Nine squares with art from 2025. Cut out of 8 anime eyes; US map colored with native tribal symbols (by Jaune Quick-To-See Smith); einiosaurus; Ghibli food; blue zentangle; pigeons; Bertha Parker; and purple sketches of mouths. The central square says "Artist reveal when I reach 1k followers"

Closing my #YearInReview with my #ArtVsArtist #ArtVsArtist2025. I had fun creating in various styles, media and themes. I learned a lot and I continue to enjoy seeing improvement in my creations.

A watercolor drawing on black background and white laurel pieces surrounding the text. 2404 consecutive days, 185 hours and 35 minutes. 2749 total days, 18 thousand total minutes and 413 milestones.

Many years ago I discovered the power of a consistent morning routine that includes 4 minutes of meditation. 4 minutes may not seem much but they add up! Here the stats in my #InsightTimer app. Are there tasks that you do every single day to bring you joy and peace? #Meditation #YearInReview

A watercolor pencil drawing of a cute owl character, wearing fancy red suit with cape and large hat, holding a rainbow red rose. The owl is sitting in front of a few monuments from Chicago with one friend: a red masked cute frog. The drawing celebrates the 604 day streak of using the Finch app!

In the #AntiPlanner book @danidonovan.com introduced me to the Finch app last year: a virtual self-care pet friend. I used it consistently and it is helpful! Here is Magic my cute owl adventuring with a friend! Do you have any apps or habits to cultivate self-care? #FinchApp #YearInReview

Fourteen small watercolor drawings of various dishes answering specific questions from my book "which meals did you like between ages 7 - 15?" Fusilli al burro, bacon omelette, and bruschetta. "What are meals that start with s, t, v, w, x, y or z?" Spaghetti with mussels, white bean soup, yellow curry, zuppa alla Xavier. "In the mood for something rich and smoky: what would you cook or eat?" One-pot miso mushroom pasta, crispy tofu stir fry, smoky chicken salad stuffed avocados. "You had a great success at a big event exam or performance: what would you eat to celebrate?" Creamy vegan mushroom pasta, seared scallops, mushroom bourguignon, tapas spread.

Last year I embraced my passion for #MealPlanning to write the book "Questioning Meal Planning, 100 questions, and zero recipes to help with 365 days of 'What's for dinner?' "
Here some small watercolors in my #sketchbook with an answer from the book! #ArtAdventCalendar #ArtYear

A page of the book "365 Days of Feel-Good Art" completed with bright colors Arrtx acrylic markers. Drawing of a light blue Bluetooth speaker holder on a pink and red background, and a couple of tangerines on a yellow and magenta background. Prompt 123: Think about how you can bring more colour to your art by adding bright backgrounds. While drawing from life, try putting colours behind what you see.

#365daysofFeelGoodArt is a book with many interesting prompts to quickly jumpstart a few minutes (or a few hours) of creativity!
So relaxing and fun! #ArtAdventCalendar #ArtYear

Drawing of five dinosaurs: one large spiky, one skinny striped with long blue head and orange wattle; one large and green with tiny brown spikes; one light brown with large head with frill and grey curvy horn, and one dark brown with fluffy hands and tail. The fourth dinosaur is drawn with a set of gray and browns Arrtx markers arranged around the page and around the 2025 Dinovember logo. Dinovember 2025 is also written in braille

Learning about dinosaurs and experimenting with limited colors of Arrtx markers was so fun! I love how this double page spread turned out! #ArtAdventCalendar #ArtYear
