Birdtober ......

Last month I participated in a fun "art challenge" called Birdtober 2024.

There was a Prompt list for each day of October with the name of a bird.

I started a fresh art journal and decided on a page layout ~ ultimately deciding on a two-page spread with a headshot, egg study, feather meaning, nesting habits and some notes on each bird.  It was so much fun to do, and the bonus was learning about birds I don't normally paint. I embellished the pages with a pressed flower from my garden attached with washi tape.  I'm not sure how I will fill in the remainder of the pages left in the art journal ... maybe I will just paint the birds at our feeder this month (there have been so many) and add some favourite bird quotes. 

I hope you enjoy looking through the pages xo 

 

Hello November . . .

Welcoming in the month of November with having my two art submissions accepted into

Art in the Workplace, McMaster Innovation Parks #40th Exhibit.

The exhibit runs from November - February 2025.

Always so grateful to have this beautiful, welcoming space, and have my art sharing the walls with other talented, passionate artists.

This submission was a bit different as I entered two of my largest canvas pieces.  I normally go with smaller pieces around 9" x 12".  As with my other pieces, they have a little story written & tucked in underneath all the paint. Inspired by woodland walks. xx 

They fly to her

***

30" x 30"

One gentle touch

and friends abound

who gather near

where kindness is found.

An open heart 

an outstretched hand

gentle whispers spoken

to friends as they land.

They fly to her

when a storm is brewing

with gifts of song

and gentle cooing.

As though I had Wings

***

23" x 31"

 Strength and strings

woven things

embrace my day

and all that it brings.

Take me on a journey

I may never have again

Let me ride with you

as though I had wings.

~deb dunn~
