is an apple farmer)

A cloudy sky over snow-covered mountains. At the base of the mountains, flames, and some kind of round pale ball. The brushwork is Van Gogh like.
